MLflow GenAI Evaluation
mlflow.org
What it is
MLflow GenAI Evaluation is a free, open-source API and UI for measuring, improving, and monitoring LLM applications and AI agents from development through production. Evaluation Datasets centralize test cases, expected answers, and evaluation data. Teams can collect feedback from end users and domain experts, attach it to traces, and retain metadata. Scoring includes LLM-as-a-Judge, custom LLM judges, and code-based scorers; automatic evaluation supports LLM judges but not code-based scorers. Results appear in the MLflow UI with per-record details and comparisons between agent versions. MLflow Tracing records production metrics such as latency and token usage. Integrations are listed for more than 40 LLM and agent libraries and frameworks, including OpenTelemetry, LangChain, OpenAI, and Anthropic. Judge adapters include Anthropic, Bedrock, Google, and xAI. API, self-hosted, and web options are available, with Python SDK support, prompt history and testing, regression runs, safety evaluations, tool-call checks, deployment controls, and optional basic HTTP authentication.

Plans and prices
Strong points and limits
Strong points
- Free open-source evaluation API and UI
- Centralized datasets for tests and expected answers
- Supports human feedback attached to traces
- Compares results across agent versions
- Offers tracing for latency and token usage
Limits
- Automatic evaluation excludes code-based scorers
