Welcome to Inspect, a framework for large language model evaluations created by the UK AI Safety Institute.

Inspect provides many built-in components, including facilities for prompt engineering, tool usage, multi-turn dialog, and model graded evaluations. Extensions to Inspect (e.g. to support new elicitation and scoring techniques) can be provided by other Python packages.

To get started with Inspect, please see the documentation at https://inspect.ai-safety-institute.org.uk/.

Optionally install pre-commit hooks via
