LangChain opens up its eval-engineering skill for teams to run themselves
LangChain packages the internal process it uses to build synthetic agent environments and tasks into an updated eval-engineering skill. Environments define where the agent runs; tasks pair an input with an environment and a test script whose output is scored; together they form a benchmark. Teams can now own the same flow LangChain uses internally for evaluating agents before shipping.
