Promptfoo

LLM Orchestrators

Overview

A CLI tool and library for testing and evaluating LLM outputs. It allows developers to run systematic benchmarks across different prompts and models to ensure quality and prevent regressions.

Promptfoo is an open-source CLI and library for systematically testing prompts and models, running evaluations and red-teaming to catch regressions before they ship. It treats prompt quality like unit tests, with reproducible benchmarks and assertions. It targets developers who want rigor instead of guesswork.

Key Features

  • Prompt and model evaluation as tests
  • Side-by-side benchmark comparisons
  • Assertions and scoring
  • Security red-teaming
  • CI integration

Best For

Developers who want reproducible, automated testing of prompts and models.
