Dependencies:
- Foundation model access (any LLM provider supported by LiteLLM)
- guardrails-ai>=0.4.0

Installation

$ guardrails hub install hub://guardrails/qa_relevance_llm_eval

Usage Examples

Validating string output via Python

In this example, we apply the validator to a string output generated by an LLM.

# Import Guard and Validator
from guardrails import Guard
from guardrails.hub import QARelevanceLLMEval

# Setup Guard
guard = Guard().use(
    QARelevanceLLMEval,
    llm_callable="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    on_fail="exception",
)

res = guard.validate(
    "Jefferson City is the capital of Missouri.",
    metadata={
        "original_prompt": "Tell me about any capital city in the U.S.",
        "pass_on_invalid": True,
    },
)  # Validation passes
try:
    res = guard.validate(
        """
        Inception is a 2010 science fiction action film written and directed by Christopher Nolan. 
        It stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a professional thief who steals information 
        by infiltrating the subconscious of his targets.
        """,
        metadata={
            "original_prompt": """IKEA is a Swedish company, founded in 1943 by Ingvar Kamprad, 
            that designs and sells ready-to-assemble furniture, kitchen appliances and home accessories.
            """,
        },
    )  # Validation fails
except Exception as e:
    print(e)

Output:

Validation failed for field with errors: The LLM says 'No'. The validation failed.

API Reference

__init__(self, llm_callable="gpt-3.5-turbo", on_fail="noop")

Initializes a new instance of the Validator class.

Parameters:

llm_callable (str): Model name to make the LiteLLM call. Defaults to gpt-3.5-turbo.
on_fail (str, Callable): The policy to enact when a validator fails. If str, must be one of reask, fix, filter, refrain, noop, exception or fix_reask. Otherwise, must be a function that is called when the validator fails.

validate(self, value, metadata={}) -> ValidationResult

Validates the given value using the rules defined in this validator, relying on the metadata provided to customize the validation process. This method is automatically invoked by guard.parse(...), ensuring the validation logic is applied to the input data.

Note:

This method should not be called directly by the user. Instead, invoke guard.parse(...) where this method will be called internally for each associated Validator.
When invoking guard.parse(...), ensure to pass the appropriate metadata dictionary that includes keys and values required by this validator. If guard is associated with multiple validators, combine all necessary metadata into a single dictionary.

Parameters:

value (Any): The input value to validate.
metadata (dict): A dictionary containing metadata required for validation. - Keys and values must match the expectations of this validator.

Key Type Description Required Default
original_prompt str The original prompt the LLM is supposedly responding to. Yes None
