SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires inspect-ai, inspect-evals, openai, vllm, torch, transformers, accelerate, lighteval, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Run evaluations for Hugging Face Hub models locally using inspect-ai and lighteval, enabling quick backend comparison and offline experimentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local evaluation of HF Hub models with inspect-ai and lighteval across vLLM, Transformers, and accelerate backends.
  • Supports smoke tests, backend selection, and performance comparisons for model selection.
  • Not intended for Hugging Face Jobs orchestration, model-card PRs, .eval_results publication, or community-evals automation.

Quick Start

Use uv run with either scripts/inspect_eval_uv.py or scripts/lighteval_vllm_uv.py to evaluate a Hugging Face Hub model on local hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions about huggingface-community-evals

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run local GPU evaluations on Hugging Face Hub models?

You can run local GPU evaluations on Hugging Face Hub models using provided scripts via uv run, executing either inspect_eval_uv.py or lighteval_vllm_uv.py to benchmark models offline on your local hardware.

What backends are supported for local model benchmarking with inspect-ai and lighteval?

Local model benchmarking supports vLLM, HuggingFace Transformers, and accelerate backends, enabling performance comparisons and backend selection to help you choose the optimal model deployment framework.

Can I use this to automate community evaluations and publish eval_results to model cards?

No, it is not intended for Hugging Face Jobs orchestration, model-card PRs, .eval_results publication, or community-evals automation; it strictly supports local offline experimentation and backend comparison.

Do I need vLLM and torch installed to run Hugging Face model smoke tests locally?

Yes, running local Hugging Face model smoke tests requires explicit dependencies including vllm, torch, transformers, accelerate, inspect-ai, inspect-evals, lighteval, and openai to successfully execute the evaluation scripts.

What is the best way to compare vLLM and Transformers performance for Hugging Face models?

The best way to compare vLLM and Transformers performance is running local evaluations across multiple backends using lighteval and inspect-ai scripts, which support backend selection and performance benchmarking for model selection.
