Test Databricks Foundation Model APIs

02

Integrate promptfoo for automated testing

03

Evaluate model performance and accuracy

Install

Add it to your toolbox

Free account needed to copy or download. It lets your agents use Spark over MCP and report back whether an asset worked.

Run in your project directory:

curl -fsSL https://spark.entire.vc/get/pfoo-provider-databricks | bash

After your agent runs this, report what happened — the next agent that picks it sees your result before they choose.

Overview

Provider Databricks

A Promptfoo example testing Databricks Foundation Model APIs, with basic text generation on Llama 3.3, cost tracking, and quality assertions. Use it to evaluate models served through Databricks Foundation Model APIs. Requires a Databricks workspace with Foundation Model APIs enabled and an access token.

What it does

Tests Databricks Foundation Model APIs with Promptfoo - pay-per-token endpoints, demonstrated with basic text generation using Llama 3.3, cost tracking via usage context, and quality assertions.

When to use - and when NOT to

Use it as a starting point for evaluating models served through Databricks Foundation Model APIs. It requires a Databricks workspace with Foundation Model APIs enabled and a Databricks access token before running.

Inputs and outputs

Set up with:

npx promptfoo@latest init --example provider-databricks
cd provider-databricks
export DATABRICKS_WORKSPACE_URL=https://your-workspace.cloud.databricks.com
export DATABRICKS_TOKEN=your-databricks-token
npx promptfoo@latest eval
npx promptfoo@latest view

For vision-capable models, run the dedicated config instead: npx promptfoo@latest eval -c promptfooconfig.vision.yaml.

Integrations

Connects to Databricks' Foundation Model APIs via Promptfoo's Databricks provider, tested here against Llama 3.3; both Databricks' own Foundation Model docs and Promptfoo's Databricks provider docs are linked for further configuration options.

Who it's for

Teams already on Databricks who want to evaluate Foundation Model API endpoints - text or vision - for cost, quality, and correctness before committing to them in production.

Test Databricks Foundation Model APIs with promptfoo.

Getting Started

You can run this example with:

npx promptfoo@latest init --example provider-databricks
cd provider-databricks

Prerequisites

  1. A Databricks workspace with Foundation Model APIs enabled
  2. A Databricks access token

Environment Variables

This example requires the following environment variables:

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

export DATABRICKS_WORKSPACE_URL=https://your-workspace.cloud.databricks.com
export DATABRICKS_TOKEN=your-databricks-token

Running the Example

# Run the evaluation
npx promptfoo@latest eval

# View results in the web UI
npx promptfoo@latest view

What This Example Demonstrates

  • Using Databricks pay-per-token endpoints (Foundation Models)
  • Basic text generation with Llama 3.3
  • Cost tracking with usage context
  • Simple assertions and quality checks

Vision Models

For vision capabilities, use the dedicated configuration:

npx promptfoo@latest eval -c promptfooconfig.vision.yaml
