ragscore generate docs/
Step 2: Evaluate your RAG system
ragscore evaluate http://localhost:8000/query
That's it. Get accuracy scores and incorrect QA pairs instantly.
============================================================
✅ EXCELLENT: 85/100 correct (85.0%)
Average Score: 4.20/5.0
============================================================
❌ 15 Incorrect Pairs:
1. Q: "What is RAG?" Score: 2/5 - Factually incorrect
2. Q: "How does retrieval work?" Score: 3/5 - Incomplete answer
🚀 Quick Start
Install
pip install ragscore # Core (works with Ollama)
pip install "ragscore[openai]" # + OpenAI support
pip install "ragscore[notebook]" # + Jupyter/Colab support
pip install "ragscore[all]" # + All providers

Option 1: Python API (Notebook-Friendly)
Perfect for Jupyter, Colab, and rapid iteration. Get instant visualizations.
from ragscore import quick_test
1. Audit your RAG in one line
result = quick_test(
endpoint="http://localhost:8000/query", # Your RAG API
docs="docs/", # Your documents
n=10, # Number of test questions
)
1b. Tailored QA — target specific audiences
result = quick_test(
endpoint="http://localhost:8000/query",
docs="docs/",
audience="developers", # Who asks the questions?
purpose="api-integration", # What's the document for?
)
2. See the report
result.plot()
3. Inspect failures
bad_rows = result.df[result.df['score'] < 3]
display(badrows[['question', 'raganswer', 'reason']])
Rich Object API:
result.accuracy- Accuracy scoreresult.df- Pandas DataFrame of all resultsresult.plot()- 3-panel visualization (4-panel withdetailed=True)result.corrections- List of items to fix
Option 2: CLI (Production)
Generate QA Pairs
# Set API key (or use local Ollama - no key needed!)
export OPENAIAPIKEY="sk-..."
Generate from any document
ragscore generate paper.pdf
ragscore generate docs/*.pdf --concurrency 10
Tailored QA generation — target specific audiences
ragscore generate docs/ --audience developers --purpose faq
ragscore generate docs/ --audience customers --purpose "pre-sales"
ragscore generate docs/ --audience "compliance auditors" --purpose "security audit"
Evaluate Your RAG
# Point to your RAG endpoint
ragscore evaluate http://localhost:8000/query
Custom options
ragscore evaluate http://api/ask --model gpt-4o --output results.json
🔬 Detailed Multi-Metric Evaluation
Go beyond a single score. Add detailed=True to get 5 diagnostic dimensions per answer — in the same single LLM call.
result = quick_test(
endpoint=my_rag,
docs="docs/",
n=10,
detailed=True, # ⭐ Enable multi-metric evaluation
)
Inspect per-question metrics
display(result.df[[
"question", "score", "correctness", "completeness",
"relevance", "conciseness", "faithfulness"
]])
Radar chart + 4-panel visualization
result.plot()
==================================================
✅ PASSED: 9/10 correct (90%)
Average Score: 4.3/5.0
Threshold: 70%
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
Correctness: 4.5/5.0
Completeness: 4.2/5.0
Relevance: 4.8/5.0
Conciseness: 4.1/5.0
Faithfulness: 4.6/5.0
==================================================
| Metric | What it measures | Scale | |--------|------------------|-------| | Correctness | Semantic match to golden answer | 5 = fully correct | | Completeness | Covers all key points | 5 = fully covered | | Relevance | Addresses the question asked | 5 = perfectly on-topic | | Conciseness | Focused, no filler | 5 = concise and precise | | Faithfulness | No fabricated claims | 5 = fully faithful |
CLI:
ragscore evaluate http://localhost:8000/query --detailed
🔍 Failure Diagnosis (--diagnose)
When answers fail, --diagnose tells you why — retriever miss, generator hallucination, incomplete answer, or wrong interpretation:
ragscore evaluate http://localhost:8000/query --diagnose
🔍 Failure Diagnosis:
Retriever Miss: 3 (42.9%)
Generator Hallucination: 2 (28.6%)
Incomplete Answer: 1 (14.3%)
Wrong Interpretation: 1 (14.3%)
Uses the support_span already generated with each QA pair to give the judge grounding context. Combine with --detailed for full diagnostics:
ragscore evaluate http://localhost:8000/query --diagnose --detailed -o results.json
| Category | Meaning | |----------|---------| | Retriever Miss | RAG didn't retrieve the chunk containing the evidence | | Generator Hallucination | Retrieved correctly but fabricated information | | Incomplete Answer | Retrieved correctly but answer is partial | | Wrong Interpretation | Retrieved correctly but misunderstood the content |

Ollama Model Recommendations
RAGScore generates complex structured QA pairs (question + answer + rationale + support span) in JSON format. This requires models with strong instruction-following and JSON output capabilities.
| Model | Size | Min RAM | QA Quality | Recommended | |-------|------|---------|------------|-------------| | llama3.1:70b | 40GB | 48GB VRAM | Excellent | GPU server (A100, L40) | | qwen2.5:32b | 18GB | 24GB VRAM | Excellent | GPU server (A10, L20) | | llama3.1:8b | 4.7GB | 8GB VRAM | Good | Best local choice | | qwen2.5:7b | 4.4GB | 8GB VRAM | Good | Good local alternative | | mistral:7b | 4.1GB | 8GB VRAM | Good | Good local alternative | | llama3.2:3b | 2.0GB | 4GB RAM | Fair | CPU-only / testing | | qwen2.5:1.5b | 1.0GB | 2GB RAM | Poor | Not recommended |
Minimum recommended: 8B+ models. Smaller models (1.5B–3B) produce lower quality support spans and may timeout on longer chunks.
Ollama Performance Guide
# Recommended: 8B model with concurrency 2 for local machines
ollama pull llama3.1:8b
ragscore generate docs/ --provider ollama --model llama3.1:8b
GPU server (A10/L20): larger model with higher concurrency
ollama pull qwen2.5:32b
ragscore generate docs/ --provider ollama --model qwen2.5:32b --concurrency 5
Expected performance (28 chunks, 5 QA pairs per chunk):
| Hardware | Model | Time | Concurrency | |----------|-------|------|-------------| | MacBook (CPU) | llama3.2:3b | ~45 min | 2 | | MacBook (CPU) | llama3.1:8b | ~25 min | 2 | | A10 (24GB) | llama3.1:8b | ~3–5 min | 5 | | L20/L40 (48GB) | qwen2.5:32b | ~3–5 min | 5 | | OpenAI API | gpt-4o-mini | ~2 min | 10 |
RAGScore auto-reduces concurrency to 2 for local Ollama to avoid GPU/CPU contention.
🔌 Supported LLMs
| Provider | Setup | Notes | |----------|-------|-------| | Ollama | ollama serve | Local, free, private | | OpenAI | export OPENAIAPIKEY="sk-..." | Best quality | | Anthropic | export ANTHROPICAPIKEY="..." | Long context | | DashScope | export DASHSCOPEAPIKEY="..." | Qwen models | | vLLM | export LLMBASEURL="..." | Production-grade | | Any OpenAI-compatible | export LLMBASEURL="..." | Groq, Together, etc. |

📡 Telemetry
RAGScore collects telemetry only in MCP server mode (ragscore serve). Standard CLI and Python API usage do not send telemetry.
We collect limited anonymous operational metrics to understand feature usage and improve reliability. No document content, prompts, QA text, model outputs, API keys, endpoint URLs, or file paths are collected.
Collected in MCP mode:
- MCP tool invoked
- LLM provider and model name
ragscoreversion, Python version, OS type- Success/failure status
- Random anonymous installation ID
export RAGSCORENOTELEMETRY=1
