Terminal-Bench, developed through a collaboration between Stanford University and Laude Institute, has quickly become the gold standard benchmark for evaluating AI agent capabilities in a command line environment. This comprehensive evaluation framework measures how effectively AI agents can perform complex, real-world tasks within terminal environments. At Snorkel AI, we’re excited to share that we’re one of the top collaborators contributing…

Behind every AI benchmark is a hidden choice: how to read the model’s answers. That choice—parsing—can quietly tilt results more than the model itself. Parsing is where we take an AI system’s raw response and extract the “answer” we use for scoring. It sounds mechanical, but as our research shows, the choice of parser can dramatically change measured accuracy. In…

Part 3 of our rubric series explains the science of rubric design. We show why rubrics should be treated like models—structured, measured, and iterated—to maximize objective alignment and inter-rater agreement. Learn how to choose hierarchy and scale points, track agreement (IAA) and LLMAJ alignment, and refine with domain experts, with examples like PaperBench and HealthBench.

Rubrics turn fuzzy “good vs. bad” into measurable criteria for GenAI. In Part 2, we map what to measure (granularity and dataset-level vs instance-specific), where to measure (process vs outcome), and how to measure (humans, LLM-as-judge, code, reward models)—with examples like HHH, FLASK, HealthBench, and PaperBench.

Rubrics aren’t just for evaluation—they’re a blueprint for better data annotation. In this post, we explore how structured rubrics enable scalable, high-quality labeling and evaluation of GenAI systems. Learn how Snorkel and leading labs use rubrics to align human and automated judgment and accelerate trusted AI development.

In this post, we unpack how Snorkel built a realistic benchmark dataset to evaluate AI agents in commercial insurance underwriting. From expert-driven data design to multi-tool reasoning tasks, see how our approach surfaces actionable failure modes that generic benchmarks miss—revealing what it really takes to deploy AI in enterprise workflows.

In this post, we will show you a specialized benchmark dataset we developed with our expert network of Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriters (CPCUs). The benchmark uncovers several model-specific and actionable error modes, including basic tool use errors and a surprising number of insidious hallucinations from one provider. This is part of an ongoing series of benchmarks we are releasing across verticals…

Announcing two new products on our AI Data Development Platform that together create a complete solution for enterprises to specialize AI systems with expert data at scale.

Discover how enterprises can leverage LLM-as-Judge systems to evaluate generative AI outputs at scale, improve model alignment, reduce costs, and tackle challenges like bias and interpretability.

It’s critical enterprises can trust and rely on GenAI evaluation results, and for that, SME-in-the-loop workflows are needed. In my first blog post on enterprise GenAI evaluation, I discussed the importance of specialized evaluators as a scalable proxy for SMEs. It simply isn’t practical to task SMEs with performing manual evaluations – it can take weeks if not longer, unnecessarily…

We’re taking a look at the research paper, LLMs can easily learn to reason from demonstration (Li et al., 2025), in this week’s community research spotlight. It focuses on how the structure of reasoning traces impacts distillation from models such as DeepSeek R1. What’s the big idea regarding LLM reasoning distillation? The reasoning capabilities of powerful models such as DeepSeek…
