The framework can be installed from the source, and a small example program is provided to see Ragas in action. The community is encouraged to get more involved with Ragas through their discord server. The startup also tracks basic usage metrics to understand user needs and improve their services. However, they ensure that no information that can identify the user or their company is tracked. Users can disable usage-tracking by setting the `RAGAS_DO_NOT_TRACK` flag to true.
Key takeaways:
- Ragas is a framework designed to evaluate the performance of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, providing insights about the pipeline and can be integrated with CI/CD for continuous checks.
- The installation process involves cloning from the source and using pip install command.
- There is a quickstart example program provided to demonstrate how Ragas can be used, with metrics such as faithfulness and answer correctness.
- Ragas also has a community on Discord for users to get more involved, discuss about LLM, Retrieval, Production issues and more.
