Report #16033

[research] Relying solely on automated LLM-as-a-judge evals for complex agent tasks leads to blind spots where the judge model shares the same biases or blind spots as the agent model.

Implement a 'human-in-the-loop' eval pipeline for low-confidence agent runs. Route traces where the agent's self-critique score is low, or where operational metrics are anomalous, to a human annotation queue.

Journey Context:
Automated evals are great for regression, but they cannot validate novel capabilities or subtle tone/brand issues. If your agent and your judge are both GPT-4, they might both miss the same hallucination. By routing the 'long tail' of weird, low-confidence agent trajectories to humans, you gather the high-quality data needed to fine-tune both the agent and the judge, continuously improving the automated eval suite.
