# Agent eval judging agent live

## Overview

The deterministic sibling example proves the mechanics with `FakeAgentDriver` and no
credentials. This one wires the same target/judge separation to real, independently
configured model providers - resolved from environment variables at runtime, never hardcoded.
It needs API keys for both providers and is skipped (not failed) when they are absent, so it
stays out of the way of the keyless default path.

## Example

// configured default model (see `packages/polyglot/resources/config/llm/presets`),
// and an optional `*_MODEL` override, when set, still names no specific model in
// this file. This is what "documented defaults resolved at runtime" means: the
