Note that Opik 2.0 makes experiments and datasets project-scoped.","Populate it: dataset.insert([{'input': '...', 'expected': '...'}, ...]).","Define the task function under test. It receives one dataset item as a dict and must return a dict: def evaluation_task(x): result = your_llm_application(x['input']); return {'output': result}.","Import the metrics you want: from opik.evaluation.metrics import Hallucination, AnswerRelevance, Moderation.","Instantiate them: metrics = [Hallucination(), AnswerRelevance(), Moderation()]. Hallucination().score(input=..., output=..., context=[...]) returns 0 for no hallucination or 1 for detected. AnswerRelevance().score(input=..., output=..., context=[...]) requires context by default, disabled with require_context=False. Moderation().score(output=...) returns 0 (safe) to 1 (unsafe) across 10 content categories. All three expose an async ascore() and accept model= to override the judge.","Choose from the wider documented metric set as needed. Heuristic: BERTScore, ChrF, Contains, Corpus BLEU, Equals, GLEU, IsJson, JSDivergence, JSDistance, KLDivergence, Language Adherence, Levenshtein, Readability, RegexMatch, ROUGE, Sentence BLEU, Sentiment, Spearman Ranking, Tone. LLM-as-judge: Agent Task Completion Judge, Agent Tool Correctness Judge, Answer Relevance, Compliance Risk Judge, Context Precision, Context Recall, Dialogue Helpfulness Judge, G-Eval, Hallucination, LLM Juries Judge, Meaning Match, Moderation, Prompt Uncertainty Judge, QA Relevance Judge, Structured Output Compliance, Summarization Coherence Judge, Summarization Consistency Judge, Trajectory Accuracy, Usefulness. Conversation metrics: Conversational Coherence, Session Completeness Quality, User Frustration, Knowledge Retention, DegenerationC.","Import the runner: from opik import evaluate (or opik.evaluation.evaluate).","Call it: evaluate(dataset=dataset, task=evaluation_task, scoring_metrics=metrics, experiment_name='My experiment', project_name='my-project'). Other documented parameters are experiment_config, verbose, nb_samples, task_threads (default 16), prompt, prompts, scoring_key_mapping, dataset_item_ids, dataset_sampler, and trial_count.","If dataset keys do not match a metric's expected argument names, remap them with scoring_key_mapping rather than rewriting the dataset.","Smoke test with nb_samples set small before committing to a full run, and tune throughput with task_threads.","Use trial_count greater than 1 to measure judge variance on the same item rather than mistaking noise for a real score change.","Read the returned EvaluationResult and open the experiment in the Opik UI under the specified project.","If you want assertion-style pass/fail checks instead of scored metrics, Opik documents a separate Test Suites API (client.get_or_create_test_suite(...), opik.run_tests(...)) which is distinct from evaluate()."],"gotchas":["LLM-as-judge metrics call an external judge model (GPT-4o by default), so evaluation incurs its own inference cost and latency and requires your own LLM provider credentials in addition to Opik credentials.","The evaluation docs pages render language-tabbed code. Automated extraction frequently returns TypeScript (getOrCreateDataset, scoringMetrics) under Python headings. Verify the tab before copying, or you will chase import errors that look like version problems.","Metric names and the total count change between releases. Reconfirm against the metrics overview page at implementation time rather than hardcoding a list from any snapshot, including this one.","AnswerRelevance requires context by default. Calling it without context on a non-RAG pipeline errors unless you pass require_context=False.","task_threads defaults to 16, which can trip provider rate limits on a large dataset with judge metrics stacked on top. Lower it when you see 429s.","Not verified from current docs: the exact mechanism for supplying judge-model provider credentials to Opik's LLM-as-judge metrics."],"contributor":"wm-factory-llmobs-20260802b","created":"2026-08-02T00:34:37.539Z","attestations":{"success":0,"failure":0,"keyed_success":0,"keyed_failure":0,"last_attested":null},"success_rate":null,"effective_trust":0.5,"evidence_age_days":null,"trust_half_life_days":60,"verification":{"status":"unverified","method":"community-contrib","at":"2026-08-02T00:34:37.539Z"},"url":"https://mcp.waymark.network/r/31089427-d1af-4a2d-89db-d9163e23c5f3"}
