Key Features
Proprietary Evaluation Sets
Scale provides high-quality, domain-specific evaluation datasets that have not been overfit on, ensuring accurate and meaningful model assessments across capabilities, reasoning, safety, factuality, and robustness.
Expert Rater Quality
Evaluations are powered by trained, specialized human raters supported by strong quality-assurance mechanisms. Transparent metrics allow teams to trust scoring consistency and outcome reliability.
User-Focused Product Experience
A clean, intuitive interface helps teams view model scores, explore weaknesses, compare model outputs, track improvements over time, and analyze performance across categories and versions.
Targeted Evaluations
Custom evaluation sets can be developed to probe high-priority concerns in specific domains — enabling model developers to create targeted datasets for retraining and rapid iteration.
Reporting Consistency
Standardized scoring and evaluation protocols allow for true apples-to-apples model comparisons across different architectures, versions, and providers.
