Evaluation

Drift detection

Drift detection finds changes in model behavior over time.

Quick definition

Drift detection finds changes in model behavior over time.

  • Category: Evaluation
  • Focus: quality measurement
  • Used in: Comparing models or prompt variants.

What it means

It helps maintain quality after updates. In evaluation workflows, drift detection often shapes quality measurement.

How it works

Evaluation uses tests and benchmarks to measure quality and catch regressions.

Why it matters

Evaluation ensures you can measure and improve quality over time.

Common use cases

  • Comparing models or prompt variants.
  • Tracking accuracy over time with regression tests.
  • Validating that outputs meet acceptance criteria.

Example

Detect higher error rates post-deploy.

Pitfalls and tips

Overfitting to a single benchmark can mislead. Use varied tests and real-world examples.
