LLMs zur Bewertung von LLM-Ausgaben einsetzen

Warum ein LLM als Bewertungsinstanz verwenden?

Warum LLM-Bewertungsinstanzen funktionieren

Eine einfache LLM-Bewertungsinstanz

import anthropic
import json

client = anthropic.Anthropic(api_key='sk-ant-...')

def simple_llm_judge(question, response, criterion):
    judge_prompt = (
        f'Rate the following response on {criterion} from 1 to 5.\n\n'
        f'Question: {question}\n'
        f'Response: {response}\n\n'
        f'Return JSON: {{"score": <1-5>, "reason": "<one sentence>"}}'
    )
    r = client.messages.create(
        model='claude-opus-4-5',
        max_tokens=100,
        messages=[{'role': 'user', 'content': judge_prompt}]
    )
    try:
        result = json.loads(r.content[0].text)
        return result['score'], result['reason']
    except Exception:
        return None, r.content[0].text

score, reason = simple_llm_judge(
    question='What is recursion in programming?',
    response='Recursion is when a function calls itself.',
    criterion='clarity and completeness'
)
print(f'Score: {score}/5 — {reason}')

Wo LLM-Bewertungsinstanzen versagen: Positionsverzerrung

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(api_key='sk-ant-...')

    def ask_judge(first, second, order):
        prompt = (
            f'Question: {question}\n\n'
            f'Response 1: {first}\n\n'
            f'Response 2: {second}\n\n'
            f'Which response is better? Reply with 1 or 2.'
        )
        r = client.messages.create(
            model='claude-opus-4-5',
            max_tokens=10,
            messages=[{'role': 'user', 'content': prompt}]
        )
        choice = r.content[0].text.strip()
        # Map back to original labels
        if order == 'AB':
            return 'A' if choice == '1' else 'B'
        else:  # BA
            return 'B' if choice == '1' else 'A'

    result_ab = ask_judge(response_a, response_b, 'AB')
    result_ba = ask_judge(response_b, response_a, 'BA')

    print(f'Order A-B: Judge picked {result_ab}')
    print(f'Order B-A: Judge picked {result_ba}')
    if result_ab != result_ba:
        print('Position bias detected: different results!')

    return result_ab, result_ba

Wo LLM-Bewertungsinstanzen versagen: Verzerrung zugunsten ausführlicher Antworten
