## What's New

March 28, 2024

#### Pre-Joined Evals in Arize

Arize now supports LLM assisted evals that have been generated by the Arize Phoenix evals package. Use evals to determine the performance of your LLM application across dimensions such as Hallucination, Toxicity, QA Correctness and more. Evals can also be run on a job and sent to Arize on a regular cadence. [See our docs here](/docs/ax/evaluate/evals-overview) to get started with Evals in Arize, with more releases coming to Evals soon.
