Promptfoo

Promptfoo is a specialized library developed for the purpose of testing and enhancing prompts utilized in Language Model Mathematics (LLM). It provides instruments for assessing the quality of prompts and the outputs generated by models, thereby empowering users to enhance performance and attain superior results.

Features of Promptfoo:

• Development of Test Cases: Facilitates the generation of test cases through the utilization of representative samples of user inputs, thereby diminishing subjectivity in the process of prompt fine-tuning.
• Evaluation Metrics: Offers the flexibility to utilize pre-existing metrics or to establish custom metrics tailored to align with specific objectives.
• Comparison of Prompts and Models: Enables simultaneous evaluations of prompts and model outputs to enhance selection efficiency and facilitate improvements.
• Compatibility with Integration: Effortlessly assimilates into pre-existing testing or continuous integration (CI) workflows.
• Web Viewer and Command-Line Interface: Provides both a web-based viewer and a command-line interface to accommodate a variety of user preferences.
• Demonstrated Reliability: Endorsed by large language model (LLM) applications, which boast a significant user base exceeding 10 million, thereby attesting to its dependability.

Positives:
