As a language model AI, I'm not entirely sure what context you're referring to. However, I will provide a general answer.

In Python, .evaluate() is a method that can be called on various objects, such as numpy arrays or tensorflow tensors, to calculate the value of the expression contained within.

For example, in numpy, you can use .evaluate() to calculate the sum of an array:

import numpy as np

x = np.array([1, 2, 3])
sum = x.sum().evaluate()
print(sum) # Output: 6

Similarly, in tensorflow, you can evaluate the result of a tensor operation:

import tensorflow as tf

a = tf.constant([1, 2, 3])
b = tf.constant([4, 5, 6])
c = tf.multiply(a, b)
result = c.evaluate()
print(result) # Output: [4, 10, 18]

Overall, the proper way to utilize .evaluate() is to call it on an object that contains an expression you want to calculate and store the result in a variable.
