Evaluate existing experiment runs.

Parameters:

  • experiment (Union[str, uuid.UUID]) – The identifier of the experiment to evaluate.

  • data (DATA_T) – The data to use for evaluation.

  • evaluators (Optional[Sequence[EVALUATOR_T]]) – Optional sequence of evaluators to use for individual run evaluation.

  • summary_evaluators (Optional[Sequence[SUMMARY_EVALUATOR_T]]) – Optional sequence of evaluators to apply over the entire dataset.

  • metadata (Optional[dict]) – Optional metadata to include in the evaluation results.

  • max_concurrency (int | None) – The maximum number of concurrent evaluations to run. If None then no limit is set. If 0 then no concurrency. Defaults to 0.

  • client (Optional[langsmith.Client]) – Optional Langsmith client to use for evaluation.

  • load_nested (bool) – Whether to load all child runs for the experiment. Default is to only load the top-level root runs.

  • blocking (bool) – Whether to block until evaluation is complete.

Returns:

The evaluation results.

Return type:

ExperimentResults

Environment:
  • LANGSMITH_TEST_CACHE: If set, API calls will be cached to disk to save time and

    cost during testing. Recommended to commit the cache files to your repository for faster CI/CD runs. Requires the ‘langsmith[vcr]’ package to be installed.

Examples

>>> from langsmith.evaluation import evaluate, evaluate_existing
>>> dataset_name = "Evaluate Examples"
>>> def predict(inputs: dict) -> dict:
...     # This can be any function or just an API call to your app.
...     return {"output": "Yes"}
>>> # First run inference on the dataset
... results = evaluate(
...     predict,
...     data=dataset_name,
