Tensor One Evals is our comprehensive evaluation framework designed for benchmarking agents, models, and chain-based systems in realistic, failure-prone environments. Unlike traditional evaluation methods that focus solely on output correctness, Tensor One Evals provides multi-dimensional assessment across critical performance vectors. Our framework emphasizes:
  • Robustness: Performance under adverse conditions and edge cases
  • Reasoning Depth: Quality and coherence of logical processes
  • Latency: Response time and computational efficiency
  • System Resilience: Behavior under stress and failure scenarios
