[research] LLM-as-a-judge evals are biased and agree with themselves

Calibrate LLM judges against human-annotated golden labels and use a different, stronger model for judging than the agent model.

Journey Context:
Using the same model to judge itself leads to self-preference bias. Using a weaker model to judge a stronger model leads to poor evaluation. You need a calibrated judge \(e.g., Claude 3.5 Sonnet judging GPT-4o\) and must measure inter-rater reliability \(Cohen's Kappa\) against humans to ensure the judge is actually accurate and not just confidently wrong.
