Evals are the new PRD. The companies building AI products that actually work are running 12.8 eval experiments per day. Here is the playbook with Ankur Goyal, Founder and CEO of Braintrust ($800M valuation, behind Vercel, Replit, Ramp, Zapier, Notion, Airtable): ⏱ 1:43 Why vibe checks stop scaling ⏱ 6:35 Evals are the new PRD ⏱ 8:45 The Claude Code evals controversy ⏱ 18:48 Building an eval live from zero ⏱ 29:51 Connecting Linear MCP and iterating ⏱ 39:12 Why you need evals that fail ⏱ 43:36 Offline vs online evals ⏱ 47:40 Three mistakes killing eval culture The core framework: every eval is exactly three things. A set of inputs your product needs to handle. A task that takes those inputs and generates outputs. A scoring function that produces a number between 0 and 1. We built one from scratch on camera. Score went from 0 to 0.75 in under 20 minutes.

So many people talking about AI evals. Hamel Husain and Shreya Shankar show me how to actually build one. Live. Hamel and Shreya teach the world’s most popular course on evals, and have long been at the forefront of this emerging and important new skill for AI product builders. I'm so excited to finally have them on the podcast. Learn: 🔸 WTF are evals 🔸 A step-by-step live walkthrough of how to create an eval 🔸 Why evals have become so important 🔸 The debate between “vibes” and systematic evals 🔸 Code-based evals vs. LLM-as-judge 🔸 Why you only need 4-7 evals (not hundreds) 🔸 Building an LLM judge in Google Sheets 🔸 Why you always want to start with error analysis 🔸 Much more Listen now 👇 • YouTube: • Spotify: • Apple: Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for supporting the podcast: 🏆 Fin — The #1 AI agent for customer service: 🏆 dscout — The UX platform to capture insights at every stage: from ideation to production: 🏆 Mercury — The art of simplified finances:

Anthropic Engineer: "The biggest mistake in AI right now - people are building graphs and loops without self-improving eval agent We made that mistake at Anthropic - It cost us 2 years" here's how he build it, step by step: step 1 → take 50 real user prompts - run your agent - if it passes 80%+, your eval is too easy - sweet spot is 50% step 2 → every failed run is a transcript - feed it to Haiku: "what went wrong?" - your eval set builds itself for free step 3 → score two things: right answer AND right path - right answer, wrong path = breaks next week step 4 → new model drops, run the same eval - his +9% was fake - 6% was the model dodging a bug - the transcript caught it, the dashboard didn't step 5 → plug evals into CI - no green evals = no deploy - this is the loop that fixes itself 99% people never did this - but it pays for itself on day one save this and build it today - full graph engineering guide in the article below ↓

Terminal-Bench 2.0 went from ~25% → 80% in four months and became the standard eval for frontier CLI agents. Now, TB3 is in the works. I talked to Alex Shaw about what happens when model capabilities climb faster than we can measure them. His answer: the benchmark factory (Harbor Framework)— infrastructure to develop hard, representative evals at the pace that the frontier moves. As Alex put it: "we need a thousand times more benchmarks than we have right now." 00:23 - How quickly models hill-climbed TB2 01:46 - What rapid progress reveals about benchmarks vs. real-world capability 03:28 - What made Terminal-Bench stick 04:58 - Why the terminal is the right abstraction for agentic AI 07:14 - How TB2 maintains task quality at scale 09:23 - Managing benchmark integrity in a benchmaxxing world 10:47 - Harbor: from experiment to benchmark factory 12:19 - What Harbor does that nothing else did 14:37 - The invariants: what won't change as agent evals evolve 16:55 - The benchmark Alex most wants to see built 18:18 - The ideal human-in-the-loop task creation flywheel 20:32 - How to contribute to Terminal-Bench 3.0

I'm often asked for the best public example of AI evals done right for a real, production product. I finally have an answer. Teresa Torres shares how she shipped an AI interview coach, and used evals to rapidly squash bugs and improve the product. Teresa shows how she: 1. did error analysis FIRST to find real issues (instead of using generic metrics) 😍 2. used Jupyter notebooks to analyze errors 3. built custom annotation tools + custom widgets in notebooks 4. built a LLM-judge and assertions to test for specific errors 5. iterated through this feedback loop until it worked. 6. kept things simple the whole time It's also probably the best commercial for Jupyter notebooks you can imagine. 🥰 Chapter summary below.

Inside Nemotron and NVIDIA's AI lab: my conversation with Bryan Catanzaro (Bryan Catanzaro). NVIDIA is a chip company. So why does it put hundreds of researchers on building AI models - and then give them away for free? We go deep into the Nemotron models, what it takes to build a top AI lab, and the future of frontier AI. 01:33 - Is open source AI catching the frontier? 05:29 - Do closed labs blocking distillation slow open source down? 07:42 - Is the US falling behind China? 10:30 - Why companies actually choose open models 12:39 - A "crazy" 2008 bet: machine learning on GPUs 15:33 - Working with Andrew Ng and Dario Amodei at Baidu 17:41 - Coming back to NVIDIA: DLSS and the birth of Megatron 21:55 - The real reason NVIDIA builds its own models 24:28 - Is Moore's Law really dead? 33:37 - The Nemotron family: Nano, Super, Ultra 35:09 - Built for agents: why NVIDIA bets on speed 36:02 - How you train a 550B model in 4 bits 39:25 - Hybrid Mamba-Transformer, explained simply 42:31 - Mixture of experts, and why NVIDIA built NVL72 around it 47:26 - Why a 1-million-token context window matters 49:26 - Multi-token prediction: how the model predicts 5 tokens at once 52:47 - Multi-teacher distillation: teaching one model from many 58:01 - Where reinforcement learning goes next 01:00:16 - Inside NVIDIA's research org: "the mission is the boss" 01:04:03 - How NVIDIA decides who gets the GPUs 01:10:53 - Why NVIDIA still feels entrepreneurial after 33 years 01:12:58 - Why Bryan doesn't believe in the singularity 01:17:50 - The AI backlash 01:19:18 - The controversial case: open AI is safer than closed

I don't think most PMs realize the PRD is becoming obsolete. For the last decade, the PM's core artifact was a qualitative spec. Clear requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria. The engineering team interpreted it, built something close, and the PM spent two weeks reconciling what shipped with what they wrote. The best AI companies replaced that entire loop with evals. A set of inputs your product needs to handle. A task that generates outputs. A scoring function that produces a number between 0 and 1. No ambiguity. No interpretation gap. Ankur Goyal built the eval platform behind Vercel, Replit, Ramp, Notion, and Airtable. An $800M company. He walked through building an eval from zero on this episode and the score went from 0 to 0.75 in under 20 minutes. That's a PM shipping a measurable quality bar before a single line of product code exists. Here's the part that changes the PM role permanently. When the product passes the eval and users still hate it, the eval is wrong. That's on the PM. Evals make PM judgment quantifiable in a way PRDs never did. You can't hide behind "the spec was ambiguous." There's a number now. Six months ago, PM interviews asked "how do you use AI in your workflow." The next wave of interviews is going to ask you to write an eval. The PMs who can encode user intent as a scoring function are building the one skill that survives every model change, every framework swap, every agent rewrite. Write the eval.
