Test AI behavior on real examples

You record realistic inputs, criteria, expected or forbidden actions, predictions, and traces. Use deterministic metrics when possible and judges when quality needs holistic review.

See the idea in context

let engine = AxGEPA::new(reflection_client, json!({}));
let result = engine.optimize(request, evaluator);
  1. Use a realistic input

    The refund request represents the kind of task the agent will face.

  2. Write the success rule

    criteria explains that eligibility must be verified before action.

  3. Record observable behavior

    expectedActions lets the evaluation check tool selection, not only final prose.

Run itIn your own project
cargo add axllm

use axllm::{ai, ax};
use serde_json::json;

let llm = ai("openai", json!({"apiKey": std::env::var("OPENAI_API_KEY")?}))?;
let classify = ax("review:string -> sentiment:class \"positive, negative, neutral\"")?;

Set OPENAI_APIKEY in your environment before running provider-backed code.
