LLM Evaluation

Currently Playing: Whats is LLM Benchmarking | Benchmark Saturation vs. Contamination | CampusX

In this session of our LLM Evaluation Masterclass, we decode the mechanics of model-level benchmarking. Using the classic GSM8K mathematical dataset as a practical lens, we walk through how to construct an automated evaluation harness to test raw model capabilities under strictly controlled conditions.
