ragas VS onnxruntime

congrats on launching! i think my continuing struggle with looking at Ragas as a company rather than an oss library is that the core of it is like 8 metrics (https://github.com/explodinggradients/ragas/tree/main/src/ra...) that are each 1-200 LOC. i can inline that easily in my app and retain full control, or model that in langchain or haystack or whatever.

why is Ragas a library and a company, rather than an overall "standard" or philosophy (eg like Heroku's 12 Factor Apps) that could maybe be more robust?

(just giving an opp to pitch some underappreciated benefits of using this library)

Also, at some point you'll need to get serious about evaluation (trust me, you will). You may be interested in https://github.com/explodinggradients/ragas

The problem becomes worse if you want to inspect outputs from not just one, but several different queries. Luckily, there are several free open source packages such as ragas and DeepEval that can help evaluate your chatbot so you don't have to manually do it 😌

We have build RAGAS framework for this https://github.com/explodinggradients/ragas

Hi u/thecuteturtle, I am building open-source projects for evaluating LLM-based applications. Check it out https://github.com/explodinggradients/ragas and if you like to collaborate let me know :)

ONNX Runtime: ONNX Runtime: cross-platform, high performance ML inferencing and training accelerator

Embedding generation uses the ONNX runtime under the hood. This is a cross-platform inferencing library that supports multiple execution providers from CPU to specialized GPUs.

tfjs is dead, looking at the commit history. The standard now is to convert PyTorch to onnx, then use onnxruntime (https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/tree/main/js/web) to run the model on the browsdr.

- slang[2] has the potential, but the meta programming part is not as strong as C++, existing libraries cannot be used.

The above conclusion is drawn from my work https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/tree/dev/opencl, purely nightmare to work with thoes drivers and jit compilers. Hopefully Vcc can take compute shader more seriously.

I did. It depends what you want, for an overview of how ONNX Runtime works then Microsoft have a bunch of things on https://onnxruntime.ai, but the Java content is a bit lacking on there as I've not had time to write much. Eventually I'll probably write something similar to the C# SD tutorial they have on there but for the Java API.

For writing ONNX models from Java we added an ONNX export system to Tribuo in 2022 which can be used by anything on the JVM to export ONNX models in an easier way than writing a protobuf directly. Tribuo doesn't have full coverage of the ONNX spec, but we're happy to accept PRs to expand it, otherwise it'll fill out as we need it.

What about models besides GPT? Most of the popular vector encoding models aren't using this architecture.

If you really didn't want PyTorch/Transformers, you could consider exporting your models to ONNX (https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime).
