fiddler-auditor VS ChainForge

This is really cool!

I've been using this auditor tool that some friends at Fiddler created: https://github.com/fiddler-labs/fiddler-auditor

They went with a langchain interface for custom Evals which I really like. I am curious to hear if anyone has tried both of these. What's been your key take away for these?

I have only found a handful of tools that work well. One of my favorite ones is the LLM Auditor by the data science team at Fiddler. Essentially multiplies your ability to run audits on multiple types of models and generate robustness reports.

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...).
