FlexEval is a tool for designing custom metrics, completion functions, and LLM-graded rubrics for evaluating the behavior of LLM-powered systems.

Documentation: https://digitalharborfoundation.github.io/FlexEval

Additional details about FlexEval can be found in our paper at the Educational Data Mining 2024 conference.

Usage

Basic usage:

import flexeval
from flexeval.schema import Eval, EvalRun, FileDataSource, Metrics, FunctionItem, Config

data_sources = [FileDataSource(path="vignettes/conversations.jsonl")]
eval = Eval(metrics=Metrics(function=[FunctionItem(name="flesch_reading_ease")]))
config = Config(clear_tables=True)
eval_run = EvalRun(
    data_sources=data_sources,
    database_path="eval_results.db",
    eval=eval,
    config=config,
)
flexeval.run(eval_run)

This example computes Flesch reading ease for every turn in a list of conversations provided in JSONL format. The metric values are stored in an SQLite database called eval_results.db.

See additional usage examples in the vignettes.

Installation

FlexEval is on PyPI as python-flexeval. See the Installation section in the Getting Started guide.

Using pip:

pip install python-flexeval

Basic functionality

FlexEval is designed to be "batteries included" for many basic use cases. It supports the following out-of-the-box:

  • scoring historical conversations - useful for monitoring live systems.
  • scoring LLMs:
    • locally hosted and served via an endpoint using something like LM Studio
    • LLMs accessible by a REST endpoint and accessible via a network call
    • any OpenAI LLM
  • a set of useful rubrics
  • a set of useful Python functions

Evaluation results are saved in an SQLite database. See the Metric Analysis vignette for a sample analysis demonstrating the structure and utility of the data saved by FlexEval.
