Choose bigcode-evaluation-harness if…
- License: bigcode-evaluation-harness is Apache-2.0, Open-LLM-Leaderboard is CC-BY-4.0.
- Requirements: Users must have Docker installed to leverage the isolated execution environments for model output evaluation..
- Tags unique to bigcode-evaluation-harness: autoregressive-models, code-generation, docker, python.
- bigcode-evaluation-harness ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you need to isolate the evaluation environment from your local development setup, ensuring that no external variables affect the outcomes of model performance assessments.
When NOT to use bigcode-evaluation-harness
- When you require real-time evaluation without the overhead of generating outputs locally and then evaluating them within isolated environments via Docker.
- If your model's evaluation process does not necessitate autoregressive setup or the security features provided by Docker, using bigcode-evaluation-harness might introduce unnecessary complexity.
Choose Open-LLM-Leaderboard if…
- License: Open-LLM-Leaderboard is CC-BY-4.0, bigcode-evaluation-harness is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to Open-LLM-Leaderboard: leaderboard, llm-evaluation, model-performance-tracking, open-style-questions.
- You need to evaluate your LLM's performance on open-ended, human-like question formats across multiple datasets without setting up the evaluation process yourself.
When NOT to use Open-LLM-Leaderboard
- You are seeking evaluations solely based on closed-response or multiple-choice questions where specific answers can be easily verified by non-LLM means.
- Your project has constraints against using commercial LLMs like GPT-4 for evaluation due to cost, licensing issues, or the need for open-source alternatives.
