Pass Through Solver

Reads pre-recorded trace / conversation history from a dataset column instead of calling a model. Use this to evaluate outputs that were generated outside of LF AI Platform, or to replay a previous conversation.

Examples

Example: Pre-recorded QA Traces. Reads a full conversation trace from the trace column of the dataset and presents it to the scorers without calling any model. Useful for scoring outputs generated outside LF AI Platform or replaying a previous run.

definition:
  # ...
  solver:
    type: "pass_through_solver"
    message_format: "open_responses"
    trace_column: "trace"

Given a dataset row whose trace column contains a pre-recorded single-turn exchange:

Turn Role Content
1 system You are a helpful assistant. Answer concisely with a single word.
2 user What is the capital city of Japan?
3 assistant Tokyo

The solver replays all three turns verbatim. The last assistant message (Tokyo) becomes solver_output.output passed to the scorers.

Multi-turn traces with tool calls are also supported:

Turn Role Content
1 user What is the current temperature in Seoul?
2 function_call get_current_weather({"city": "Seoul", "unit": "celsius"})
3 function_call_output {"temperature": 11, "condition": "partly cloudy"}
4 assistant The current temperature in Seoul is 11°C with partly cloudy skies.
5 user And what about Berlin?
6 function_call get_current_weather({"city": "Berlin", "unit": "celsius"})
7 function_call_output {"temperature": 4, "condition": "overcast"}
8 assistant In Berlin it is currently 4°C and overcast.

Configuration

postprocessor PythonPostprocessorTemplate

An optional postprocessor applied to solver outputs before scoring.

Default: None


type Literal “pass_through_solver required

The type of the solver.


trace_column string required

The name of the dataset column that contains the trace. The value must be deserializable as a Trace object.


message_format string
