Hugging Face policy chief says evaluation methods are still immature

Irene Solaiman, Chief Policy Officer at Hugging Face, said at TechCrunch Disrupt that embedded AI evaluators are not an easy solution, and that model evaluation methods are complex and still immature. She noted that evaluation methodology remains an evolving science, the industry does not yet know how to meaningfully compare evaluations with one another, and qualification standards in this area need to be raised substantially. She also mentioned that the reproducibility of evaluation results depends on open weights, that agentic evaluations are both difficult and expensive, and that the number of evaluations currently targeting models, harnesses, and whole agents is uneven.
