This repository contains a lightweight library for evaluating language models.
We are open sourcing it so we can be transparent about the accuracy numbers we're publishing alongside our latest models (starting with gpt-4-turbo-2024-04-09).
Evals are sensitive to prompting, and there's significant variation in the formulations used in recent publications and libraries. Some use few-shot prompts or role playing prompts ("You are an expert software programmer..."). These approaches are carryovers from evaluating base models (rather than instruction/chat-tuned models) and from models that were worse at following instructions.
For this library, we are emphasizing the zero-shot, chain-of-thought setting, with simple instructions like "Solve the following multiple choice problem". We believe that this prompting technique is a better reflection of the models' performance in realistic usage.
We will not be actively maintaining this repository and monitoring PRs and Issues. In particular, we're not accepting new evals. Here are the changes we might accept.
- Bug fixes (hopefully not needed!)
- Adding adapters for new models
- Adding new rows to the table below with eval results, given new models and new system prompts.
This repository is NOT intended as a replacement for https://github.com/openai/evals, which is designed to be a comprehensive collection of a large number of evals.
This repository currently contains the following evals:

We have implemented sampling interfaces for the following language model APIs:
Make sure to set the *_API_KEY environment variables before using these APIs.
Due to the optional dependencies, we're not providing a unified setup mechanism. Instead, we're providing instructions for each eval and sampler.
For HumanEval (python programming)
git clone https://github.com/openai/human-eval
pip install -e human-evalFor the OpenAI API:
pip install openaiFor the Anthropic API:
pip install anthropicpython -m simple-evals.demoThis will launch evaluations through the OpenAI API.
