Your first evaluation

Run your first private evaluation in Stratix Premium — pick a model, pick a dataset, see scores in minutes.

A private evaluation runs a model against a dataset and scores the outputs. Here's the fastest way to do one.

Prerequisites

Steps

1. Open Evaluations

In the left rail, click Evaluations. Click New evaluation.

2. Pick a model

Search and select. The full public catalog is searchable, plus any BYOK custom models you've registered.

3. Pick a dataset

Two options:

  • Upload a dataset — drag a CSV/JSONL onto the upload zone. Stratix infers the schema; you confirm input and expected-output columns.

  • Use a starter dataset — pick a benchmark from the public catalog (e.g., MMLU subset).

4. Pick scoring

For your first eval, pick a code grader that fits your data:

  • Exact match — outputs equal to expected

  • Semantic similarity — fuzzy match using an embedding model

  • Regex match — outputs match a pattern

  • JSON schema — outputs validate against a schema

Skip judges for now — you'll build one later.

5. Preview cost

Stratix shows the worst-case ECU consumption before you run. Approve.

6. Run

Click Run. The evaluation queues; results stream in row-by-row.

7. Read the results

The results page shows:

  • Overall score

  • Per-row scores (input → output → score)

  • Score distribution

  • Latency and cost per row

Verify

You should have a completed evaluation with a top-line score. Click any failing row to see the input, the model output, and the expected output side-by-side.

What just happened

Stratix called the model on each input row, ran the scorer against each output, and aggregated the result. Every row is stored — you can re-open this evaluation later or compare it against a future run.

What to try next

  • Run the same evaluation against a different model. Stratix's compare-models view shows both runs side-by-side.

  • Iterate on the prompt. If your dataset includes a prompt template column, change the template and rerun.

  • Add a judge. See First judge for subjective dimensions.
