What it is

Evaluates large language models efficiently to check their performance.

Real use case example

"A founder building a product with a large language model wants to compare its performance with another model. They use evalscope to create a custom evaluation framework and run it on both models, getting results in under an hour."

When to use it
  • •When you need to compare the performance of different large models on your dataset
  • •When you want to optimize your model's performance on a specific task or metric
  • •When you need to evaluate the effectiveness of your model in a production environment
Ready-to-paste prompt
Run an evaluation task using `evalscope run --config-path=configs/llm_benchmark.yml --model-name=mymodel --dataset=mydataset`
Heads up: Make sure you have the necessary dependencies installed, including PyTorch and transformers, and that your model and dataset are compatible with the evalscope framework
