Ensure Python version 3.11 is used, as specified in the README excerpt.; A conda environment named 'MixEval' must be created and activated.. - Tags unique to MixEval: benchmark, evaluation-framework, foundation-models, large language models. - You need to evaluate LLMs and multimodal models within the same framework, as MixEval is designed with support for both types of models. ## When NOT to use deepeval - For small-scale applications that do not require the depth of metrics and evaluations offered by Deepeval, as it might be overkill. - In situations where there is a need for real-time performance monitoring, since Deepeval focuses more on post-development evaluation rather than continuous runtime analysis. ## When NOT to use MixEval - You are looking for a lightweight solution since MixEval focuses on providing exhaustive evaluation with extensive benchmarking possibilities which may increase complexity. - Your primary focus is on models outside the scope of LLMs or multimodal systems, as MixEval primarily targets these specific types of AI architectures. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between deepeval and MixEval? deepeval: LLM Evaluation Framework..
