SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires lm-eval, transformers, vllm, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables you to evaluate and compare language models on over 60+ academic benchmarks, supporting popular APIs like HuggingFace, vLLM, and more.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Benchmarking: Evaluate models across standardized benchmarks like MMLU, HumanEval, GSM8K, and more.
  • Model Comparison: Compare different models side-by-side on the same benchmarks.
  • Training Progress Tracking: Track training progress and analyze results over time.
  • API Support: Integrate with popular APIs and local language model servers.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill to determine which model is best suited for your application by comparing their performance across a range of tasks.

Quick Start

Evaluate the Llama-2-7B model on the MMLU benchmark:

lm-evaluation-harness --model hf \
  --model_args pretrained=meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf \
  --tasks mmlu
