Engineering notes from OpenSkye Labs on AI systems, product delivery, platform engineering, reliability, and production lessons.

What trustworthy third-party AI evaluations should actually show — If a third-party evaluation of an AI system does not explain its harness, budget, and validity checks, the top-line result tells you less than it seems.
