Measuring LLM Systems

pass@k & reliability under sampling

Lesson 3 of 5

Non-deterministic systems need reliability metrics — pass@k measures how often you succeed across repeated samples.

What you'll learn

  • See why single-shot accuracy hides non-determinism
  • Compute pass@k from multiple sampled attempts per case
  • Reason about flaky outputs and when retries actually help
