Just learned about these tools for use creating better prompts

> **[I'm sorry, but those are vanity evals](https://hex.tech/blog/im-sorry-but-those-are-vanity-evals/)**

> Using GPT-4.1 as a case study of our framework for impactful LLM evaluation

Maybe someday in the future they could be created and incorporated for those creating prompts with Discourse. 🙂

**Funnel** : decomposes each [eval](https://github.com/openai/evals?tab=readme-ov-file#openai-evals) from a binary outcome of pass/fail into a series of cascading steps, each with its own pass/fail criteria.

**Flux** : Flux is our quantitative measure of movement through the funnel. We look at flux both in aggregate, to quantify the net outcome of a treatment on our funnel, and broken out by stage, to see how evals are transitioning from stage to stage.

**Orbit** : The orbit chart visualizes individual evals as they move through “orbits” representing the funnel, with earlier stages closer to the center. It’s an extremely information-dense view of an experimental result.

**Funnel**

**Flux**

 ![The heatmap displays evaluation counts across five stages, with stage 3 (Correct Data) having the highest evaluations of 33. (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/8/3/a/83a1b4ba085b64eda24b6d1d194d31d8c5ea52eb.png)

**Orbit**

 ![The image is a circular diagram composed of intersecting lines and dots in red, green, and grey, arranged in a segmented pattern radiating outward from the center. (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/0/2/9/029315f977ca0ca310de4dda5581018df1fb2e76.png)
