| 1 | +# Evaluating LlamaStack Web Search Groundedness with Llama 4 |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +In this tutorial we will measure the groundedness of response generated by the LlamaStack's web search agent. [LlamaStack](https://llama-stack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) is an open-source framework maintained by meta, that streamlines the development and deployment of large language model-powered applications. The evaluations will be done using the Ragas metrics and using Meta Llama 4 Maverick as the judge. |

| 5 | +## Setup and Running a LlamaStack server |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +This command installs all the dependencies needed for the LlamaStack server with the together inference provider |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +Use the command with conda |
| 10 | +```shell |
| 11 | +!pip install ragas langchain-together uv |
| 12 | +!uv run --with llama-stack llama stack build --template together --image-type conda |
| 13 | +``` |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +Use the command with venv |
| 16 | +```shell |
| 17 | +!pip install ragas langchain-together uv |
| 18 | +!uv run --with llama-stack llama stack build --template together --image-type venv |
| 19 | +``` |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +```python |
| 23 | +import os |
| 24 | +import subprocess |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +def run_llama_stack_server_background(): |
| 28 | + log_file = open("llama_stack_server.log", "w") |
| 29 | + process = subprocess.Popen( |
| 30 | + "uv run --with llama-stack llama stack run together --image-type venv", |
| 31 | + shell=True, |
| 32 | + stdout=log_file, |
| 33 | + stderr=log_file, |
| 34 | + text=True, |
| 35 | + ) |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | + print(f"Starting LlamaStack server with PID: {process.pid}") |
| 38 | + return process |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +def wait_for_server_to_start(): |
| 42 | + import requests |
| 43 | + from requests.exceptions import ConnectionError |
| 44 | + import time |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + url = "http://0.0.0.0:8321/v1/health" |
| 47 | + max_retries = 30 |
| 48 | + retry_interval = 1 |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | + print("Waiting for server to start", end="") |
| 51 | + for _ in range(max_retries): |
| 52 | + try: |
| 53 | + response = requests.get(url) |
| 54 | + if response.status_code == 200: |
| 55 | + print("\nServer is ready!") |
| 56 | + return True |
| 57 | + except ConnectionError: |
| 58 | + print(".", end="", flush=True) |
| 59 | + time.sleep(retry_interval) |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | + print("\nServer failed to start after", max_retries * retry_interval, "seconds") |
| 62 | + return False |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +# use this helper if needed to kill the server |
| 66 | +def kill_llama_stack_server(): |
| 67 | + # Kill any existing llama stack server processes |
| 68 | + os.system( |
| 69 | + "ps aux | grep -v grep | grep llama_stack.distribution.server.server | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9" |
| 70 | + ) |
| 71 | +``` |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +## Starting the LlamaStack Server |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +```python |
| 77 | +server_process = run_llama_stack_server_background() |
| 78 | +assert wait_for_server_to_start() |
| 79 | +``` |
| 80 | +``` |
| 81 | +Starting LlamaStack server with PID: 95508 |
| 82 | +Waiting for server to start.... |
| 83 | +Server is ready! |
| 84 | +``` |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +## Building a Search Agent |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +```python |
| 91 | +from llama_stack_client import LlamaStackClient, Agent, AgentEventLogger |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +client = LlamaStackClient( |
| 94 | + base_url="http://0.0.0.0:8321", |
| 95 | +) |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +agent = Agent( |
| 98 | + client, |
| 99 | + model="meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct", |
| 100 | + instructions="You are a helpful assistant. Use web search tool to answer the questions.", |
| 101 | + tools=["builtin::websearch"], |
| 102 | +) |
| 103 | +user_prompts = [ |
| 104 | + "In which major did Demis Hassabis complete his undergraduate degree? Search the web for the answer.", |
| 105 | + "Ilya Sutskever is one of the key figures in AI. From which institution did he earn his PhD in machine learning? Search the web for the answer.", |
| 106 | + "Sam Altman, widely known for his role at OpenAI, was born in which American city? Search the web for the answer.", |
| 107 | +] |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +session_id = agent.create_session("test-session") |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +for prompt in user_prompts: |
| 113 | + response = agent.create_turn( |
| 114 | + messages=[ |
| 115 | + { |
| 116 | + "role": "user", |
| 117 | + "content": prompt, |
| 118 | + } |
| 119 | + ], |
| 120 | + session_id=session_id, |
| 121 | + ) |
| 122 | + for log in AgentEventLogger().log(response): |
| 123 | + log.print() |
| 124 | +``` |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +Now, let’s look deeper into the agent’s execution steps and see if how well our agent performs. |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +```python |
| 130 | +session_response = client.agents.session.retrieve( |
| 131 | + session_id=session_id, |
| 132 | + agent_id=agent.agent_id, |
| 133 | +) |
| 134 | +``` |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +## Evaluate Agent Responses |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +We want to measure the Groundedness of response generated by the LlamaStack web search Agent. To do this we will need [EvaluationDataset](../../concepts/components/eval_dataset.md) and metrics to assess the grounded response, Ragas provides a wide array of off the shelf metrics that can be used to measure various aspects of retrieval and generations. |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +For measuring groundedness of response we will use:- |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +1. [Faithfulness](../../concepts/metrics/available_metrics/faithfulness.md) |
| 143 | +2. [Response Groundedness](../../concepts/metrics/available_metrics/nvidia_metrics.md#response-groundedness) |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +### Constructing a Ragas EvaluationDataset |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +To perform evaluations using Ragas we will create a `EvaluationDataset` |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +```python |
| 151 | +import json |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +# This function extracts the search results for the trace of each query |
| 154 | +def extract_retrieved_contexts(turn_object): |
| 155 | + results = [] |
| 156 | + for step in turn_object.steps: |
| 157 | + if step.step_type == "tool_execution": |
| 158 | + tool_responses = step.tool_responses |
| 159 | + for response in tool_responses: |
| 160 | + content = response.content |
| 161 | + if content: |
| 162 | + try: |
| 163 | + parsed_result = json.loads(content) |
| 164 | + results.append(parsed_result) |
| 165 | + except json.JSONDecodeError: |
| 166 | + print("Warning: Unable to parse tool response content as JSON.") |
| 167 | + continue |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | + retrieved_context = [] |
| 170 | + for result in results: |
| 171 | + top_content_list = [item["content"] for item in result["top_k"]] |
| 172 | + retrieved_context.extend(top_content_list) |
| 173 | + return retrieved_context |
| 174 | +``` |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +```python |
| 178 | +from ragas.dataset_schema import EvaluationDataset |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +samples = [] |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +references = [ |
| 183 | + "Demis Hassabis completed his undergraduate degree in Computer Science.", |
| 184 | + "Ilya Sutskever earned his PhD from the University of Toronto.", |
| 185 | + "Sam Altman was born in Chicago, Illinois.", |
| 186 | +] |
| 187 | + |
| 188 | +for i, turn in enumerate(session_response.turns): |
| 189 | + samples.append( |
| 190 | + { |
| 191 | + "user_input": turn.input_messages[0].content, |
| 192 | + "response": turn.output_message.content, |
| 193 | + "reference": references[i], |
| 194 | + "retrieved_contexts": extract_retrieved_contexts(turn), |

| 197 | + |
