Python SDK for Laminar

Project description

Laminar Python

Python SDK for Laminar.

Laminar is an open-source platform for engineering LLM products. Trace, evaluate, annotate, and analyze LLM data. Bring LLM applications to production with confidence.

Quickstart

First, install the package, specifying the instrumentations you want to use.

For example, to install the package with OpenAI and Anthropic instrumentations:

pip install 'lmnr[anthropic,openai]'

To install all possible instrumentations, use the following command:

pip install 'lmnr[all]'

Initialize Laminar in your code:

from lmnr import Laminar

Laminar.initialize(project_api_key="<PROJECT_API_KEY>")

Note that you need to only initialize Laminar once in your application.

Instrumentation

Manual instrumentation

To instrument any function in your code, we provide a simple @observe() decorator. This can be useful if you want to trace a request handler or a function which combines multiple LLM calls.

import os
from openai import OpenAI
from lmnr import Laminar

Laminar.initialize(project_api_key=os.environ["LMNR_PROJECT_API_KEY"])

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"])

def poem_writer(topic: str):
    prompt = f"write a poem about {topic}"
    messages = [
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": prompt},
    ]

    # OpenAI calls are still automatically instrumented
    response = client.chat.completions.create(
        model="gpt-4o",
        messages=messages,
    )
    poem = response.choices[0].message.content

    return poem

@observe()
def generate_poems():
    poem1 = poem_writer(topic="laminar flow")
    poem2 = poem_writer(topic="turbulence")
    poems = f"{poem1}\n\n---\n\n{poem2}"
    return poems

Also, you can use Laminar.start_as_current_span if you want to record a chunk of your code using with statement.

def handle_user_request(topic: str):
    with Laminar.start_as_current_span(name="poem_writer", input=topic):
        poem = poem_writer(topic=topic)
        # Use set_span_output to record the output of the span
        Laminar.set_span_output(poem)

Automatic instrumentation

Laminar allows you to automatically instrument majority of the most popular LLM, Vector DB, database, requests, and other libraries.

If you want to automatically instrument a default set of libraries, then simply do NOT pass instruments argument to .initialize(). See the full list of available instrumentations in the enum.

If you want to automatically instrument only specific LLM, Vector DB, or other calls with OpenTelemetry-compatible instrumentation, then pass the appropriate instruments to .initialize(). For example, if you want to only instrument OpenAI and Anthropic, then do the following:

from lmnr import Laminar, Instruments

Laminar.initialize(project_api_key=os.environ["LMNR_PROJECT_API_KEY"], instruments={Instruments.OPENAI, Instruments.ANTHROPIC})

If you want to fully disable any kind of autoinstrumentation, pass an empty set as instruments=set() to .initialize().

Autoinstrumentations are provided by Traceloop's OpenLLMetry.

Evaluations

Quickstart

Install the package:

pip install lmnr

Create a file named my_first_eval.py with the following code:

from lmnr import evaluate

def write_poem(data):
    return f"This is a good poem about {data['topic']}"

def contains_poem(output, target):
    return 1 if output in target['poem'] else 0

# Evaluation data
data = [
    {"data": {"topic": "flowers"}, "target": {"poem": "This is a good poem about flowers"}},
    {"data": {"topic": "cars"}, "target": {"poem": "I like cars"}},
]

evaluate(
    data=data,
    executor=write_poem,
    evaluators={
        "containsPoem": contains_poem
    },
    group_id="my_first_feature"
)

Run the following commands:

export LMNR_PROJECT_API_KEY=<YOUR_PROJECT_API_KEY>  # get from Laminar project settings
lmnr eval my_first_eval.py  # run in the virtual environment where lmnr is installed

Visit the URL printed in the console to see the results.

Overview

Bring rigor to the development of your LLM applications with evaluations.

You can run evaluations locally by providing executor (part of the logic used in your application) and evaluators (numeric scoring functions) to evaluate function.

evaluate takes in the following parameters:

  • data – an array of EvaluationDatapoint objects, where each EvaluationDatapoint has two keys: target and data, each containing a key-value object. Alternatively, you can pass in dictionaries, and we will instantiate EvaluationDatapoints with pydantic if possible
  • executor – the logic you want to evaluate. This function must take data as the first argument, and produce any output. It can be both a function or an async function.
  • evaluators – Dictionary which maps evaluator names to evaluators. Functions that take output of executor as the first argument, target as the second argument and produce a numeric scores. Each function can produce either a single number or dict[str, int|float] of scores. Each evaluator can be both a function or an async function.
  • name – optional name for the evaluation. Automatically generated if not provided.
  • group_id – optional group name for the evaluation. Evaluations within the same group can be compared visually side-by-side

* If you already have the outputs of executors you want to evaluate, you can specify the executor as an identity function, that takes in data and returns only needed value(s) from it.

Read the docs to learn more about evaluations.

Laminar pipelines as prompt chain managers

You can create Laminar pipelines in the UI and manage chains of LLM calls there.

After you are ready to use your pipeline in your code, deploy it in Laminar by selecting the target version for the pipeline.

Once your pipeline target is set, you can call it from Python in just a few lines.

Example use:

from lmnr import Laminar

Laminar.initialize('<YOUR_PROJECT_API_KEY>', instruments=set())

result = Laminar.run(
    pipeline = 'my_pipeline_name',
    inputs = {'input_node_name': 'some_value'},
    # all environment variables
    env = {'OPENAI_API_KEY': 'sk-some-key'},
)

Resulting in:

>>> result
PipelineRunResponse(
    outputs={'output': {'value': [ChatMessage(role='user', content='hello')]}},
    # useful to locate your trace
    run_id='53b012d5-5759-48a6-a9c5-0011610e3669'
)

Semantic search

You can perform a semantic search on a dataset in Laminar by calling Laminar.semantic_search.

response = Laminar.semantic_search(
    query="Greatest Chinese architectural wonders",
    dataset_id=uuid.UUID("413f8404-724c-4aa4-af16-714d84fd7958"),
)
