{"slug": "jev-as-a-judge-for-agent-evaluations", "title": "Jev-as-a-Judge for Agent Evaluations", "summary": "A tutorial published by Jev introduces Jev-as-a-Judge, a method that uses the Jev model as an LLM-as-a-judge to evaluate AI agent runs by reading the request, each tool call and its result, and the final reply, then returning a verdict with a probability attached. The approach targets cases where an agent sounds correct despite failing, such as a refund agent claiming \"Your refund has been processed\" when the refund tool timed out, and is presented through one refund example plus a live playground, with a full lab building the complete evaluation workflow.", "body_md": "**LLM-as-a-judge** means using a large language model (LLM) to evaluate the work of another model. You give the judge an output, or a pair of outputs, along with the criteria that matter, and it scores, ranks, or compares them. Did the answer follow the policy? Is response A better than response B? Did the agent actually finish the task?\n\nThis approach is useful because manual review does not scale. A person can carefully read a few dozen outputs, but a judge model can apply the same criteria to thousands of runs, every time you change a prompt, a tool, or a model.\n\nJev is a new model built specifically for this kind of decision, which makes it a natural fit for the judge role. Using Jev as the judging LLM is what this tutorial means by **Jev-as-a-Judge**.\n\nJudging agents adds a twist, because an agent can sound correct even when its work failed. Imagine a refund agent telling a customer, \"Your refund has been processed,\" when the refund tool actually timed out.\n\nJev-as-a-Judge catches this by checking what the agent did, not just what it said. Jev reads the request, each tool call and its result, and the final reply, then returns a verdict with a probability attached.\n\nThis guide walks through the idea with one refund example and a live playground.
