Promptfoo: LLM evals & red teaming

Promptfoo is now part of OpenAI. Promptfoo remains open source and MIT licensed. Read the company update.

Quick Start

npm install -g promptfoo
promptfoo init --example getting-started

Also available via brew install promptfoo and pip install promptfoo. Or use npx promptfoo@latest to run any command without installing.

Most LLM providers require an API key. Set yours as an environment variable:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-abc123

Run an eval and view results:

cd getting-started
promptfoo eval
promptfoo view

See Getting Started (evals) or Red Teaming (vulnerability scanning) for more!
