Ask rather than guess any value that changes the result.\n3. **Run a small version first.** Evaluate on a small subset to verify prompts, parsing and scoring.\n4. **Execute the full task** using the instructions and references above.\n5. **Validate the result.** Use the benchmark's official splits and metrics; check for contamination; report variance across seeds or prompts.\n6. **Report.** State what was run (versions, commands, parameters), what was checked, and what is still uncertain.\n\n| If this happens | Do this |\n|---|---|\n| Scores differ from published numbers | Check prompt format, few-shot settings and harness version before concluding. |\n| A function, flag or endpoint in these instructions is missing in the installed version | Check the installed version's own documentation (`help()`, `--help`, official docs), adapt, and tell the user. Never invent an API. |\n| A required input, identifier or parameter is ambiguous | Ask the user, or state the assumption explicitly before running. |\n\n**Integrity rules**\n\n- Never fabricate results, parameters, identifiers, citations or statistics. If something cannot be run or verified, say so plainly.\n- Report evaluation settings in full; never cherry-pick prompts, seeds or subsets.\n- Treat version-specific details here as possibly outdated: confirm them against the official documentation for the installed version.\n- Ask before actions that cost money, consume shared GPUs or cloud quota, touch personal or patient data, or cannot be undone.\n\n## Related skills\n\n- `evaluating-code-models`: Evaluates code generation models across HumanEval, MBPP, MultiPL-E, and 15+ benchmarks with pass@k metrics.\n- `nemo-evaluator-sdk`: Evaluates LLMs across 100+ benchmarks from 18+ harnesses (MMLU, HumanEval, GSM8K, safety, VLM) with multi-backend execution.\n- `hqq-quantization`: Half-Quadratic Quantization for LLMs without calibration data.\n","# lm-evaluation-harness - LLM Benchmarking\n\n## Quick start\n\nlm-evaluation-harness evaluates LLMs across 60+ academic benchmarks using standardized prompts and metrics.\n\n**Installation**:\n```bash\npip install lm-eval\n```\n\n**Evaluate any HuggingFace model**:\n```bash\nlm_eval --model hf \\\n  --model_args pretrained=meta-llama\u002FLlama-2-7b-hf \\\n  --tasks mmlu,gsm8k,hellaswag \\\n  --device cuda:0 \\\n  --batch_size 8\n```\n\n**View available tasks**:\n```bash\nlm_eval --tasks list\n```\n\n## Common workflows\n\n### Workflow 1: Standard benchmark evaluation\n\nEvaluate model on core benchmarks (MMLU, GSM8K, HumanEval).\n\nCopy this checklist:\n\n```\nBenchmark Evaluation:\n- [ ] Step 1: Choose benchmark suite\n- [ ] Step 2: Configure model\n- [ ] Step 3: Run evaluation\n- [ ] Step 4: Analyze results\n```\n\n**Step 1: Choose benchmark suite**\n\n**Core reasoning benchmarks**:\n- **MMLU** (Massive Multitask Language Understanding) - 57 subjects, multiple choice\n- **GSM8K** - Grade school math word problems\n- **HellaSwag** - Common sense reasoning\n- **TruthfulQA** - Truthfulness and factuality\n- **ARC** (AI2 Reasoning Challenge) - Science questions\n\n**Code benchmarks**:\n- **HumanEval** - Python code generation (164 problems)\n- **MBPP** (Mostly Basic Python Problems) - Python coding\n\n**Standard suite** (recommended for model releases):\n```bash\n--tasks mmlu,gsm8k,hellaswag,truthfulqa,arc_challenge\n```\n\n**Step 2: Configure model**\n\n**HuggingFace model**:\n```bash\nlm_eval --model hf \\\n  --model_args pretrained=meta-llama\u002FLlama-2-7b-hf,dtype=bfloat16 \\\n  --tasks mmlu \\\n  --device cuda:0 \\\n  --batch_size auto  #

Ask rather than guess any value that changes the result.\n3. **Run a small version first.** Evaluate on a small subset to verify prompts, parsing and scoring.\n4. **Execute the full task** using the instructions and references above.\n5. **Validate the result.** Use the benchmark's official splits and metrics; check for contamination; report variance across seeds or prompts.\n6. **Report.** State what was run (versions, commands, parameters), what was checked, and what is still uncertain.\n\n| If this happens | Do this |\n|---|---|\n| Scores differ from published numbers | Check prompt format, few-shot settings and harness version before concluding. |\n| A function, flag or endpoint in these instructions is missing in the installed version | Check the installed version's own documentation (`help()`, `--help`, official docs), adapt, and tell the user. Never invent an API. |\n| A required input, identifier or parameter is ambiguous | Ask the user, or state the assumption explicitly before running. |\n\n**Integrity rules**\n\n- Never fabricate results, parameters, identifiers, citations or statistics. If something cannot be run or verified, say so plainly.\n- Report evaluation settings in full; never cherry-pick prompts, seeds or subsets.\n- Treat version-specific details here as possibly outdated: confirm them against the official documentation for the installed version.\n- Ask before actions that cost money, consume shared GPUs or cloud quota, touch personal or patient data, or cannot be undone.\n\n## Related skills\n\n- `evaluating-code-models`: Evaluates code generation models across HumanEval, MBPP, MultiPL-E, and 15+ benchmarks with pass@k metrics.\n- `nemo-evaluator-sdk`: Evaluates LLMs across 100+ benchmarks from 18+ harnesses (MMLU, HumanEval, GSM8K, safety, VLM) with multi-backend execution.\n- `hqq-quantization`: Half-Quadratic Quantization for LLMs without calibration data.\n",{"name":5,"license":15,"metadata":44,"description":7},{"tags":45,"version":46,"category":47,"maintainer":48,"dependencies":49},"Evaluation, LM Evaluation Harness, Benchmarking, MMLU, HumanEval, GSM8K, EleutherAI, Model Quality, Academic Benchmarks, Industry Standard","1.0.0","ml-evaluation-and-safety","Kalaris Labs","lm-eval, transformers, vllm","main","0da4485785ee599388900be50db1635489d53056",".agents\u002Fskills\u002Fkal-evaluating-llms-harness","https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FTashima-Tarsh\u002FDisha6.6","https:\u002F\u002Fdisha6.6.thenitishkr.in\u002F","https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FTashima-Tarsh","www.thenitishkr","thenitishkr | AI • Cyber-security • Research\r\n","2026-11-08 03:33:25",{"source":8,"skillName":5,"commands":60,"prompt":70,"zipAvailable":71},[61,64,67],{"tool":62,"command":63},"npx","npx skills add Tashima-Tarsh\u002FDisha6.6 --skill evaluating-llms-harness",{"tool":65,"command":66},"bunx","bunx skills add Tashima-Tarsh\u002FDisha6.6 --skill evaluating-llms-harness",{"tool":68,"command":69},"pnpm","pnpm dlx skills add Tashima-Tarsh\u002FDisha6.6 --skill evaluating-llms-harness","安装技能，技能地址：https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FTashima-Tarsh\u002FDisha6.6\u002Fblob\u002Fmain\u002F.agents\u002Fskills\u002Fkal-evaluating-llms-harness\u002FSKILL.md",true,[73,79,83,87,91,95],{"path":74,"resourceType":75,"resourceTypeDesc":76,"sizeBytes":77,"sourceHtmlUrl":78},"references\u002Fapi-evaluation.md","REFERENCE","参考文档",11114,"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FTashima-Tarsh\u002FDisha6.6\u002Fblob\u002Fmain\u002F.agents\u002Fskills\u002Fkal-evaluating-llms-harness\u002Freferences\u002Fapi-evaluation.md",{"path":80,"resourceType":75,"resourceTypeDesc":76,"sizeBytes":81,"sourceHtmlUrl":82},"references\u002Fbenchmark-guide.md",10769,"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FTashima-Tarsh\u002FDisha6.6\u002Fblob\u002Fmain\u002F.agents\u002Fskills\u002Fkal-evaluating-llms-harness\u002Freferences\u002Fbenchmark-guide.md",{"path":84,"resourceType":75,"resourceTypeDesc":76,"sizeBytes":85,"sourceHtmlUrl":86},"references\u002Fcommon-issues.md",1197,"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FTashima-Tarsh\u002FDisha6.6\u002Fblob\u002Fmain\u002F.agents\u002Fskills\u002Fkal-evaluating-llms-harness\u002Freferences\u002Fcommon-issues.md",{"path":88,"resourceType":75,"resourceTypeDesc":76,"sizeBytes":89,"sourceHtmlUrl":90},"references\u002Fcustom-tasks.md",13125,"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FTashima-Tarsh\u002FDisha6.6\u002Fblob\u002Fmain\u002F.agents\u002Fskills\u002Fkal-evaluating-llms-harness\u002Freferences\u002Fcustom-tasks.md",{"path":92,"resourceType":75,"resourceTypeDesc":76,"sizeBytes":93,"sourceHtmlUrl":94},"references\u002Fdistributed-eval.md",11426,"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FTashima-Tarsh\u002FDisha6.6\u002Fblob\u002Fmain\u002F.agents\u002Fskills\u002Fkal-evaluating-llms-harness\u002Freferences\u002Fdistributed-eval.md",{"path":96,"resourceType":75,"resourceTypeDesc":76,"sizeBytes":97,"sourceHtmlUrl":98},"references\u002Fhardware-requirements.md",362,"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FTashima-Tarsh\u002FDisha6.6\u002Fblob\u002Fmain\u002F.agents\u002Fskills\u002Fkal-evaluating-llms-harness\u002Freferences\u002Fhardware-requirements.md",[100,132,156,183,208,231],{"skillNo":101,"name":102,"nameZh":6,"description":103,"descriptionZh":6,"repositoryFullName":8,"ownerLogin":9,"ownerAvatarUrl":10,"ownerAccountNo":11,"ownerDisplayName":12,"repositoryNo":13,"starsCount":14,"licenseSpdxId":15,"licenseFileUrl":6,"sourceHtmlUrl":104,"categories":105,"keywords":111,"publishedAt":39},"01M6QRD07D4TGNDK6VJ4EHF8BV","youtube-full","Use when the user needs YouTube transcripts, video search, channel browsing, playlist extraction, or content monitoring.
