EleutherAI, in collaboration with Stability AI and other partners, has launched "Language Model Evaluation Harness" (lm-eval), an open-source library designed to enhance the evaluation of LLMs.

The lm-eval tool offers modular implementation of evaluation tasks, supporting various requests such as conditional log-likelihoods, perplexities, and text generation. It facilitates qualitative and quantitative analyses, allowing researchers to conduct in-depth evaluations of model outputs.

EleutherAI claims that the lm-eval tool overcomes the limitations of reproducibility and transparency in existing evaluation methods by providing a consistent framework for fair and precise comparisons across different models and techniques, ultimately leading to more reliable research outcomes.
