Choosing an Evaluation Platform: 10 Questions to Ask Before You Buy

Choosing an Evaluation Platform: 10 Questions to Ask Before You Buy

Introduction: Why Choosing the Right Evaluation Platform Matters An evaluation platform measures, tests, and improves your AI applications throughout their lifecycle. For teams building AI agents, chatbots, or RAG pipelines, the right platform enables faster iteration, early quality detection, and confident deployment. Poor selection leads to hidden costs, integration failures,

Best Tools for AI Agent Simulation in 2025: A Guide to Choosing the Right Tool for Your Use Case

Best Tools for AI Agent Simulation in 2025: A Guide to Choosing the Right Tool for Your Use Case

Introduction A single hallucination or infinite loop in production can damage customer trust and violate compliance requirements. Agent simulation solves this by creating controlled environments to test how agents behave, reason, and execute tasks before going live. Unlike simple model testing, simulation evaluates complete workflows including multi-turn conversations, tool calls,

AI Agent Reliability: The Playbook for Production-Ready Systems

AI Agent Reliability: The Playbook for Production-Ready Systems

Most AI agents are still fragile. If you’re building for real users, reliability is non-negotiable. We’ll cover evaluation, simulation, observability, iteration, and security, with clear metrics, examples to level up your stack. TL;DR * Reliability is the non-negotiable for agentic systems. * Measure: task success, tool call errors, loop

LLM Gateways: The Straightforward Guide

LLM Gateways: The Straightforward Guide

TL;DR * LLM gateways are the backbone of your AI stack. They standardize APIs, manage keys, add failovers, and let you swap models without rewriting everything. * If you care about reliability, cost, or scaling, you need a gateway. If you want one that’s actually fast and easy, use Bifrost.

Top 5 Agent Simulation Tools in 2025: What To Use, When, and Why

TL;DR: Simulate before you ship. Maxim AI owns end-to-end simulation, evaluation, and production observability. Prototype crew patterns in CrewAI, replay and trace with LangSmith, harden runs with AgentOps, and explore multi-agent protocols with AutoGen. Plug Maxim into CI, score with balanced evaluators, and keep those metrics live after launch.
