Meet Ragas AI + Stealth AI Startup + Some more AI startups mentions...

Dear Reader,

New AI applications and capabilities are appearing at a dizzying rate, signaling an era of explosive growth for the industry. Artificial intelligence (AI) that deals with large language models (LLMs) can improve how humans engage with computers. The evaluation and testing of LLMs, however, is still quite difficult. Conventional approaches to assessing LLMs frequently depend on subjective human judgment or oversimplified criteria that must include the entire spectrum of an LLM's capabilities. These techniques are only sometimes the most efficient, and they can cost a pretty penny. Furthermore, they frequently need to offer information regarding the LLM's soundness, fairness, or other crucial features. 

Meet Ragas, a cool startup that is building an open-source LLM evaluation and testing infrastructure that is undergoing some serious coolness. Their objective is to provide an approach to testing and assessing LLMs that is all-inclusive, efficient, and easy to use. 

Ragas is a tool for assessing RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) systems. RAG is shorthand for a subset of LLM applications that enhance the LLM's environment with external data. You can construct these pipelines with the help of current tools and frameworks, but measuring and assessing their efficacy can be challenging. It is at this point that Ragas (RAG Assessment) becomes useful. To gain insight into your RAG pipeline, Ragas equips you with tools based on recent research for assessing text generated by LLM. You can ensure performance with continuous inspections by integrating Ragas with your CI/CD.

Ragas' Advantages 

• Ragas has many advantages over more conventional forms of assessment, such as: 

• Completeness: Ragas offers a variety of techniques that can be used to assess various LLM capabilities. 

• Ragas can automate much of the work involved in LLM evaluation, which means you can save time and energy and use that for other things. 

• Ragas is made to be user-friendly, so even people who aren't familiar with LLMs may use it easily.
