Gen AI Evaluation ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ To run evaluation, first generate model responses from a set of prompts. .. code-block:: Python import pandas as pd prompts_df = pd.DataFrame({ "prompt": [ "What is the capital of France?", "Write a haiku about a cat.", "Write a Python function to calculate the factorial of a number.", "Translate 'How are you?' to French.", ], "reference": [ "Paris", "Sunbeam on the floor,\nA furry puddle sleeping,\nTwitching tail tells tales.", "def factorial(n):\n if n < 0:\n return 'Factorial does not exist for negative numbers'\n elif n == 0:\n return 1\n else:\n fact = 1\n i = 1\n while i <= n:\n fact *= i\n i += 1\n return fact", "Comment ça va ?", ] }) inference_results = client.evals.run_inference( model="gemini-2.5-flash-preview-05-20", src=prompts_df ) Then run evaluation by providing the inference results and specifying the metric types. .. code-block:: Python eval_result = client.evals.evaluate( dataset=inference_results, metrics=[ types.Metric(name='exact_match'), types.Metric(name='rouge_l_sum'), types.RubricMetric.TEXT_QUALITY, ] ) Agent Engine with Agent Development Kit (ADK) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ First, define a function that looks up the exchange rate: .. code-block:: Python def get_exchange_rate( currency_from: str = "USD", currency_to: str = "EUR", currency_date: str = "latest", ): """Retrieves the exchange rate between two currencies on a specified date. Uses the Frankfurter API (https://api.frankfurter.app/) to obtain exchange rate data. Returns: dict: A dictionary containing the exchange rate information. Example: {"amount": 1.0, "base": "USD", "date": "2023-11-24", "rates": {"EUR": 0.95534}} """ import requests response = requests.get( f"https://api.frankfurter.app/{currency_date}", params={"from": currency_from, "to": currency_to}, ) return response.json() Next, define an ADK Agent: .. code-block:: Python ## Recent releases | Version | Date | Urgency | Changes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `v1.155.0` | 2026-06-03 | High | ## [1.155.0](https://github.com/googleapis/python-aiplatform/compare/v1.154.0...v1.155.0) (2026-06-02) ### Features * Add Skill Registry GetSkillRevision and ListSkillRevisions to SDK ([94cd20c](https://github.com/googleapis/python-aiplatform/commit/94cd20c3f6c82bda5d6dfe5249cfd3e6992eb5bc)) * Add Skill Registry ListSkills and DeleteSkill to SDK ([57097a3](https://github.com/googleapis/python-aiplatform/commit/57097a31e1054b729bb45ec7bf1d625a7dcaeb84)) * Forward per-call `http_options` from ` | | `v1.154.0` | 2026-05-27 | High | ## [1.154.0](https://github.com/googleapis/python-aiplatform/compare/v1.153.1...v1.154.0) (2026-05-27) ### Features * Add new fields ([027acc8](https://github.com/googleapis/python-aiplatform/commit/027acc8dc6569bda74de16e753e224f9fd5dc7de)) * Add Skill Registry module to Vertex AI client - Get Skill method ([df50ac0](https://github.com/googleapis/python-aiplatform/commit/df50ac050e82d7a04bd1f8e26ee3fac8406b1600)) * Make skill_id a required parameter in `skills.create` ([bc4be37](https://gith | | `v1.153.1` | 2026-05-15 | High | ## [1.153.1](https://github.com/googleapis/python-aiplatform/compare/v1.153.0...v1.153.1) (2026-05-15) ### Bug Fixes * Remove google-genai version contraints ([cf4f183](https://github.com/googleapis/python-aiplatform/commit/cf4f183c085421e255267787214018de209430d1)) * Remove SDK workaround for async_retrieve_contexts.
