OpenAI Evals API & Dashboard
OpenAIManaged evaluation product inside the OpenAI Platform, Evals API plus a Dashboard UI that lets developers define eval datasets, run them against any OpenAI model, grade with custom or built-in graders, and track regressions across versions. Picked by teams already on OpenAI who want the 'measure → improve → ship' loop without standing up infra. Pricing rolls into standard OpenAI API token usage.
Hosted, proprietary evaluation product on the OpenAI platform (API + web dashboard), distinct from the open source openai/evals repo. Lets developers define grading criteria, upload JSONL test sets, run against Chat Completions/Responses APIs, and inspect pass/fail + cost metrics. BEING SUNSET: dashboard read-only 31 Oct 2026, full shutdown 30 Nov 2026 (OpenAI recommends Datasets as replacement). Confirmed live June 2026 via OpenAI developer docs.

no usage/customer figures; product on sunset path
Capability
2 medium confidenceConvenient managed eval surface for OpenAI-model users, but narrow (single-provider, no benchmark library) and on a deprecation path, not a frontier harness.
