A detailed table is available at the end of this document. - -## Basic Usage -### User Guide - -A user guide detailing the full list of supported arguments is provided [here](./docs/interface.md), and on the terminal by calling `lm_eval -h`. Alternatively, you can use `lm-eval` instead of `lm_eval`. - -A list of supported tasks (or groupings of tasks) can be viewed with `lm-eval --tasks list`. Task descriptions and links to corresponding subfolders are provided [here](./lm_eval/tasks/README.md). - -### Hugging Face `transformers` - -To evaluate a model hosted on the [HuggingFace Hub](https://huggingface.co/models) (e.g. GPT-J-6B) on `hellaswag` you can use the following command (this assumes you are using a CUDA-compatible GPU): - -```bash -lm_eval --model hf \ - --model_args pretrained=EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B \ - --tasks hellaswag \ - --device cuda:0 \ - --batch_size 8 -``` - -Additional arguments can be provided to the model constructor using the `--model_args` flag. Most notably, this supports the common practice of using the `revisions` feature on the Hub to store partially trained checkpoints, or to specify the datatype for running a model: - -```bash -lm_eval --model hf \ - --model_args pretrained=EleutherAI/pythia-160m,revision=step100000,dtype="float" \ - --tasks lambada_openai,hellaswag \ - --device cuda:0 \ - --batch_size 8 -``` - -Models that are loaded via both `transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM` (autoregressive, decoder-only GPT style models) and `transformers.AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM` (such as encoder-decoder models like T5) in Huggingface are supported. - -Batch size selection can be automated by setting the ```--batch_size``` flag to ```auto```. This will perform automatic detection of the largest batch size that will fit on your device. On tasks where there is a large difference between the longest and shortest example, it can be helpful to periodically recompute the largest batch size, to gain a further speedup. To do this, append ```:N``` to above flag to automatically recompute the largest batch size ```N``` times. For example, to recompute the batch size 4 times, the command would be: - -```bash -lm_eval --model hf \ - --model_args pretrained=EleutherAI/pythia-160m,revision=step100000,dtype="float" \ - --tasks lambada_openai,hellaswag \ - --device cuda:0 \ - --batch_size auto:4 -``` - -> [!Note] -> Just like you can provide a local path to `transformers.AutoModel`, you can also provide a local path to `lm_eval` via `--model_args pretrained=/path/to/model` - -#### Multi-GPU Evaluation with Hugging Face `accelerate` - -We support two main ways of using Hugging Face's [accelerate πŸš€](https://github.com/huggingface/accelerate) library for multi-GPU evaluation. - -To perform *data-parallel evaluation* (where each GPU loads a **separate full copy** of the model), we leverage the `accelerate` launcher as follows: - -``` -accelerate launch -m lm_eval --model hf \ - --tasks lambada_openai,arc_easy \ - --batch_size 16 -``` -(or via `accelerate launch --no-python lm_eval`). - -For cases where your model can fit on a single GPU, this allows you to evaluate on K GPUs K times faster than on one. - -**WARNING**: This setup does not work with FSDP model sharding, so in `accelerate config` FSDP must be disabled, or the NO_SHARD FSDP option must be used. - -The second way of using `accelerate` for multi-GPU evaluation is when your model is *too large to fit on a single GPU.* - -In this setting, run the library *outside the `accelerate` launcher*, but passing `parallelize=True` to `--model_args` as follows: - -``` -lm_eval --model hf \ - --tasks lambada_openai,arc_easy \ - --model_args parallelize=True \ - --batch_size 16 -``` - -This means that your model's weights will be split across all available GPUs. - -For more advanced users or even larger models, we allow for the following arguments when `parallelize=True` as well: -- `device_map_option`: How to split model weights across available GPUs. defaults to "auto". -- `max_memory_per_gpu`: the max GPU memory to use per GPU in loading the model. -- `max_cpu_memory`: the max amount of CPU memory to use when offloading the model weights to RAM. -- `offload_folder`: a folder where model weights will be offloaded to disk if needed. - -These two options (`accelerate launch` and `parallelize=True`) are mutually exclusive. - -**Note: we do not currently support multi-node evaluations natively, and advise using either an externally hosted server to run inference requests against, or creating a custom integration with your distributed framework [as is done for the GPT-NeoX library](https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox/blob/main/eval_tasks/eval_adapter.py).** - -### NVIDIA `nemo` models - -[NVIDIA NeMo Framework](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo) is a generative AI framework built for researchers and pytorch developers working on language models. - -To evaluate a `nemo` model, start by installing NeMo following [the documentation](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo?tab=readme-ov-file#installation). We highly recommended to use the NVIDIA PyTorch or NeMo container, especially if having issues installing Apex or any other dependencies (see [latest released containers](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo/releases)). Please also install the lm evaluation harness library following the instructions in [the Install section](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#install). - -NeMo models can be obtained through [NVIDIA NGC Catalog](https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/models) or in [NVIDIA's Hugging Face page](https://huggingface.co/nvidia). In [NVIDIA NeMo Framework](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo/tree/main/scripts/nlp_language_modeling) there are conversion scripts to convert the `hf` checkpoints of popular models like llama, falcon, mixtral or mpt to `nemo`. - -Run a `nemo` model on one GPU: -```bash -lm_eval --model nemo_lm \ - --model_args path= \ - --tasks hellaswag \ - --batch_size 32 -``` - -It is recommended to unpack the `nemo` model to avoid the unpacking inside the docker container - it may overflow disk space. For that you can run: - -``` -mkdir MY_MODEL -tar -xvf MY_MODEL.nemo -c MY_MODEL -``` - -#### Multi-GPU evaluation with NVIDIA `nemo` models - -By default, only one GPU is used. But we do support either data replication or tensor/pipeline parallelism during evaluation, on one node. - -1) To enable data replication, set the `model_args` of `devices` to the number of data replicas to run. For example, the command to run 8 data replicas over 8 GPUs is: -```bash -torchrun --nproc-per-node=8 --no-python lm_eval \ - --model nemo_lm \ - --model_args path=,devices=8 \ - --tasks hellaswag \ - --batch_size 32 -``` - -2) To enable tensor and/or pipeline parallelism, set the `model_args` of `tensor_model_parallel_size` and/or `pipeline_model_parallel_size`. In addition, you also have to set up `devices` to be equal to the product of `tensor_model_parallel_size` and/or `pipeline_model_parallel_size`. For example, the command to use one node of 4 GPUs with tensor parallelism of 2 and pipeline parallelism of 2 is: -```bash -torchrun --nproc-per-node=4 --no-python lm_eval \ - --model nemo_lm \ - --model_args path=,devices=4,tensor_model_parallel_size=2,pipeline_model_parallel_size=2 \ - --tasks hellaswag \ - --batch_size 32 -``` -Note that it is recommended to substitute the `python` command by `torchrun --nproc-per-node= --no-python` to facilitate loading the model into the GPUs. This is especially important for large checkpoints loaded into multiple GPUs. - -Not supported yet: multi-node evaluation and combinations of data replication with tensor or pipeline parallelism. - -### Tensor + Data Parallel and Optimized Inference with `vLLM` - -We also support vLLM for faster inference on [supported model types](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/models/supported_models.html), especially faster when splitting a model across multiple GPUs. For single-GPU or multi-GPU β€” tensor parallel, data parallel, or a combination of both β€” inference, for example: - -```bash -lm_eval --model vllm \ - --model_args pretrained={model_name},tensor_parallel_size={GPUs_per_model},dtype=auto,gpu_memory_utilization=0.8,data_parallel_size={model_replicas} \ - --tasks lambada_openai \ - --batch_size auto -``` -To use vllm, do `pip install lm_eval[vllm]`. For a full list of supported vLLM configurations, please reference our [vLLM integration](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness/blob/e74ec966556253fbe3d8ecba9de675c77c075bce/lm_eval/models/vllm_causallms.py) and the vLLM documentation. - -vLLM occasionally differs in output from Huggingface. We treat Huggingface as the reference implementation, and provide a [script](./scripts/model_comparator.py) for checking the validity of vllm results against HF. - -> [!Tip] -> For fastest performance, we recommend using `--batch_size auto` for vLLM whenever possible, to leverage its continuous batching functionality! - -> [!Tip] -> Passing `max_model_len=4096` or some other reasonable default to vLLM through model args may cause speedups or prevent out-of-memory errors when trying to use auto batch size, such as for Mistral-7B-v0.1 which defaults to a maximum length of 32k. - -### Model APIs and Inference Servers - -Our library also supports the evaluation of models served via several commercial APIs, and we hope to implement support for the most commonly used performant local/self-hosted inference servers. - -To call a hosted model, use: - -```bash -export OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY_HERE -lm_eval --model openai-completions \ - --model_args model=davinci \ - --tasks lambada_openai,hellaswag -``` - -We also support using your own local inference server with servers that mirror the OpenAI Completions and ChatCompletions APIs. - -```bash -lm_eval --model local-completions --tasks gsm8k --model_args model=facebook/opt-125m,base_url=http://{yourip}:8000/v1,num_concurrent=1,max_retries=3,tokenized_requests=False -``` -Note that for externally hosted models, configs such as `--device` and `--batch_size` should not be used and do not function. Just like you can use `--model_args` to pass arbitrary arguments to the model constructor for local models, you can use it to pass arbitrary arguments to the model API for hosted models. See the documentation of the hosting service for information on what arguments they support. - -| API or Inference Server | Implemented? | `--model ` name | Models supported: | Request Types: | -|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------| -| OpenAI Completions | :heavy_check_mark: | `openai-completions`, `local-completions` | All OpenAI Completions API models | `generate_until`, `loglikelihood`, `loglikelihood_rolling` | -| OpenAI ChatCompletions | :heavy_check_mark: | `openai-chat-completions`, `local-chat-completions` | [All ChatCompletions API models](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/gpt) | `generate_until` (no logprobs) | -| Anthropic | :heavy_check_mark: | `anthropic` | [Supported Anthropic Engines](https://docs.anthropic.com/claude/reference/selecting-a-model) | `generate_until` (no logprobs) | -| Anthropic Chat | :heavy_check_mark: | `anthropic-chat`, `anthropic-chat-completions` | [Supported Anthropic Engines](https://docs.anthropic.com/claude/docs/models-overview) | `generate_until` (no logprobs) | -| Textsynth | :heavy_check_mark: | `textsynth` | [All supported engines](https://textsynth.com/documentation.html#engines) | `generate_until`, `loglikelihood`, `loglikelihood_rolling` | -| Cohere | [:hourglass: - blocked on Cohere API bug](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness/pull/395) | N/A | [All `cohere.generate()` engines](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/models) | `generate_until`, `loglikelihood`, `loglikelihood_rolling` | -| [Llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) (via [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python)) | :heavy_check_mark: | `gguf`, `ggml` | [All models supported by llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) | `generate_until`, `loglikelihood`, (perplexity evaluation not yet implemented) | -| vLLM | :heavy_check_mark: | `vllm` | [Most HF Causal Language Models](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/models/supported_models.html) | `generate_until`, `loglikelihood`, `loglikelihood_rolling` | -| Mamba | :heavy_check_mark: | `mamba_ssm` | [Mamba architecture Language Models via the `mamba_ssm` package](https://huggingface.co/state-spaces) | `generate_until`, `loglikelihood`, `loglikelihood_rolling` | -| Huggingface Optimum (Causal LMs) | βœ”οΈ | `openvino` | Any decoder-only AutoModelForCausalLM converted with Huggingface Optimum into OpenVINOβ„’ Intermediate Representation (IR) format | `generate_until`, `loglikelihood`, `loglikelihood_rolling` | ... | -| Neuron via AWS Inf2 (Causal LMs) | βœ”οΈ | `neuronx` | Any decoder-only AutoModelForCausalLM supported to run on [huggingface-ami image for inferentia2](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-gr3e6yiscria2) | `generate_until`, `loglikelihood`, `loglikelihood_rolling` | ... | -| [Neural Magic DeepSparse](https://github.com/neuralmagic/deepsparse) | βœ”οΈ | `deepsparse` | Any LM from [SparseZoo](https://sparsezoo.neuralmagic.com/) or on [HF Hub with the "deepsparse" tag](https://huggingface.co/models?other=deepsparse) | `generate_until`, `loglikelihood` | ... | -| [Neural Magic SparseML](https://github.com/neuralmagic/sparseml) | βœ”οΈ | `sparseml` | Any decoder-only AutoModelForCausalLM from [SparseZoo](https://sparsezoo.neuralmagic.com/) or on [HF Hub](https://huggingface.co/neuralmagic).

These include [GPT-NeoX](https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox/blob/main/eval_tasks/eval_adapter.py), [Megatron-DeepSpeed](https://github.com/microsoft/Megatron-DeepSpeed/blob/main/examples/MoE/readme_evalharness.md), and [mesh-transformer-jax](https://github.com/kingoflolz/mesh-transformer-jax/blob/master/eval_harness.py). - -To create your own custom integration you can follow instructions from [this tutorial](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness/blob/main/docs/interface.md#external-library-usage). - -### Additional Features -> [!Note] -> For tasks unsuitable for direct evaluation β€” either due risks associated with executing untrusted code or complexities in the evaluation process β€” the `--predict_only` flag is available to obtain decoded generations for post-hoc evaluation. - -If you have a Metal compatible Mac, you can run the eval harness using the MPS back-end by replacing `--device cuda:0` with `--device mps` (requires PyTorch version 2.1 or higher). **Note that the PyTorch MPS backend is still in early stages of development, so correctness issues or unsupported operations may exist. If you observe oddities in model performance on the MPS back-end, we recommend first checking that a forward pass of your model on `--device cpu` and `--device mps` match.** - -> [!Note] -> You can inspect what the LM inputs look like by running the following command: -> ```bash -> python write_out.py \ -> --tasks \ -> --num_fewshot 5 \ -> --num_examples 10 \ -> --output_base_path /path/to/output/folder -> ``` -> This will write out one text file for each task. - -To verify the data integrity of the tasks you're performing in addition to running the tasks themselves, you can use the `--check_integrity` flag: - -```bash -lm_eval --model openai \ - --model_args engine=davinci \ - --tasks lambada_openai,hellaswag \ - --check_integrity -``` - -## Advanced Usage Tips - -For models loaded with the HuggingFace `transformers` library, any arguments provided via `--model_args` get passed to the relevant constructor directly. This means that anything you can do with `AutoModel` can be done with our library. For example, you can pass a local path via `pretrained=` or use models finetuned with [PEFT](https://github.com/huggingface/peft) by taking the call you would run to evaluate the base model and add `,peft=PATH` to the `model_args` argument: -```bash -lm_eval --model hf \ - --model_args pretrained=EleutherAI/gpt-j-6b,parallelize=True,load_in_4bit=True,peft=nomic-ai/gpt4all-j-lora \ - --tasks openbookqa,arc_easy,winogrande,hellaswag,arc_challenge,piqa,boolq \ - --device cuda:0 -``` - -Models provided as delta weights can be easily loaded using the Hugging Face transformers library. Within --model_args, set the delta argument to specify the delta weights, and use the pretrained argument to designate the relative base model to which they will be applied: -```bash -lm_eval --model hf \ - --model_args pretrained=Ejafa/llama_7B,delta=lmsys/vicuna-7b-delta-v1.1 \ - --tasks hellaswag -``` - -[GPTQ](https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ) quantized models can be loaded by specifying their file names in `,autogptq=NAME` (or `,autogptq=True` for default names) in the `model_args` argument: - -```bash -lm_eval --model hf \ - --model_args pretrained=model-name-or-path,autogptq=model.safetensors,gptq_use_triton=True \ - --tasks hellaswag -``` - -We support wildcards in task names, for example you can run all of the machine-translated lambada tasks via `--task lambada_openai_mt_*`. - -## Saving Results - -To save evaluation results provide an `--output_path`. We also support logging model responses with the `--log_samples` flag for post-hoc analysis. - -Additionally, one can provide a directory with `--use_cache` to cache the results of prior runs. This allows you to avoid repeated execution of the same (model, task) pairs for re-scoring. - -To push results and samples to the Hugging Face Hub, first ensure an access token with write access is set in the `HF_TOKEN` environment variable. Then, use the `--hf_hub_log_args` flag to specify the organization, repository name, repository visibility, and whether to push results and samples to the Hub - [example dataset on the HF Hub](https://huggingface.co/datasets/KonradSzafer/lm-eval-results-demo). For instance: - -```bash -lm_eval --model hf \ - --model_args pretrained=model-name-or-path,autogptq=model.safetensors,gptq_use_triton=True \ - --tasks hellaswag \ - --log_samples \ - --output_path results \ - --hf_hub_log_args hub_results_org=EleutherAI,hub_repo_name=lm-eval-results,push_results_to_hub=True,push_samples_to_hub=True,public_repo=False \ -``` - -This allows you to easily download the results and samples from the Hub, using: -```python -from datasets import load_dataset - -load_dataset("EleutherAI/lm-eval-results-private", "hellaswag", "latest") -``` - -For a full list of supported arguments, check out the [interface](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness/blob/main/docs/interface.md) guide in our documentation! - -## Visualizing Results - -You can seamlessly visualize and analyze the results of your evaluation harness runs using both Weights & Biases (W&B) and Zeno. - -### Zeno - -You can use [Zeno](https://zenoml.com) to visualize the results of your eval harness runs. - -First, head to [hub.zenoml.com](https://hub.zenoml.com) to create an account and get an API key [on your account page](https://hub.zenoml.com/account). -Add this key as an environment variable: - -```bash -export ZENO_API_KEY=[your api key] -``` - -You'll also need to install the `lm_eval[zeno]` package extra. - -To visualize the results, run the eval harness with the `log_samples` and `output_path` flags. -We expect `output_path` to contain multiple folders that represent individual model names. -You can thus run your evaluation on any number of tasks and models and upload all of the results as projects on Zeno. - -```bash -lm_eval \ +# Introduction to πŸ‡¨πŸ‡Ώ BenCzechMark Fork +Welcome to πŸ‡¨πŸ‡Ώ BenCzechMark for of [lm-evaluation-harness](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness). Official readme corresponding to the forked version is [here](README_harness.md). The main differences of this fork include: +* Extra switch for aggregating per-token log-probability with average, instead of sum. + * Useful for multichoice tasks, when choices vary in length. We have an evidence that some models (such as [BUT-FIT/csmpt7b](https://huggingface.co/BUT-FIT/csmpt7b)) tends to prefer shorter choices in such a case. + * ❗❗❗ Be sure not to use this with language modeling tasks which require __perplexity__ computation!!! + +* Smart truncation switch which prevents task description from being truncated. + * For longer samples in vanilla lm-evaluation-harness, the context gets truncated from left. This can cause troubles, as the context is constructed as follows: + ```text + + ``` + * Leftmost truncation can then delete the description altogether; we have an evidence (with [meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct)) that this can have adverse effect on the results. + * Smart truncation does the following: + * It starts with lefmost truncation for ``, + * When there are no `` left, it does leftmost truncation from `description`, followed by `current_sample`, + * When prefix (composed of ``) comes close to 20% of the defined max_input_length, the rightmost truncation from suffix is made further. + * It also works with chat_templates! (Experimental support). + +# Obtaining Results For Leaderboard Submission +- Follow standard lm-harness parameters. We recommend also using our extra functionality (smart truncation and logp averaging). To see how see **Example Usage** below. +- Be sure to specify `outputh_path` and `log_samples` parameters. Your output paths across all tasks (as matched by glob expression) are then aggregated by [compile_log_files.py](https://huggingface.co/spaces/CZLC/BenCzechMark/blob/main/compile_log_files.py) script (see [leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/CZLC/BenCzechMark) instructions). +# Example Usage +We ran all experiments on slurm cluster ([Karolina](https://www.it4i.cz/en/infrastructure/karolina), 8x 40GB A100 GPUs per node). For comprehensive survey, check out the job scripts, starting with [jobs/run_benchmark.sh](jobs/run_benchmark.sh). +We follow standard lm-harness options, together with our custom functionality described in introduction. We didn't used chat_templates. + +For executing single πŸ‡¨πŸ‡Ώ BenCzechMark task, you can run one of the following: + +```bash +# CSMPT7b on 1 GPUs +python -m accelerate.commands.launch \ + --dynamo_backend=inductor \ + -m lm_eval \ --model hf \ - --model_args pretrained=EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B \ - --tasks hellaswag \ - --device cuda:0 \ - --batch_size 8 \ + --model_args pretrained=BUT-FIT/csmpt7b,\ +dtype=bfloat16,max_length=2048,\ +truncation=True,normalize_log_probs=True,\ +trust_remote_code=True,truncate_strategy=leave_description \ + --tasks benczechmark_cs_sqad32 \ + --batch_size 2 \ + --output_path results_hf/eval_csmpt7b_benczechmark_cs_sqad32_chat_none_trunc_leave_description \ --log_samples \ - --output_path output/gpt-j-6B -``` - -Then, you can upload the resulting data using the `zeno_visualize` script: - -```bash -python scripts/zeno_visualize.py \ - --data_path output \ - --project_name "Eleuther Project" -``` - -This will use all subfolders in `data_path` as different models and upload all tasks within these model folders to Zeno. -If you run the eval harness on multiple tasks, the `project_name` will be used as a prefix and one project will be created per task. - -You can find an example of this workflow in [examples/visualize-zeno.ipynb](examples/visualize-zeno.ipynb). - -### Weights and Biases - -With the [Weights and Biases](https://wandb.ai/site) integration, you can now spend more time extracting deeper insights into your evaluation results. The integration is designed to streamline the process of logging and visualizing experiment results using the Weights & Biases (W&B) platform. - -The integration provide functionalities - -- to automatically log the evaluation results, -- log the samples as W&B Tables for easy visualization, -- log the `results.json` file as an artifact for version control, -- log the `_eval_samples.json` file if the samples are logged, -- generate a comprehensive report for analysis and visualization with all the important metric, -- log task and cli specific configs, -- and more out of the box like the command used to run the evaluation, GPU/CPU counts, timestamp, etc. - -First you'll need to install the lm_eval[wandb] package extra. Do `pip install lm_eval[wandb]`. - -Authenticate your machine with an your unique W&B token. Visit https://wandb.ai/authorize to get one. Do `wandb login` in your command line terminal. - -Run eval harness as usual with a `wandb_args` flag. Use this flag to provide arguments for initializing a wandb run ([wandb.init](https://docs.wandb.ai/ref/python/init)) as comma separated string arguments. - -```bash -lm_eval \ + --verbosity DEBUG \ + --num_fewshot 3 + +# Mistral Nemo on 8 GPUs, 1 node, using HF backend and pipeline parallelism +python -m lm_eval \ --model hf \ - --model_args pretrained=microsoft/phi-2,trust_remote_code=True \ - --tasks hellaswag,mmlu_abstract_algebra \ - --device cuda:0 \ + --model_args pretrained=mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407,\ +dtype=bfloat16,parallelize=True,max_length=2048,\ +truncation=True,normalize_log_probs=True,\ +trust_remote_code=True,truncate_strategy=leave_description \ + --tasks benczechmark_sentiment_mall \ --batch_size 8 \ - --output_path output/phi-2 \ - --limit 10 \ - --wandb_args project=lm-eval-harness-integration \ - --log_samples -``` - -In the stdout, you will find the link to the W&B run page as well as link to the generated report. You can find an example of this workflow in [examples/visualize-wandb.ipynb](examples/visualize-wandb.ipynb), and an example of how to integrate it beyond the CLI. - -## How to Contribute or Learn More? - -For more information on the library and how everything fits together, check out all of our [documentation pages](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness/tree/main/docs)! We plan to post a larger roadmap of desired + planned library improvements soon, with more information on how contributors can help. - -### Implementing new tasks - -To implement a new task in the eval harness, see [this guide](./docs/new_task_guide.md). - -In general, we follow this priority list for addressing concerns about prompting and other eval details: -1. If there is widespread agreement among people who train LLMs, use the agreed upon procedure. -2. If there is a clear and unambiguous official implementation, use that procedure. -3. If there is widespread agreement among people who evaluate LLMs, use the agreed upon procedure. -4. If there are multiple common implementations but not universal or widespread agreement, use our preferred option among the common implementations. As before, prioritize choosing from among the implementations found in LLM training papers. - -These are guidelines and not rules, and can be overruled in special circumstances. - -We try to prioritize agreement with the procedures used by other groups to decrease the harm when people inevitably compare runs across different papers despite our discouragement of the practice. Historically, we also prioritized the implementation from [Language Models are Few Shot Learners](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165) as our original goal was specifically to compare results with that paper. - -### Support - -The best way to get support is to open an issue on this repo or join the [EleutherAI Discord server](https://discord.gg/eleutherai). The `#lm-thunderdome` channel is dedicated to developing this project and the `#release-discussion` channel is for receiving support for our releases.

A detailed table is available at the end of this document. + +## Basic Usage +### User Guide + +A user guide detailing the full list of supported arguments is provided [here](./docs/interface.md), and on the terminal by calling `lm_eval -h`. Alternatively, you can use `lm-eval` instead of `lm_eval`. + +A list of supported tasks (or groupings of tasks) can be viewed with `lm-eval --tasks list`. Task descriptions and links to corresponding subfolders are provided [here](./lm_eval/tasks/README.md). + +### Hugging Face `transformers` + +To evaluate a model hosted on the [HuggingFace Hub](https://huggingface.co/models) (e.g. GPT-J-6B) on `hellaswag` you can use the following command (this assumes you are using a CUDA-compatible GPU): + +```bash +lm_eval --model hf \ + --model_args pretrained=EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B \ + --tasks hellaswag \ + --device cuda:0 \ + --batch_size 8 +``` + +Additional arguments can be provided to the model constructor using the `--model_args` flag. Most notably, this supports the common practice of using the `revisions` feature on the Hub to store partially trained checkpoints, or to specify the datatype for running a model: + +```bash +lm_eval --model hf \ + --model_args pretrained=EleutherAI/pythia-160m,revision=step100000,dtype="float" \ + --tasks lambada_openai,hellaswag \ + --device cuda:0 \ + --batch_size 8 +``` + +Models that are loaded via both `transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM` (autoregressive, decoder-only GPT style models) and `transformers.AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM` (such as encoder-decoder models like T5) in Huggingface are supported. + +Batch size selection can be automated by setting the ```--batch_size``` flag to ```auto```. This will perform automatic detection of the largest batch size that will fit on your device. On tasks where there is a large difference between the longest and shortest example, it can be helpful to periodically recompute the largest batch size, to gain a further speedup. To do this, append ```:N``` to above flag to automatically recompute the largest batch size ```N``` times. For example, to recompute the batch size 4 times, the command would be: + +```bash +lm_eval --model hf \ + --model_args pretrained=EleutherAI/pythia-160m,revision=step100000,dtype="float" \ + --tasks lambada_openai,hellaswag \ + --device cuda:0 \ + --batch_size auto:4 +``` + +> [!Note] +> Just like you can provide a local path to `transformers.AutoModel`, you can also provide a local path to `lm_eval` via `--model_args pretrained=/path/to/model` + +#### Multi-GPU Evaluation with Hugging Face `accelerate` + +We support two main ways of using Hugging Face's [accelerate πŸš€](https://github.com/huggingface/accelerate) library for multi-GPU evaluation. + +To perform *data-parallel evaluation* (where each GPU loads a **separate full copy** of the model), we leverage the `accelerate` launcher as follows: + +``` +accelerate launch -m lm_eval --model hf \ + --tasks lambada_openai,arc_easy \ + --batch_size 16 +``` +(or via `accelerate launch --no-python lm_eval`). + +For cases where your model can fit on a single GPU, this allows you to evaluate on K GPUs K times faster than on one. + +**WARNING**: This setup does not work with FSDP model sharding, so in `accelerate config` FSDP must be disabled, or the NO_SHARD FSDP option must be used. + +The second way of using `accelerate` for multi-GPU evaluation is when your model is *too large to fit on a single GPU.* + +In this setting, run the library *outside the `accelerate` launcher*, but passing `parallelize=True` to `--model_args` as follows: + +``` +lm_eval --model hf \ + --tasks lambada_openai,arc_easy \ + --model_args parallelize=True \ + --batch_size 16 +``` + +This means that your model's weights will be split across all available GPUs. + +For more advanced users or even larger models, we allow for the following arguments when `parallelize=True` as well: +- `device_map_option`: How to split model weights across available GPUs. defaults to "auto". +- `max_memory_per_gpu`: the max GPU memory to use per GPU in loading the model. +- `max_cpu_memory`: the max amount of CPU memory to use when offloading the model weights to RAM. +- `offload_folder`: a folder where model weights will be offloaded to disk if needed. + +These two options (`accelerate launch` and `parallelize=True`) are mutually exclusive. + +**Note: we do not currently support multi-node evaluations natively, and advise using either an externally hosted server to run inference requests against, or creating a custom integration with your distributed framework [as is done for the GPT-NeoX library](https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox/blob/main/eval_tasks/eval_adapter.py).** + +### NVIDIA `nemo` models + +[NVIDIA NeMo Framework](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo) is a generative AI framework built for researchers and pytorch developers working on language models. + +To evaluate a `nemo` model, start by installing NeMo following [the documentation](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo?tab=readme-ov-file#installation). We highly recommended to use the NVIDIA PyTorch or NeMo container, especially if having issues installing Apex or any other dependencies (see [latest released containers](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo/releases)). Please also install the lm evaluation harness library following the instructions in [the Install section](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#install). + +NeMo models can be obtained through [NVIDIA NGC Catalog](https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/models) or in [NVIDIA's Hugging Face page](https://huggingface.co/nvidia). In [NVIDIA NeMo Framework](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo/tree/main/scripts/nlp_language_modeling) there are conversion scripts to convert the `hf` checkpoints of popular models like llama, falcon, mixtral or mpt to `nemo`. + +Run a `nemo` model on one GPU: +```bash +lm_eval --model nemo_lm \ + --model_args path= \ + --tasks hellaswag \ + --batch_size 32 +``` + +It is recommended to unpack the `nemo` model to avoid the unpacking inside the docker container - it may overflow disk space. For that you can run: + +``` +mkdir MY_MODEL +tar -xvf MY_MODEL.nemo -c MY_MODEL +``` + +#### Multi-GPU evaluation with NVIDIA `nemo` models + +By default, only one GPU is used. But we do support either data replication or tensor/pipeline parallelism during evaluation, on one node. + +1) To enable data replication, set the `model_args` of `devices` to the number of data replicas to run. For example, the command to run 8 data replicas over 8 GPUs is: +```bash +torchrun --nproc-per-node=8 --no-python lm_eval \ + --model nemo_lm \ + --model_args path=,devices=8 \ + --tasks hellaswag \ + --batch_size 32 +``` + +2) To enable tensor and/or pipeline parallelism, set the `model_args` of `tensor_model_parallel_size` and/or `pipeline_model_parallel_size`. In addition, you also have to set up `devices` to be equal to the product of `tensor_model_parallel_size` and/or `pipeline_model_parallel_size`. For example, the command to use one node of 4 GPUs with tensor parallelism of 2 and pipeline parallelism of 2 is: +```bash +torchrun --nproc-per-node=4 --no-python lm_eval \ + --model nemo_lm \ + --model_args path=,devices=4,tensor_model_parallel_size=2,pipeline_model_parallel_size=2 \ + --tasks hellaswag \ + --batch_size 32 +``` +Note that it is recommended to substitute the `python` command by `torchrun --nproc-per-node= --no-python` to facilitate loading the model into the GPUs. This is especially important for large checkpoints loaded into multiple GPUs. + +Not supported yet: multi-node evaluation and combinations of data replication with tensor or pipeline parallelism. + +### Tensor + Data Parallel and Optimized Inference with `vLLM` + +We also support vLLM for faster inference on [supported model types](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/models/supported_models.html), especially faster when splitting a model across multiple GPUs. For single-GPU or multi-GPU β€” tensor parallel, data parallel, or a combination of both β€” inference, for example: + +```bash +lm_eval --model vllm \ + --model_args pretrained={model_name},tensor_parallel_size={GPUs_per_model},dtype=auto,gpu_memory_utilization=0.8,data_parallel_size={model_replicas} \ + --tasks lambada_openai \ + --batch_size auto +``` +To use vllm, do `pip install lm_eval[vllm]`. For a full list of supported vLLM configurations, please reference our [vLLM integration](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness/blob/e74ec966556253fbe3d8ecba9de675c77c075bce/lm_eval/models/vllm_causallms.py) and the vLLM documentation. + +vLLM occasionally differs in output from Huggingface. We treat Huggingface as the reference implementation, and provide a [script](./scripts/model_comparator.py) for checking the validity of vllm results against HF. + +> [!Tip] +> For fastest performance, we recommend using `--batch_size auto` for vLLM whenever possible, to leverage its continuous batching functionality! + +> [!Tip] +> Passing `max_model_len=4096` or some other reasonable default to vLLM through model args may cause speedups or prevent out-of-memory errors when trying to use auto batch size, such as for Mistral-7B-v0.1 which defaults to a maximum length of 32k. + +### Model APIs and Inference Servers + +Our library also supports the evaluation of models served via several commercial APIs, and we hope to implement support for the most commonly used performant local/self-hosted inference servers. + +To call a hosted model, use: + +```bash +export OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY_HERE +lm_eval --model openai-completions \ + --model_args model=davinci \ + --tasks lambada_openai,hellaswag +``` + +We also support using your own local inference server with servers that mirror the OpenAI Completions and ChatCompletions APIs. + +```bash +lm_eval --model local-completions --tasks gsm8k --model_args model=facebook/opt-125m,base_url=http://{yourip}:8000/v1,num_concurrent=1,max_retries=3,tokenized_requests=False +``` +Note that for externally hosted models, configs such as `--device` and `--batch_size` should not be used and do not function. Just like you can use `--model_args` to pass arbitrary arguments to the model constructor for local models, you can use it to pass arbitrary arguments to the model API for hosted models.

These include [GPT-NeoX](https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox/blob/main/eval_tasks/eval_adapter.py), [Megatron-DeepSpeed](https://github.com/microsoft/Megatron-DeepSpeed/blob/main/examples/MoE/readme_evalharness.md), and [mesh-transformer-jax](https://github.com/kingoflolz/mesh-transformer-jax/blob/master/eval_harness.py). + +To create your own custom integration you can follow instructions from [this tutorial](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness/blob/main/docs/interface.md#external-library-usage). + +### Additional Features +> [!Note] +> For tasks unsuitable for direct evaluation β€” either due risks associated with executing untrusted code or complexities in the evaluation process β€” the `--predict_only` flag is available to obtain decoded generations for post-hoc evaluation. + +If you have a Metal compatible Mac, you can run the eval harness using the MPS back-end by replacing `--device cuda:0` with `--device mps` (requires PyTorch version 2.1 or higher). **Note that the PyTorch MPS backend is still in early stages of development, so correctness issues or unsupported operations may exist. If you observe oddities in model performance on the MPS back-end, we recommend first checking that a forward pass of your model on `--device cpu` and `--device mps` match.** + +> [!Note] +> You can inspect what the LM inputs look like by running the following command: +> ```bash +> python write_out.py \ +> --tasks \ +> --num_fewshot 5 \ +> --num_examples 10 \ +> --output_base_path /path/to/output/folder +> ``` +> This will write out one text file for each task. + +To verify the data integrity of the tasks you're performing in addition to running the tasks themselves, you can use the `--check_integrity` flag: + +```bash +lm_eval --model openai \ + --model_args engine=davinci \ + --tasks lambada_openai,hellaswag \ + --check_integrity +``` + +## Advanced Usage Tips + +For models loaded with the HuggingFace `transformers` library, any arguments provided via `--model_args` get passed to the relevant constructor directly. This means that anything you can do with `AutoModel` can be done with our library. For example, you can pass a local path via `pretrained=` or use models finetuned with [PEFT](https://github.com/huggingface/peft) by taking the call you would run to evaluate the base model and add `,peft=PATH` to the `model_args` argument: +```bash +lm_eval --model hf \ + --model_args pretrained=EleutherAI/gpt-j-6b,parallelize=True,load_in_4bit=True,peft=nomic-ai/gpt4all-j-lora \ + --tasks openbookqa,arc_easy,winogrande,hellaswag,arc_challenge,piqa,boolq \ + --device cuda:0 +``` + +Models provided as delta weights can be easily loaded using the Hugging Face transformers library. Within --model_args, set the delta argument to specify the delta weights, and use the pretrained argument to designate the relative base model to which they will be applied: +```bash +lm_eval --model hf \ + --model_args pretrained=Ejafa/llama_7B,delta=lmsys/vicuna-7b-delta-v1.1 \ + --tasks hellaswag +``` + +[GPTQ](https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ) quantized models can be loaded by specifying their file names in `,autogptq=NAME` (or `,autogptq=True` for default names) in the `model_args` argument: + +```bash +lm_eval --model hf \ + --model_args pretrained=model-name-or-path,autogptq=model.safetensors,gptq_use_triton=True \ + --tasks hellaswag +``` + +We support wildcards in task names, for example you can run all of the machine-translated lambada tasks via `--task lambada_openai_mt_*`. + +## Saving Results + +To save evaluation results provide an `--output_path`. We also support logging model responses with the `--log_samples` flag for post-hoc analysis. + +Additionally, one can provide a directory with `--use_cache` to cache the results of prior runs. This allows you to avoid repeated execution of the same (model, task) pairs for re-scoring. + +To push results and samples to the Hugging Face Hub, first ensure an access token with write access is set in the `HF_TOKEN` environment variable. Then, use the `--hf_hub_log_args` flag to specify the organization, repository name, repository visibility, and whether to push results and samples to the Hub - [example dataset on the HF Hub](https://huggingface.co/datasets/KonradSzafer/lm-eval-results-demo). For instance: + +```bash +lm_eval --model hf \ + --model_args pretrained=model-name-or-path,autogptq=model.safetensors,gptq_use_triton=True \ + --tasks hellaswag \ + --log_samples \ + --output_path results \ + --hf_hub_log_args hub_results_org=EleutherAI,hub_repo_name=lm-eval-results,push_results_to_hub=True,push_samples_to_hub=True,public_repo=False \ +``` + +This allows you to easily download the results and samples from the Hub, using: +```python +from datasets import load_dataset + +load_dataset("EleutherAI/lm-eval-results-private", "hellaswag", "latest") +``` + +For a full list of supported arguments, check out the [interface](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness/blob/main/docs/interface.md) guide in our documentation! + +## Visualizing Results + +You can seamlessly visualize and analyze the results of your evaluation harness runs using both Weights & Biases (W&B) and Zeno. + +### Zeno + +You can use [Zeno](https://zenoml.com) to visualize the results of your eval harness runs. + +First, head to [hub.zenoml.com](https://hub.zenoml.com) to create an account and get an API key [on your account page](https://hub.zenoml.com/account). +Add this key as an environment variable: + +```bash +export ZENO_API_KEY=[your api key] +``` + +You'll also need to install the `lm_eval[zeno]` package extra. + +To visualize the results, run the eval harness with the `log_samples` and `output_path` flags. +We expect `output_path` to contain multiple folders that represent individual model names. +You can thus run your evaluation on any number of tasks and models and upload all of the results as projects on Zeno. + +```bash +lm_eval \ + --model hf \ + --model_args pretrained=EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B \ + --tasks hellaswag \ + --device cuda:0 \ + --batch_size 8 \ + --log_samples \ + --output_path output/gpt-j-6B +``` + +Then, you can upload the resulting data using the `zeno_visualize` script: + +```bash +python scripts/zeno_visualize.py \ + --data_path output \ + --project_name "Eleuther Project" +``` + +This will use all subfolders in `data_path` as different models and upload all tasks within these model folders to Zeno. +If you run the eval harness on multiple tasks, the `project_name` will be used as a prefix and one project will be created per task. + +You can find an example of this workflow in [examples/visualize-zeno.ipynb](examples/visualize-zeno.ipynb). + +### Weights and Biases + +With the [Weights and Biases](https://wandb.ai/site) integration, you can now spend more time extracting deeper insights into your evaluation results. The integration is designed to streamline the process of logging and visualizing experiment results using the Weights & Biases (W&B) platform. + +The integration provide functionalities + +- to automatically log the evaluation results, +- log the samples as W&B Tables for easy visualization, +- log the `results.json` file as an artifact for version control, +- log the `_eval_samples.json` file if the samples are logged, +- generate a comprehensive report for analysis and visualization with all the important metric, +- log task and cli specific configs, +- and more out of the box like the command used to run the evaluation, GPU/CPU counts, timestamp, etc. + +First you'll need to install the lm_eval[wandb] package extra. Do `pip install lm_eval[wandb]`. + +Authenticate your machine with an your unique W&B token. Visit https://wandb.ai/authorize to get one. Do `wandb login` in your command line terminal. + +Run eval harness as usual with a `wandb_args` flag. Use this flag to provide arguments for initializing a wandb run ([wandb.init](https://docs.wandb.ai/ref/python/init)) as comma separated string arguments. + +```bash +lm_eval \ + --model hf \ + --model_args pretrained=microsoft/phi-2,trust_remote_code=True \ + --tasks hellaswag,mmlu_abstract_algebra \ + --device cuda:0 \ + --batch_size 8 \ + --output_path output/phi-2 \ + --limit 10 \ + --wandb_args project=lm-eval-harness-integration \ + --log_samples +``` + +In the stdout, you will find the link to the W&B run page as well as link to the generated report. You can find an example of this workflow in [examples/visualize-wandb.ipynb](examples/visualize-wandb.ipynb), and an example of how to integrate it beyond the CLI. + +## How to Contribute or Learn More? + +For more information on the library and how everything fits together, check out all of our [documentation pages](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness/tree/main/docs)! We plan to post a larger roadmap of desired + planned library improvements soon, with more information on how contributors can help. + +### Implementing new tasks + +To implement a new task in the eval harness, see [this guide](./docs/new_task_guide.md). + +In general, we follow this priority list for addressing concerns about prompting and other eval details: +1. If there is widespread agreement among people who train LLMs, use the agreed upon procedure. +2. If there is a clear and unambiguous official implementation, use that procedure. +3. If there is widespread agreement among people who evaluate LLMs, use the agreed upon procedure. +4. If there are multiple common implementations but not universal or widespread agreement, use our preferred option among the common implementations. As before, prioritize choosing from among the implementations found in LLM training papers. + +These are guidelines and not rules, and can be overruled in special circumstances. + +We try to prioritize agreement with the procedures used by other groups to decrease the harm when people inevitably compare runs across different papers despite our discouragement of the practice. Historically, we also prioritized the implementation from [Language Models are Few Shot Learners](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165) as our original goal was specifically to compare results with that paper. + +### Support + +The best way to get support is to open an issue on this repo or join the [EleutherAI Discord server](https://discord.gg/eleutherai). The `#lm-thunderdome` channel is dedicated to developing this project and the `#release-discussion` channel is for receiving support for our releases.
