Evaluation pipeline

As explained in Build an AI Agent (From Scratch)

An evaluation pipeline is an automated sequence that submits evaluation cases to models, validates responses, and records results and metadata.

An evaluation pipeline turns model comparison into a repeatable flow: define structured outputs, solve each problem, validate the answer, capture failures, and aggregate results by model. section 2.4.2

Comparing selected models

Select twenty Level 1 problems, evaluate four named models, and return result lists keyed by model for comparison.

How Build an AI Agent (From Scratch) covers it

How deep it goes
Details schemas, rate limits, retries, validation, exception capture, concurrency, and result grouping.
Examples
Uses GAIA problems, exact answer comparison, provider semaphores, and four selected models over twenty problems.
What it assumes
Assumes Python async functions, dictionaries, model APIs, and structured response models.
What you can do after
Build it from scratch as an asynchronous evaluator that produces correctness, prediction, refusal, and error records.
How it connects
Connects structured output, rate limiting, retries, concurrency, answer validation, and model selection.
