LLM evaluation for WordPress AI agents, beyond vibe checks

Vibe checks do not scale. Here is how to score a WordPress AI agent on five measurable dimensions, accuracy, reliability, latency, cost, and business impact, using golden datasets and the LLM-as-a-judge pattern to move from fragile demos to production.

The Best Supervised Fine-Tuning Strategy for LLM Personas

If you want a model to actually be a character, you can’t rely on instructions alone. Discover why first-person statements are the best supervised fine-tuning strategy for injecting deep personas into LLMs. Learn how this approach outperforms chat demonstrations and factual documents in creating robust, generalized AI identities for custom applications.
