When should I avoid athina-evals?

If open-source alternatives with transparent customization options are preferred over athina-evals' approach In scenarios where API access requirements limit the ability to perform evaluations offline or in private environments

When should I avoid BIG-bench?

If you are looking for a tool that simplifies benchmarking with minimal configuration, BIG-bench requires setting up an environment and can be more complex compared to streamlined benchmark tools. As BIG-bench relies on collaboration across various tasks and contributions from the community, it might not be ideal if you need benchmark tasks or evaluations immediately available without potential If your project does not require advanced extrapolation techniques for measuring model capabilities over a wide range of benchmarks, simpler evaluation tools may suffice.
