The README presents Ragas as a toolkit for evaluating and optimizing LLM applications with objective metrics and test data generation.

Source: https://github.com/explodinggradients/ragas

What it supplies: The README presents Ragas as a toolkit for evaluating and optimizing LLM applications with objective metrics and test data generation.

Useful for: - Score LLM application outputs with pre-built or custom metrics.
- Generate test datasets for scenarios you have no data for.
- Start a RAG evaluation project from a template.

First action: - Install with pip install ragas.
- Run ragas quickstart rag_eval, optionally with -o to pick the output folder.
- Adapt the README's DiscreteMetric example to your own prompt and allowed values.

Prerequisites and limits: The README gives no Python version. Its example uses the OpenAI client, so that example needs an OpenAI account and key.

- Only the rag_eval template is available; the others are listed as coming soon.
- The README example calls a hosted OpenAI model, which is not local or free.
- Metric details are in linked documentation that was not read.

Source-documented: a badge names the Apache-2.0 licence. Using the example's hosted model brings that provider's terms and costs.

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, metric list and code were not read. No install or run was made.
