Hamel Husain, a prominent AI engineer, argues that most AI evaluations fail because teams treat weak outputs as model failures when the real problem is product design, not the model itself. In the sec…
A viral joke by Peter Steinberger, creator of OpenClaw, and Hamel Husain, known for AI evals, sparked debate over whether 'loop engineering' is dead and 'graph engineering' is the new discipline. The …
Machine learning engineer Hamel Husain argues that automated evaluations (evals) for AI systems are flawed and often misleading, based on his 20+ years of experience and work at Airbnb and GitHub. He …
A developer reviewed six 'operator-ready' checklists for AI agents and found that none define the problem correctly. The frameworks, including Anthropic's 'Building Effective Agents' and Hamel Husain'…
Hamel Husain argued at Arize Observe 2026 that AI evaluation is fundamentally a data science problem, urging teams to return to rigorous data analysis and metric design rather than relying on vague 'v…
A Forward Deployed Engineer working on AI adoption reports that TDD cannot guarantee design correctness, especially when AI generates tests. The engineer describes an incident where a function signatu…
BenchFlow released a curated, annotated library of over 443 resources for building and evaluating AI agents, including papers, blog posts, talks, and tools. The list is verified, pruned of dead links,…
A developer found that while AI accelerates generation, it does not reduce the cognitive load of judgment. They now delegate tasks only when a machine-checkable gate exists to verify output, as the hi…
