giskard-hub 1.2.0

The giskard_hub library allows you to interact with the Giskard Hub, a platform that centralizes the validation process of LLM applications, empowering product teams to ensure all functional, business & legal requirements are met, and keeping them in close contact with the development team to avoid delayed deployment timelines.

Giskard Hub Client Library

The Giskard Hub is a platform that centralizes the validation process of LLM applications, empowering product teams to ensure all functional, business & legal requirements are met, and keeping them in close contact with the development team to avoid delayed deployment timelines.

The giskard_hub Python library provides a simple way for developers and data scientists to manage and evaluate LLM applications in their development workflow during the prototyping phase and for continuous integration testing.

Read the quick start guide to get up and running with the giskard_hub library. You will learn how to execute local evaluations from a notebook, script or CLI, and synchronize them to the Giskard Hub platform.

Access the full docs at: https://docs-hub.giskard.ai/

Install the client library

The library is compatible with Python 3.9 to 3.12.

pip install giskard-hub

Create a project and run an evaluation

You can now use the client to interact with the Hub. You will be able to control the Hub programmatically, independently of the UI. Let's start by initializing a client instance:

from giskard_hub import HubClient

hub = HubClient()

You can provide the API key and Hub URL as arguments. Head over to your Giskard Hub instance and click on the user icon in the top right corner. You will find your personal API key, click on the button to copy it.

hub = HubClient(
    api_key="YOUR_GSK_API_KEY",
    hub_url="THE_GSK_HUB_URL",
)

You can now use the hub client to control the LLM Hub! Let's start by creating a fresh project.

Create a project

project = hub.projects.create(
    name="My first project",
    description="This is a test project to get started with the Giskard Hub client library",
)

That's it! You have created a project. You will now see it in the Hub UI project selector.

Tip

If you have an already existing project, you can easily retrieve it. Either use hub.projects.list() to get a list of all projects, or use hub.projects.retrieve("YOUR_PROJECT_ID") to get a specific project.

Import a dataset

Let's now create a dataset and add a conversation example.

# Let's create a dataset
dataset = hub.datasets.create(
    project_id=project.id,
    name="My first dataset",
    description="This is a test dataset",
)

We can now add a conversation example to the dataset. This will be used for the model evaluation.

# Add a conversation example
hub.conversations.create(
    dataset_id=dataset.id,
    messages=[
        dict(role="user", content="What is the capital of France?"),
        dict(role="assistant", content="Paris"),
        dict(role="user", content="What is the capital of Germany?"),
    ],
    demo_output=dict(role="assistant", content="I don't know that!"),
    checks=[
        dict(identifier="correctness", params={"reference": "Berlin"}),
        dict(identifier="conformity", params={"rules": ["The agent should always provide short and concise answers."]}),
    ]
)

These are the attributes you can set for a conversation (the only required attribute is messages):

• messages: A list of messages in the conversation. Each message is a dictionary with the following keys:

  • role: The role of the message, either "user" or "assistant".
  • content: The content of the message.

• demo_output: A demonstration of a (possibly wrong) output from the model. This is just for demonstration purposes.

• checks: A list of checks that the conversation should pass. This is used for evaluation. Each check is a dictionary with the following keys:

  • identifier: The identifier of the check. If it's a built-in check, you will also need to provide the params dictionary. The built-in checks are:
    • correctness: The output of the model should match the reference.
    • conformity: The conversation should follow a set of rules.
    • groundedness: The output of the model should be grounded in the conversation.
    • string_match: The output of the model should contain a specific string (keyword or sentence).
  • params: A dictionary of parameters for built-in checks. The parameters depend on the check type:
    • For the correctness check, the parameter is reference (type: str), which is the expected output.
    • For the conformity check, the parameter is rules (type: list[str]), which is a list of rules that the conversation should follow.
    • For the groundedness check, the parameter is context (type: str), which is the context in which the model should ground its output.
    • For the string_match check, the parameter is keyword (type: str), which is the string that the model's output should contain.

You can add as many conversations as you want to the dataset.

Again, you'll find your newly created dataset in the Hub UI.

Configure a model/agent

Before running our first evaluation, we'll need to set up a model. You'll need an API endpoint ready to serve the model. Then, you can configure the model API in the Hub:

model = hub.models.create(
    project_id=project.id,
    name="My Bot",
    description="A chatbot for demo purposes",
    url="https://my-model-endpoint.example.com/bot_v1",
    supported_languages=["en", "fr"],
    # if your model endpoint needs special headers:
    headers={"X-API-Key": "MY_TOKEN"},
)

We can test that everything is working well by running a chat with the model:

response = model.chat(
    messages=[
        dict(role="user", content="What is the capital of France?"),
        dict(role="assistant", content="Paris"),
        dict(role="user", content="What is the capital of Germany?"),
    ],
)

print(response)

If all is working well, this will return something like

ModelOutput(
    message=ChatMessage(
        role='assistant',
        content='The capital of Germany is Berlin.'
    ),
    metadata={}
)

Run a remote evaluation

We can now launch a remote evaluation of our model!

eval_run = client.evaluate(
    model=model,
    dataset=dataset,
    name="test-run",  # optional
)

The evaluation will run asynchronously on the Hub. To retrieve the results once the run is complete, you can use the following:

# This will block until the evaluation status is "finished"
eval_run.wait_for_completion()

# Print the evaluation metrics
eval_run.print_metrics()

Tip

You can directly pass IDs to the evaluate function, e.g. model=model_id and dataset=dataset_id, without having to retrieve the objects first.
