A production model evaluation needs measurable success criteria and operational constraints—including quality, latency, and expected request volume—so results can be judged against the workload’s requirements. Candidate models must also be shortlisted according to that requirements profile and their known capabilities before they are evaluated on representative traffic. Anthropic guidance calls for defining measurable success criteria before building evaluations, and AWS guidance describes benchmarking candidate models against a workload-specific evaluation set after determining the required quality and latency characteristics.
