agenta VS ChainForge

Agenta is an end-to-end LLMOps platform. It provides tools for prompt engineering and management, evaluation, human annotation, and deployment.

I am biased, but I would use a platform and not roll your own solution. You will tend to underestimate the depth of capabilities needed for an eval framework.

Now for solutions, shameless plug here, we are building an open-source platform for experimenting and evaluating complex LLM apps (https://github.com/agenta-ai/agenta). We offer automatic evaluators as well as human annotation capabilities. Currently, we only provide testing before deployment, but we have plans to include post-production evaluations as well.

Other tools I would look at in the space are promptfoo (also open-source, more dev oriented), humanloop (one of the most feature complete tools in the space, enterprise oriented), however more enterprise oriented / costly) and vellum (YC company, more focused towards product teams)

I'd add ours too, although we're trying to be an end-to-end one-stop platform.

Great project! We're building an open-source platform for building robust LLM apps (https://github.com/Agenta-AI/agenta), we'd love to integrate your library into our evaluation!

This seems like a sheets implementation of something like ChainForge (https://github.com/ianarawjo/ChainForge). Curious that Anthropic is entering the LLMOps tooling space ---this definitely comes as a surprise to me, as both OpenAI and HuggingFace seem to avoid building prompt engineering tooling themselves. Is this a business strategy of Anthropic's? An experiment? Regardless, it's very cool to see a company like them throw their hat into the LLMOps space beyond being a model provider. Interested to see what comes next.

ChainForge has similar functionality for comparing : https://github.com/ianarawjo/ChainForge

LocalAI creates a GPT-compatible HTTP API for local LLMs: https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI

Is it necessary to have an HTTP API for each model in a comparative study?

I think you should probably mention that its source is available! [0]

I don't personally have a need for this right now, but I can really see the use for the parameterised queries, as well as comparisons across models.

Thanks for your efforts!

No problem! I guess I will make a plug myself --we've been working on a similar 'prompt engineering', ChainForge (https://github.com/ianarawjo/ChainForge). It's targeted towards slightly different users and use cases than promptfoo --probably more geared towards early-stage, 'quick-and-dirty' prompting explorations of differences between prompts and models for less experience programmers, versus the kind of continuious benchmarking and verification testing that promptfoo offers.

I particularly like promptfoo's support for CI, which I haven't seen anywhere else, and is very important for developers pushing prompts into production (esp since OpenAI keeps updating their models every few months...).
