Release highlights

AI Evaluation 1.0.0b4 Changelog

Breaking Changes

  • Removed numpy dependency. All NaN values returned by the SDK have been changed to from numpy.nan to math.nan.
  • credential is now required to be passed in for all content safety evaluators and ProtectedMaterialsEvaluator. DefaultAzureCredential will no longer be chosen if a credential is not passed.
  • Changed package extra name from “pf-azure” to “remote”.

Bugs Fixed

  • Adversarial Conversation simulations would fail with Forbidden. Added logic to re-fetch token in the exponential retry logic to retrive RAI Service response.

AI Evaluation 1.0.0b5 Changelog

Breaking Changes

  • Renamed environment variable PF_EVALS_BATCH_USE_ASYNC to AI_EVALS_BATCH_USE_ASYNC.
  • RetrievalEvaluator now requires a context input in addition to query in single-turn evaluation.
  • RelevanceEvaluator no longer takes context as an input. It now only takes query and response in single-turn evaluation.
  • FluencyEvaluator no longer takes query as an input. It now only takes response in single-turn evaluation.
  • AdversarialScenario enum does not include ADVERSARIAL_INDIRECT_JAILBREAK, invoking IndirectJailbreak or XPIA should be done with IndirectAttackSimulator
  • Outputs of Simulator and AdversarialSimulator previously had to_eval_qa_json_lines and now has to_eval_qr_json_lines. Where to_eval_qa_json_lines had: 
    {"question": <user_message>, "answer": <assistant_message>}

    to_eval_qr_json_lines now has:

    {"query": <user_message>, "response": assistant_message}

Bugs Fixed

  • Non adversarial simulator works with gpt-4o models using the json_schema response format
  • Fixed an issue where the evaluate API would fail with “[WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process” when venv folder and target function file are in the same directory.
  • Fix evaluate API failure when trace.destination is set to none
  • Non adversarial simulator now accepts context from the callback

Features Added

  • Added GroundednessProEvaluator, which is a service-based evaluator for determining response groundedness.
  • Groundedness detection in Non Adversarial Simulator via query/context pairs 
    import importlib.resources as pkg_resources
package = "azure.ai.evaluation.simulator._data_sources"
resource_name = "grounding.json"
custom_simulator = Simulator(model_config=model_config)
conversation_turns = []
with pkg_resources.path(package, resource_name) as grounding_file:
with open(grounding_file, "r") as file:
data = json.load(file)
for item in data:
conversation_turns.append([item])
outputs = asyncio.run(custom_simulator(
target=callback,
conversation_turns=conversation_turns,
max_conversation_turns=1,
))
  • Adding evaluator for multimodal use cases

AI Model Inference 1.0.0b5 Changelog

Features Added

  • Support for OpenTelemetry tracing. Please find more information in the package README.md.
  • When constructing clients using input credential of type AzureKeyCredential, two HTTP request headers are sent simultaneously for authentication: Authentication: Beater <key> and api-key: <key> (previously only the first one was sent). This is to support different inference services, removing the need for the application to explicitly specify an additional HTTP request header.

  • Added operation groups LargeFaceListOperations and LargePersonGroupOperations to FaceAdministrationClient.
  • Added operations find_similar_from_large_face_list, identify_from_large_person_group and verify_from_large_person_group to FaceClient.
  • Added models for supporting Large Face List and Large Person Group.
  • Added support for latest Detect Liveness Session API:
