Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you want a guided learning path for generative AI evaluation, beginning with core concepts and continuing into modules relevant to a particular workload or framework.
Who it is for
- Developers and practitioners learning to evaluate generative AI systems for production use.
- Learners with basic Python and machine-learning familiarity who want a structured introduction to AI evaluation.
Documented uses
- Assess workload operational metrics such as cost and performance.
- Evaluate and tune the quality of generative AI results.
- Find failure patterns by examining agent traces.
- Explore evaluation methods for particular workloads, frameworks or industries.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public on GitHub and carries an MIT-0 license. The workshop prerequisites include an AWS account with Amazon Bedrock enabled and configured AWS credentials.
- The recommended foundational path covers operational metrics, quality metrics, failure analysis and agentic metrics.
- Optional modules can be chosen by workload, framework or industry rather than followed as one fixed sequence.
- The interactive-learning option is a separate way to study the notebooks using a compatible AI coding assistant; the repository names Kiro and Claude as examples.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Start with the foundational evaluation modules
Set up the workshop and follow its recommended sequence for core generative AI evaluation topics.
Before you start
- An AWS account with Amazon Bedrock enabled
- Basic Python and machine-learning familiarity
- AWS credentials
Steps
Clone the workshop repository.
Configure AWS credentials.
Work through the Foundational Evaluations modules in order: operational metrics, quality metrics, understanding failures, and agentic metrics.
Expected outcome
A structured introduction to operational and quality evaluation, agent-trace failure analysis, and agentic metrics.
Guide limitations
- The workshop lists AWS account access with Amazon Bedrock enabled as a prerequisite.
- Workload-, framework- and industry-specific modules are separate optional material.
