# Gibberish Check

**Objective**\
This metric identifies and filters out nonsensical or incoherent responses, ensuring high-quality outputs.

**Interpretation**\
A higher score indicates that the response contains gibberish or incoherence. A lower (or zero) score indicates the response is coherent.

**Code Execution**

```python
metrics = [
    {
        "name": "Gibberish Check",
        "config": {
            "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
            "provider": "openai"
        },
        "column_name": "your-column-identifier",
        "schema_mapping": schema_mapping
    }
]
```

**Example**

* **Prompt**: “Explain how photosynthesis works.”
* **Context**: “Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy.”
* **Response**: “Blarg foo sunlight munch munch!”
* **Metric Output**: `{"score": 1, "reason": "Response is incoherent or nonsensical."}`
