openai-vision (OpenAI Vision Model Example)

This example demonstrates how to use promptfoo to evaluate OpenAI's vision capabilities, allowing you to test models on their ability to analyze and describe images.

Features Demonstrated

• Using OpenAI's GPT-4o with vision capabilities
• Incorporating images in prompts using JSON format
• Passing image URLs as variables
• Testing vision model responses against expected content

Environment Variables

This example requires the following environment variables:

• OPENAI_API_KEY - Your OpenAI API key

You can set this in a .env file or directly in your environment.

Running the Example

You can run this example with:

npx promptfoo@latest init --example openai-vision
# and then
cd openai-vision

# Run the evaluation
npx promptfoo eval

# View the results
npx promptfoo view

Example Configuration

This example:

1. Uses a JSON-formatted prompt that includes both text and image inputs
2. Passes image URLs as variables that can be changed for each test case
3. Tests the model's ability to accurately describe image content
4. Demonstrates how to transform variables to generate markdown image tags

Key Technical Features

• JSON prompt structure for multi-modal inputs
• Image URL handling through variable substitution
• Simple assertions to validate image content recognition
• Variable transformation to generate additional context
