The inadequacy of offline large language model evaluations: A need to account for personalization in model behavior

Abstract

Standard offline evaluations for language models fail to capture how these models actually behave in practice, where personalization fundamentally alters model behavior. In this work, we provide empirical evidence showcasing this phenomenon by comparing offline evaluations to field evaluations conducted by having 800 real users of ChatGPT and Gemini pose benchmark and other questions to their chat interfaces.
