今日目标

---

一、Agent 评估为什么难

1.1 与 LLM 评估的差异

1.2 评估目标分层

End-to-end: 任务完成了吗？输出对吗？
    │
    ▼
Trajectory: 路径合理吗？有冗余/错误步骤吗？
    │
    ▼
Step-level: 每步 tool 选择正确吗？参数对吗？
    │
    ▼
Component: LLM 输出本身、tool handler、memory 等组件

实际项目里全都要，但优先级依任务性质：

• 客户对答型 → 偏 end-to-end
• 自动化操作型 → 偏 trajectory（每步审）
• 高风险（金融、医疗） → step-level + safety check

---

二、关键 metrics

2.1 Success metrics

• Task success rate（pass/fail 二分）
• Partial credit（多个子目标，完成几个）
• Output quality score（LLM-as-judge / human rubric）

2.2 Efficiency metrics

• Steps to completion vs optimal
• Tool calls vs optimal
• Tokens used total
• Wall-clock latency
• Cost per task

2.3 Safety / robustness metrics

• Tool error rate
• Hallucination rate（捏造数字）
• Refusal rate（应该完成却拒绝）
• Destructive action without confirmation
• PII leakage

2.4 Trajectory metrics

• Path divergence from gold trajectory（如果有）
• Backtracking count（agent 反复调同一 tool）
• Reasoning quality（thinking 内容评分）

---

三、行业基准

金融特有 bench 还很缺。生产里多自建 internal benchmark（基于真实历史 case）。

六、金融领域应用——Internal eval set 怎么建

6.1 数据来源

• 历史客服 ticket——真实问题，结果已知
• 历史投资建议——回测知道是否成功
• 合规审查记录——人工审核结果
• 故意构造 adversarial 案例——prompt injection、PII fishing、misinformation

6.2 标注成本

每个 case 标注：

• task（用户原话）
• expected facts / forbidden facts
• expected tool sequence (gold trajectory)
• rubric（能否合规等）

100 个高质量 case ≈ 1 周分析师工作量。

6.3 周期

• 每次 prompt/agent 改动跑全量
• 每天/每周对比版本，监控 regression
• 失败 case 加入"硬骨头集"

---

七、Web3 集成

Onchain agent eval 的特殊点

推荐做法

• Forked mainnet 做 eval（hardhat/foundry fork）
• Pre/post state diff——agent 完成后 portfolio 状态是否符合 expected
• Worst-case loss bound——最坏路径下亏损不超过 X%

---

八、生产经验与陷阱

1. LLM-as-judge 偏见 judge LLM 喜欢"长且自信"的答案。简短正确 vs 冗长错误时，judge 选错。Mitigation：① rubric 明确"准确性优先 over 详尽"；② 用多个 judge model（opus + GPT 投票）；③ 抽样人工 spot-check。

2. Eval set 数据泄漏 eval task 出现在训练数据，模型"记得答案"。Mitigation：① 私有 set；② 周期性更新；③ 加 paraphrase 测试鲁棒性。

3. Pass@1 不够鲁棒 一次跑过/不过随机性大。同任务跑 3-5 次取平均（Pass@k）。

4. 只看平均掩盖长尾 Avg=0.85 但底部 5% 是关键风险。看 P10 分位数 + worst case 案例。

5. Cost-quality tradeoff 错配 评估只看 quality 不看 cost。模型 A quality 90% cost $0.10，模型 B quality 87% cost $0.02——后者可能是更优生产选择。

6. Eval 与生产分布不匹配 eval set 都是漂亮的句子，生产里用户写错别字、emoji、半截句。需要"野外采样"加入 eval。

7. Regression 漏检 优化 case A 时无意中 break case B。每次提交跑全量 + diff 报告。

8. 过拟合 eval 工程师反复看哪些 case 失败，针对性改 prompt，eval 分数上升但实际能力没动。Mitigation：① held-out test set 永不调优；② 周期性新增 case。

---

九、Cost & Latency

一次完整 eval 套件

如果每 PR 都跑全量，CI 成本月度 $1k-5k。可考虑：smoke set（快速 10 cases）每次 PR + full set 每天/周。

---

十、关键速查

Eval metric 推荐组合（金融场景）

Bench 选择

---

十一、面试题

Q1: 评估一个 agent 比评估 LLM 难在哪？

A: 主要 4 点：① 输出是 trajectory 而非单次 completion，多步耦合；② 成本是 LLM eval 的 5-50x，跑一次完整 eval 烧钱；③ 正确性多维（quality/cost/safety/efficiency），不能用单一 metric；④ 状态依赖（tool state、网络），可重现性差，需要 fixture / mocking。

Q2: LLM-as-judge 有哪些常见偏见？

A: ① Length bias——偏好长回答；② Confidence bias——偏好"自信"的措辞；③ Format bias——偏好 markdown 格式化；④ Position bias——AB 比较时偏好第一个；⑤ Self-preference——同家族模型互捧。Mitigation：rubric 严格、多 judge 投票、随机化顺序、抽样人工校准。

Q3: Pass@1 vs Pass@k，什么场景用哪个？

A: Pass@1 适合"一次成功要求高"的生产场景（agent 必须一次到位）。Pass@k 适合"评估能力上限"（agent 多次尝试至少一次成功的概率，类似招聘里的"多次面试"）。生产监控用 Pass@1，研究/招新模型时看 Pass@k 看潜力。

Q4: 内部 eval 套件设计原则？

A: ① 真实场景 sourced（从生产 trace 抽）；② 多样性（覆盖不同 difficulty、不同领域、adversarial cases）；③ 标注质量高（每个 case 有明确 expected）；④ 平衡（不只测好场景，要测 edge case）；⑤ 持续维护（新 failure mode 加入）；⑥ 私有（防训练泄漏）；⑦ 自动化（CI 集成）；⑧ 报告可读（pass rate + per-metric + worst case）。

Q5: Agent 在 eval set 上 95% 通过，生产里却经常出错，如何 debug？

A: 八成是 eval 与生产分布不匹配。步骤：① 抽 100 条生产 trace，按用户输入分布 vs eval set 输入分布做 KL；② 检查 fail case 是否有共性（特定表述、特定 ticker、特定时段）；③ 把 fail case 加入 eval；④ 检查环境差异（生产 tool API 是否更不稳）；⑤ 加 dogfooding（团队人天天用），人脑是最敏感的 detector。

十二、生产实战——eval 与 CI 集成

12.1 PR check 流程

# .github/workflows/agent-eval.yml
name: Agent Eval
on: [pull_request]
jobs:
  smoke:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: pip install -r requirements.txt
      - run: python agent_eval.py --suite smoke
        env:
          ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_KEY }}
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        with:
          path: eval_report.md

每 PR 跑 smoke set（10 cases，2 分钟，$0.50）。每天 / 周 cron 跑 full set（100 cases，30 分钟，$10）。

12.2 报警阈值

12.3 监控 vs CI 的差异

两者都要，互补关系。

---

十三、Eval 进阶——多模型对比

MODELS = ["claude-opus-4-7", "claude-sonnet-4-6", "claude-haiku-4-5"]
results = {m: run_suite(ReActAgent(TOOLS, model=m), CASES) for m in MODELS}

# Aggregate
for m, rs in results.items():
    pass_rate = sum(r.passed for r in rs) / len(rs)
    avg_cost = statistics.mean(r.trace.cost_usd(m) for r in rs)
    print(f"{m}: pass={pass_rate:.2%} cost=${avg_cost:.4f}")

输出例：

claude-opus-4-7:   pass=92% cost=$0.072
claude-sonnet-4-6: pass=86% cost=$0.018
claude-haiku-4-5:  pass=72% cost=$0.005

决策："用 sonnet 而非 opus，省 4x 成本，损失 6pp 准确率"——是否接受看任务价值。

---

十四、Eval 进阶——A/B 测试 prompt 改动

agent_v1 = ReActAgent(TOOLS, system_prompt=PROMPT_V1)
agent_v2 = ReActAgent(TOOLS, system_prompt=PROMPT_V2)
results_v1 = run_suite(agent_v1, CASES)
results_v2 = run_suite(agent_v2, CASES)

# Pairwise comparison
diffs = []
for r1, r2 in zip(results_v1, results_v2):
    diffs.append(r2.overall - r1.overall)
print(f"v2 - v1: avg={statistics.mean(diffs):.3f} significant={statistics.stdev(diffs)}")

Significance：5%-10% 的差异在 50 cases 上一般要 t-test 才能判定显著。

十五、Human-in-the-loop eval

LLM-as-judge 不够时，加入人工：

人工 audit 的输出反过来训练 LLM judge（让 judge 更接近人类标准）。

十六、扩展练习

1. 加 cost-quality Pareto frontier——画出 model × prompt 的散点图
2. 跑 N=5 重复——取 P10/P50/P90，比单点稳定
3. 实现 hard set——把生产 fail case 加入 eval
4. 用 GPT-4 做第二 judge——和 Claude judge 投票
5. 写 HTML 报告生成器——可点击展开每 case 的 trace
6. 集成到 LangSmith——用 LangSmith 自带 eval framework
7. 设计 deception eval——专门测 agent 是否会撒谎/捏造数据
