Evaluation runner (evaluation-runner) allows GitLab employees to run evaluations on specific GitLab AI features with one click.

• You can run the evaluation on GitLab.com and GitLab-supported self-hosted models.
• To view the AI features that are currently supported, see Evaluation pipelines.

Evaluation runner spins up a new GDK instance on a remote environment, runs an evaluation, and reports the result.

For more details, view the evaluation-runner repository.
