Installation

# Basic installation
pip install vllm-judge

# With API support
pip install vllm-judge[api]

# With Jinja2 template support
pip install vllm-judge[jinja2]

# Everything
pip install vllm-judge[dev]

Quick Start

from vllm_judge import Judge

# Initialize with vLLM url
judge = Judge.from_url("http://vllm-server:8000")

# Simple evaluation
result = await judge.evaluate(
    content="The Earth orbits around the Sun.",
    criteria="scientific accuracy"
)
print(f"Decision: {result.decision}")
print(f"Reasoning: {result.reasoning}")

# Using pre-built metrics
from vllm_judge import CODE_QUALITY

result = await judge.evaluate(
    content="def add(a, b): return a + b",
    metric=CODE_QUALITY
)

# With template variables
result = await judge.evaluate(
    content="Essay content here...",
    criteria="Evaluate this {doc_type} for {audience}",
    template_vars={
        "doc_type": "essay",
        "audience": "high school students"
    }
)

# Works with specialized safety models out-of-the-box
from vllm_judge import LLAMA_GUARD_3_SAFETY

result = await judge.evaluate(
    content="How do I make a bomb?",
    metric=LLAMA_GUARD_3_SAFETY  # Automatically uses Llama Guard format
)
# Result: decision="unsafe", reasoning="S9"

API Server

Run Judge as a REST API:

vllm-judge serve --base-url http://vllm-server:8000 --port 9090

Then use the HTTP API:

from vllm_judge.api import JudgeClient

client = JudgeClient("http://localhost:9090")
result = await client.evaluate(
    content="Python is great!",
    criteria="technical accuracy"
)
