The README presents Inspect as a framework for large language model evaluations created by the UK AI Security Institute.

Source: https://github.com/ukgovernmentbeis/inspect_ai

What it supplies: The README presents Inspect as a framework for large language model evaluations created by the UK AI Security Institute.

Useful for: - Build evaluations using built-in components for prompts, tools, multi-turn dialog and model graded scoring.
- Run any of more than 200 pre-built evaluations on a model.
- Extend it with new elicitation and scoring techniques from other Python packages.

First action: - Start from the documentation site named in the README.
- For development, install uv 0.11.8 or later, clone the repository and run uv sync.
- Check changes with make check and make test.

Prerequisites and limits: The README gives uv 0.11.8 or later for development setup and notes that dependencies are recorded in uv.lock and pyproject.toml. Frontend work needs a git submodule setup; Python-only contributors can skip it.

- The README is brief and mostly covers contributor setup; usage is in the documentation, which was not read.
- The list of pre-built evaluations was not read.

The README text read states no licence, so check the repository licence file before use. Models and hosted APIs you evaluate have their own terms.

Written from the README text only. Statements are as the README gives them; nothing was installed or run.
Based on README text only; the documentation site, evaluation list, licence file and code were not read. No install or run was made.
