FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate LLMs across multiple tasks like MMLU and GSM8K?

To evaluate LLMs, you can benchmark language models across 60+ tasks like MMLU and GSM8K using a standardized evaluation harness. This framework provides consistent metrics for reproducible model comparisons.

How does the lm-evaluation-harness standardize benchmark results?

The lm-evaluation-harness standardizes benchmark results by providing task templates, data handling, and result aggregation. This ensures apples-to-apples comparisons across different models and configurations with consistent metrics.

Can I use vLLM with lm-eval-harness for LLM evaluation?

Yes, you can use vLLM with lm-eval-harness for LLM evaluation. The workflow relies on Python tooling including lm-eval-harness, transformers, and vLLM to generate structured results for analysis.

What is the best way to compare language models on TruthfulQA and ARC benchmarks?

The best way to compare language models on TruthfulQA and ARC benchmarks is using a reproducible framework that covers these tasks natively. This allows direct comparisons across models with consistent metrics tracking progress over time.

How do I generate structured results after running an LLM benchmark?

You generate structured results after running an LLM benchmark by executing the evaluation harness against your target model. The harness aggregates data and outputs structured results enabling reproducible analysis and progress tracking.
