OpenJudge is an **open-source evaluation framework** for **AI applications** (e.g., AI agents or chatbots) designed to **evaluate quality** and drive **continuous application optimization**. > In practice, application excellence depends on a trustworthy evaluation workflow: Collect test data → Define graders → Run evaluation at scale → Analyze weaknesses → Iterate quickly. OpenJudge provides **ready-to-use graders** and supports generating **scenario-specific rubrics (as graders)**, making this workflow **simpler**, **more professional**, and **easy to integrate** into your workflow. It can also convert grading results into **reward signals** to help you **fine-tune** and optimize your application. > **🚀 Try it now!** Visit [openjudge.me/app](https://openjudge.me/app/) to use graders online — no installation required. Test built-in graders, build custom rubrics, and explore evaluation results directly in your browser. --- ## 📑 Table of Contents - [Key Features](#-key-features) - [News](#news) - [Online Playground](#-online-playground) - [Installation](#-installation) - [Quickstart](#-quickstart) - [Integrations](#-integrations) - [Ecosystem](#-ecosystem) - [Contributing](#-contributing) - [Community](#-community) - [Citation](#-citation) --- ## News - **2026-06-17** - 🐾 **PawBench v1.0** - A Model × Harness co-evaluation benchmark for agentic AI: 150 tasks · 9 models · 3 harnesses, with public prompts, graders, task labels, submissions, and leaderboard slices. 👉 [GitHub](https://github.com/agentscope-ai/PawBench) | [Leaderboard](https://agentscope-ai.github.io/PawBench/) - **2026-04-07** - 🔒 **Skill Graders** - 5 new LLM-based graders for evaluating AI Agent Skill packages: threat analysis (AITech taxonomy), declaration alignment, completeness, relevance, and design quality. 👉 [Documentation](./docs/built_in_graders/skills.md) | [Cookbook](./cookbooks/skills_evaluation/README.md) - **2026-03-10** - 🛠️ **New Skills** - Claude authenticity verification, find skills combo, and more. 👉 [Browse Skills](https://openjudge.me/skills) - **2026-02-12** - 📚 **Reference Hallucination Arena** - Benchmark for evaluating LLM academic reference hallucination. 👉 [Documentation](./docs/validating_graders/ref_hallucination_arena.md) | 📊 [Leaderboard](https://openjudge.me/leaderboard) - **2026-01-27** - 🆕 **Paper Review** - Automatically review academic papers using LLM-powered evaluation. 👉 [Documentation](https://agentscope-ai.github.io/OpenJudge/applications/paper_review/) - **2026-01-27** - 🖥️ **OpenJudge UI** - A Streamlit-based visual interface for grader testing and Auto Arena. 👉 [Try Online](https://openjudge.me/app/) | Run locally: `streamlit run ui/app.py` --- ## ✨ Key Features ### 📦 Systematic & Quality-Assured Grader Library Access **50+ production-ready graders** featuring a comprehensive taxonomy, rigorously validated for reliable performance.

- 🌐 **Multi-Scenario Coverage:** Extensive support for diverse domains including Agent, text, code, math, and multimodal tasks. 👉 [Explore Supported Scenarios](https://agentscope-ai.github.io/OpenJudge/built_in_graders/overview/) - 🔄 **Holistic Agent Evaluation:** Beyond final outcomes, we assess the entire lifecycle—including trajectories, Memory, Reflection, and Tool Use. 👉 [Agent Lifecycle Evaluation](https://agentscope-ai.github.io/OpenJudge/built_in_graders/agent_graders/) - ✅ **Quality Assurance:** Every grader comes with benchmark datasets and pytest integration for validation. 👉 [View Benchmark Datasets](https://huggingface.co/datasets/agentscope-ai/OpenJudge) ### 🛠️ Flexible Grader Building Methods Choose the build method that fits your requirements: * **Customization:** Clear requirements, but no existing grader? If you have explicit rules or logic, use our Python interfaces or Prompt templates to quickly define your own grader. 👉 [Custom Grader Development Guide](https://agentscope-ai.github.io/OpenJudge/building_graders/create_custom_graders/) * **Zero-shot Rubrics Generation:** Not sure what criteria to use, and no labeled data yet? Just provide a task description and optional sample queries—the LLM will automatically generate evaluation rubrics for you. Ideal for rapid prototyping when you want to get started immediately. 👉 [Zero-shot Rubrics Generation Guide](https://agentscope-ai.github.io/OpenJudge/building_graders/generate_rubrics_as_graders/#simple-rubric-zero-shot-generation) * **Data-driven Rubrics Generation:** Ambiguous requirements, but have few examples? Use the GraderGenerator to automatically summarize evaluation Rubrics from your annotated data, and generate a llm-based grader. 👉 [Data-driven Rubrics Generation Guide](https://agentscope-ai.github.io/OpenJudge/building_graders/generate_rubrics_as_graders/#iterative-rubric-data-driven-generation) * **Training Judge Models:** Massive data and need peak performance? Use our training pipeline to train a dedicated Judge Model. This is ideal for complex scenarios where prompt-based grading falls short.👉 [Train Judge Models](https://agentscope-ai.github.io/OpenJudge/building_graders/training_judge_models/) ### 🔌 Easy Integration Using mainstream observability platforms like **LangSmith** or **Langfuse**? We offer seamless integration to enhance their evaluators and automated evaluation capabilities. We also provide integrations with training frameworks like **VERL** for RL training. 👉 See [Integrations](#-integrations) for details ### 🌐 Online Playground Explore OpenJudge without writing a single line of code.

These projects share OpenJudge's philosophy of **evaluation-driven optimization** while targeting specific verticals. ### 🐾 [PawBench](https://github.com/agentscope-ai/PawBench) — Model × Harness Co-Evaluation Benchmark The same model can behave very differently depending on which agent runtime (harness) it runs inside. PawBench evaluates **the model and the harness together**, keeping enough metadata to analyze both dimensions independently: $$\text{Agent Performance} = f(\text{Model}, \text{Harness})$$ | Dimension | Coverage | |:----------|:---------| | **Tasks** | 150 tasks from 6 sources (ClawEval, QwenClawBench, PinchBench, SkillsBench, WildClawBench, self-built) | | **Models** | 9 models (Qwen, Claude, GLM, etc.) | | **Harnesses** | 3 harnesses (QwenPaw, OpenClaw, Hermes) | | **Task labels** | 5 dimensions: scenario, capability, complexity, modality, environment | Key findings from v1.0: harness design alone can shift a model's score by **10+ points** — a gap comparable to many model upgrades. PawBench provides slice diagnostics to pinpoint whether regressions come from the model, the harness, or the grader. 👉 [GitHub](https://github.com/agentscope-ai/PawBench) | [Leaderboard](https://agentscope-ai.github.io/PawBench/) | [Documentation](https://github.com/agentscope-ai/PawBench#readme) --- ## 🤝 Contributing We love your input!

--- ## Migration Guide (v0.1.x → v0.2.0) > OpenJudge was previously distributed as the legacy package `rm-gallery` (v0.1.x). Starting from v0.2.0, it is published as `py-openjudge` and the Python import namespace is `openjudge`. **OpenJudge v0.2.0 is NOT backward compatible with v0.1.x.** If you are currently using v0.1.x, choose one of the following paths: - **Stay on v0.1.x (legacy)**: keep using the old package ```bash pip install rm-gallery ``` We preserved the source code of **v0.1.7 (the latest v0.1.x release)** in the [`v0.1.7-legacy` branch](https://github.com/agentscope-ai/OpenJudge/tree/v0.1.7-legacy). - **Migrate to v0.2.0 (recommended)**: follow the **[Installation](#-installation)** section above, then walk through **[Quickstart](#-quickstart)** (or the full [Quickstart Guide](https://agentscope-ai.github.io/OpenJudge/get_started/quickstart/)) to update your imports / usage. If you run into migration issues, please [open an issue](https://github.com/agentscope-ai/OpenJudge/issues) with your minimal repro and current version. --- ## 📄 Citation If you use OpenJudge in your research, please cite: ```bibtex @software{ title = {OpenJudge: A Unified Framework for Holistic Evaluation and Quality Rewards}, author = {The OpenJudge Team}, url = {https://github.com/agentscope-ai/OpenJudge}, month = {07}, year = {2025} } ``` ---
