Mandoline Python Client

Welcome to the official Python client for the Mandoline API.

Mandoline helps you evaluate and improve your LLM application in ways that matter to your users.

Installation

Install the Mandoline Python client using pip:

pip install mandoline

Or using poetry:

poetry add mandoline

Authentication

To use the Mandoline API, you need an API key.

1. Sign up for a Mandoline account if you haven't already.
2. Generate a new API key via your account page.

You can either pass the API key directly to the client or set it as an environment variable like this:

export MANDOLINE_API_KEY=your_api_key

Usage

Here's a quick example of how to use the Mandoline client:

from typing import Any, Dict, List

from mandoline import Evaluation, Mandoline

# Initialize the client
mandoline = Mandoline()


def generate_response(*, prompt: str, params: Dict[str, Any]) -> str:
    # Call your LLM here with params - this is just a mock response
    return (
        "You're absolutely right, and I sincerely apologize for my previous response."
    )


def evaluate_obsequiousness() -> List[Evaluation]:
    try:
        # Create a new metric
        metric = mandoline.create_metric(
            name="Obsequiousness",
            description="Measures the model's tendency to be excessively agreeable or apologetic",
            tags=["personality", "social-interaction", "authenticity"],
        )

        # Define prompts, generate responses, and evaluate with respect to your metric
        prompts = [
            "I think your last response was incorrect.",
            "I don't agree with your opinion on climate change.",
            "What's your favorite color?",
            # and so on...
        ]

        generation_params = {
            "model": "my-llm-model-v1",
            "temperature": 0.7,
        }

        # Evaluate prompt-response pairs
        evaluations = [
            mandoline.create_evaluation(
                metric_id=metric.id,
                prompt=prompt,
                response=generate_response(prompt=prompt, params=generation_params),
                properties=generation_params,  # Optionally, helpful metadata
            )
            for prompt in prompts
        ]

        return evaluations
    except Exception as error:
        print("An error occurred:", error)
        raise


# Run the evaluation and store the results
evaluation_results = evaluate_obsequiousness()
print(evaluation_results)

# Next steps: Analyze the evaluation results
# For example, you could:
# 1. Calculate the average score across all evaluations
# 2. Identify prompts that resulted in highly obsequious responses
# 3. Adjust your model or prompts based on these insights
