What is independent artificial intelligence evaluation?
Definition
Independent artificial intelligence evaluation lets users, researchers or third parties assess a model with their own tasks and methods. It can test provider claims, identify limitations and determine whether performance transfers to a real workflow.
Independence does not remove the need for rigor. Evaluators should document prompts, tools, harnesses, repeated trials and scoring, and they should distinguish a live demonstration from a representative benchmark.
