A lightweight library for LLM-as-a-Judge evaluations using vLLM hosted models. Evaluate LLM inputs & outputs at scale with just a few lines of code. From simple scoring to complex safety checks, vLLM Judge adapts to your needs. Please refer the documentation for usage details.
- π Simple Interface: Single
evaluate()method that adapts to any use case - π― Pre-built Metrics: 20+ ready-to-use evaluation metrics
- π‘οΈ Model-Specific Support: Seamlessly works with specialized models like Llama Guard without breaking their trained formats.
- β‘ High Performance: Async-first design enables high-throughput evaluations
- π§ Template Support: Dynamic evaluations with template variables
- π API Mode: Run as a REST API service

Run Judge as a REST API:
vllm-judge serve --base-url http://vllm-server:8000 --port 9090
Then use the HTTP API:
from vllm_judge.api import JudgeClient client = JudgeClient("http://localhost:9090") result = await client.evaluate( content="Python is great!", criteria="technical accuracy" )
