Choose athina-evals if…
- Tags unique to athina-evals: evaluation-framework, evaluation-metrics, llm-eval, llm-evaluation.
- When comprehensive evaluation of LLM responses is required, leveraging athina's specific tools and metrics
- Leaner open-issue backlog (3).
When NOT to use 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
Choose simple-evals if…
- Tags unique to simple-evals: benchmark, depreciation notice, language-models.
- When you need a stable baseline to evaluate model performance with specific benchmarks like MMLU, HumanEval, and DROP that won't change after July 2025
- More GitHub stars (4.6k vs 301) - visibility, not fit.
When NOT to use simple-evals
- For evaluating models released or significantly updated after July 2025, as this tool does not include future benchmarks
- When you need a tool that will adapt and expand its benchmark set with emerging model releases and evaluation tasks beyond 2025
