    Evaluation Framework Overview

    Supported Evaluation Frameworks

    The platform provides three mainstream evaluation frameworks: lm-evaluation-harness, OpenCompass, and EvalScope.

    Framework Comparison

    Feature lm-evaluation-harness OpenCompass EvalScope
    Task Scope Global (primarily English) Special focus on Chinese Special focus on Chinese
    Model Support Open-source + API models Open-source + domestic commercial models Open-source + domestic commercial models
    Best For Academic research, English model comparison Chinese tasks, domestic/international model comparison Chinese tasks, newer datasets
    Extensibility High, more technical User-friendly User-friendly

    lm-evaluation-harness

    A Python evaluation tool developed by EleutherAI, providing standardized evaluation pipelines and supporting multiple NLP tasks (text generation, fill-in-the-blank, Q&A, translation). Best suited for English or global academic research.

    Built-in benchmarks (partial): MMLU, HellaSwag, ARC, TruthfulQA, WinoGrande, and more.

    OpenCompass

    An open-source evaluation framework specifically optimized for Chinese large language model evaluation, supporting Chinese benchmarks (e.g., CEVAL, CLUE) and compatible with mainstream domestic models. Suitable for Chinese task evaluation.

    Built-in benchmarks (partial): C-Eval, CMMLU, MMLU, GSM8K, HumanEval, and more.

    EvalScope

    An evaluation framework from the ModelScope community with built-in MMLU, CMMLU, C-Eval, GSM8K, and other benchmarks. Supports large language models, multimodal models, Embedding models, and AIGC models. Suitable for Chinese tasks with newer datasets.

    Built-in benchmarks (partial): C-Eval, CMMLU, MMLU, GSM8K, ARC, HellaSwag, and more.

    How to Choose a Framework

    • Evaluating English models or conducting academic comparisons → Recommend lm-evaluation-harness
    • Evaluating Chinese models focused on domestic benchmarks → Recommend OpenCompass or EvalScope
    • Using custom datasets → All three frameworks support this; refer to Custom Evaluation Datasets
