### Adding a Custom Task
https://huggingface.co/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/adding-a-custom-task.md

# Adding a Custom Task

Lighteval provides a flexible framework for creating custom evaluation tasks. This guide explains how to create and integrate new tasks into the evaluation system.

## Step-by-Step Creation of a Task

> [!WARNING]
> To contribute your task to the Lighteval repository, you would first need
> to install the required dev dependencies by running `pip install -e .[dev]`
> and then run `pre-commit install` to install the pre-commit hooks.

### Step 1: Create the Task File

First, create a Python file or directory under the `src/lighteval/tasks/tasks` directory.
A directory is helpfull if you need to split your file into multiple ones, just make sure to have one of the file named `main.py`.

### Step 2: Define the Prompt Function

You need to define a prompt function that will convert a line from your
dataset to a document to be used for evaluation.

```python
from lighteval.tasks.requests import Doc

# Define as many as you need for your different tasks
def prompt_fn(line: dict, task_name: str):
    """Defines how to go from a dataset line to a doc object.
    Follow examples in src/lighteval/tasks/default_prompts.py, or get more info
    about what this function should do in the README.
    """
    return Doc(
        task_name=task_name,
        query=line["question"],
        choices=[f" {c}" for c in line["choices"]],
        gold_index=line["gold"],
    )
```

### Step 3: Choose or Create Metrics

You can either use an existing metric (defined in `lighteval.metrics.metrics.Metrics`) or [create a custom one](adding-a-new-metric).

#### Using Existing Metrics

```python
from lighteval.metrics import Metrics

# Use an existing metric
metric = Metrics.ACCURACY
```

#### Creating Custom Metrics

```python
from lighteval.metrics.utils.metric_utils import SampleLevelMetric
import numpy as np

custom_metric = SampleLevelMetric(
    metric_name="my_custom_metric_name",
    higher_is_better=True,
    category="accuracy",
    sample_level_fn=lambda x: x,  # How to compute score for one sample
    corpus_level_fn=np.mean,  # How to aggregate the sample metrics
)
```

### Step 4: Define Your Task

You can define a task with or without subsets using [LightevalTaskConfig](/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/en/package_reference/tasks#lighteval.tasks.lighteval_task.LightevalTaskConfig).

#### Simple Task (No Subsets)

```python
from lighteval.tasks.lighteval_task import LightevalTaskConfig

# This is how you create a simple task (like HellaSwag) which has one single subset
# attached to it, and one evaluation possible.
task = LightevalTaskConfig(
    name="myothertask",
    prompt_function=prompt_fn,  # Must be defined in the file or imported
    hf_repo="your_dataset_repo_on_hf",
    hf_subset="default",
    hf_avail_splits=["train", "test"],
    evaluation_splits=["test"],
    few_shots_split="train",
    few_shots_select="random_sampling_from_train",
    metrics=[metric],  # Select your metric in Metrics
    generation_size=256,
    stop_sequence=["\n", "Question:"],
)
```

#### Task with Multiple Subsets

If you want to create a task with multiple subsets, add them to the
`SAMPLE_SUBSETS` list and create a task for each subset.

```python
SAMPLE_SUBSETS = ["subset1", "subset2", "subset3"]  # List of all the subsets to use for this eval

class CustomSubsetTask(LightevalTaskConfig):
    def __init__(
        self,
        name,
        hf_subset,
    ):
        super().__init__(
            name=name,
            hf_subset=hf_subset,
            prompt_function=prompt_fn,  # Must be defined in the file or imported
            hf_repo="your_dataset_name",
            metrics=[custom_metric],  # Select your metric in Metrics or use your custom_metric
            hf_avail_splits=["train", "test"],
            evaluation_splits=["test"],
            few_shots_split="train",
            few_shots_select="random_sampling_from_train",
            generation_size=256,
            stop_sequence=["\n", "Question:"],
        )

SUBSET_TASKS = [CustomSubsetTask(name=f"task:{subset}", hf_subset=subset) for subset in SAMPLE_SUBSETS]
```

### Step 5: Add Tasks to the Table

Then you need to add your task to the `TASKS_TABLE` list.

```python
# STORE YOUR EVALS

# Tasks with subsets:
TASKS_TABLE = SUBSET_TASKS

# Tasks without subsets:
# TASKS_TABLE = [task]
```

### Step 6: Creating a requirement file

If your task has requirements, you need to create a `requirement.txt` file with
only the required dependencies so that anyone can run your task.

## Running Your Custom Task

Once your file is created, you can run the evaluation with the following command:

```bash
lighteval accelerate \
    "model_name=HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta" \
    {task} \
    --custom-tasks {path_to_your_custom_task_file}
```

### Example Usage

```bash
# Run a custom task with 3 shot evaluation
lighteval accelerate \
    "model_name=openai-community/gpt2" \
    "myothertask|3" \
    --custom-tasks community_tasks/my_custom_task.py
```

### Using Hugging Face Inference Endpoints or TGI as Backend
https://huggingface.co/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/use-huggingface-inference-endpoints-or-tgi-as-backend.md

# Using Hugging Face Inference Endpoints or TGI as Backend

An alternative to launching the evaluation locally is to serve the model on a
TGI-compatible server/container and then run the evaluation by sending requests
to the server. The command is the same as before, except you specify a path to
a YAML configuration file (detailed below):

```bash
lighteval endpoint {tgi,inference-endpoint} \
    "/path/to/config/file" \
    
```

There are two types of configuration files that can be provided for running on
the server:

## Hugging Face Inference Endpoints

To launch a model using Hugging Face's Inference Endpoints, you need to provide
the following file: `endpoint_model.yaml`. Lighteval will automatically deploy
the endpoint, run the evaluation, and finally delete the endpoint (unless you
specify an endpoint that was already launched, in which case the endpoint won't
be deleted afterwards).

### Configuration File Example

```yaml
model_parameters:
    reuse_existing: false # If true, ignore all params in instance, and don't delete the endpoint after evaluation
    # endpoint_name: "llama-2-7B-lighteval" # Needs to be lowercase without special characters
    model_name: "meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf"
    revision: "main"  # Defaults to "main"
    dtype: "float16" # Can be any of "awq", "eetq", "gptq", "4bit" or "8bit" (will use bitsandbytes), "bfloat16" or "float16"
    accelerator: "gpu"
    region: "eu-west-1"
    vendor: "aws"
    instance_type: "nvidia-a10g"
    instance_size: "x1"
    framework: "pytorch"
    endpoint_type: "protected"
    namespace: null # The namespace under which to launch the endpoint. Defaults to the current user's namespace
    image_url: null # Optionally specify the docker image to use when launching the endpoint model. E.g., launching models with later releases of the TGI container with support for newer models.
    env_vars: null # Optional environment variables to include when launching the endpoint. e.g., `MAX_INPUT_LENGTH: 2048`
```

## Text Generation Inference (TGI)

To use a model already deployed on a TGI server, for example on Hugging Face's
serverless inference.

### Configuration File Example

```yaml
model_parameters:
    inference_server_address: ""
    inference_server_auth: null
    model_id: null # Optional, only required if the TGI container was launched with model_id pointing to a local directory
```

## Key Parameters

### Hugging Face Inference Endpoints

#### Model Configuration
- `model_name`: The Hugging Face model ID to deploy
- `revision`: Model revision (defaults to "main")
- `dtype`: Data type for model weights ("float16", "bfloat16", "4bit", "8bit", etc.)
- `framework`: Framework to use ("pytorch", "tensorflow")

#### Infrastructure Settings
- `accelerator`: Hardware accelerator ("gpu", "cpu")
- `region`: AWS region for deployment
- `vendor`: Cloud vendor ("aws", "azure", "gcp")
- `instance_type`: Instance type (e.g., "nvidia-a10g", "nvidia-t4")
- `instance_size`: Instance size ("x1", "x2", etc.)

#### Endpoint Configuration
- `endpoint_type`: Endpoint access level ("public", "protected", "private")
- `namespace`: Organization namespace for deployment
- `reuse_existing`: Whether to reuse an existing endpoint
- `endpoint_name`: Custom endpoint name (lowercase, no special characters)

#### Advanced Settings
- `image_url`: Custom Docker image URL
- `env_vars`: Environment variables for the endpoint

### Text Generation Inference (TGI)

#### Server Configuration
- `inference_server_address`: URL of the TGI server
- `inference_server_auth`: Authentication credentials
- `model_id`: Model identifier (if using local model directory)

## Usage Examples

### Deploying a New Inference Endpoint

```bash
lighteval endpoint inference-endpoint \
    "configs/endpoint_model.yaml" \
    gsm8k
```

### Using an Existing TGI Server

```bash
lighteval endpoint tgi \
    "configs/tgi_server.yaml" \
    gsm8k
```

### Reusing an Existing Endpoint

```yaml
model_parameters:
    reuse_existing: true
    endpoint_name: "my-existing-endpoint"
    # Other parameters will be ignored when reuse_existing is true
```

## Cost Management

### Inference Endpoints
- Endpoints are automatically deleted after evaluation (unless `reuse_existing: true`)
- Costs are based on instance type and runtime
- Monitor usage in the [Hugging Face billing dashboard](https://huggingface.co/settings/billing)

### TGI Servers
- No additional costs beyond your existing server infrastructure
- Useful for cost-effective evaluation of already-deployed models

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Endpoint Deployment Failures**: Check instance availability in your region
2. **Authentication Errors**: Ensure proper Hugging Face token permissions
3. **Model Loading Errors**: Verify model name and revision are correct
4. **Resource Constraints**: Choose appropriate instance type for your model size

### Performance Tips

- Use appropriate instance types for your model size
- Consider using quantized models (4bit, 8bit) for cost savings
- Reuse existing endpoints for multiple evaluations
- Use serverless TGI for cost-effective evaluation

### Error Handling

Common error messages and solutions:
- **"Instance not available"**: Try a different region or instance type
- **"Model not found"**: Check the model name and revision
- **"Insufficient permissions"**: Verify your Hugging Face token has endpoint deployment permissions
- **"Endpoint already exists"**: Use `reuse_existing: true` or choose a different endpoint name

For more detailed information about Hugging Face Inference Endpoints, see the [official documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/inference-endpoints/).

### Contributing to Multilingual Evaluations
https://huggingface.co/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/contributing-to-multilingual-evaluations.md

# Contributing to Multilingual Evaluations

Lighteval supports multilingual evaluations through a comprehensive system of translation literals and language-adapted templates.

## Contributing Translation Literals

### What Are Translation Literals?

We define 19 `literals`, basic keywords or punctuation signs used when creating evaluation prompts in an automatic manner, such as `yes`, `no`, `because`, etc.

These literals are essential for:
- **Consistent prompt formatting** across languages
- **Automatic prompt generation** for multilingual tasks
- **Proper localization** of evaluation templates

### How to Contribute Translations

We welcome translations in your language! To contribute:

1. **Open the translation literals file**: [translation_literals.py](https://github.com/huggingface/lighteval/blob/main/src/lighteval/tasks/templates/utils/translation_literals.py)

2. **Edit the file** to add or expand the literal for your language of interest

3. **Open a PR** with your modifications

### Translation Literals Structure

```python
Language.ENGLISH: TranslationLiterals(
    language=Language.ENGLISH,
    question_word="question",  # Usage: "Question: How are you?"
    answer="answer",  # Usage: "Answer: I am fine"
    confirmation_word="right",  # Usage: "He is smart, right?"
    yes="yes",  # Usage: "Yes, he is"
    no="no",  # Usage: "No, he is not"
    also="also",  # Usage: "Also, she is smart."
    cause_word="because",  # Usage: "She is smart, because she is tall"
    effect_word="therefore",  # Usage: "He is tall therefore he is smart"
    or_word="or",  # Usage: "He is tall or small"
    true="true",  # Usage: "He is smart, true, false or neither?"
    false="false",  # Usage: "He is smart, true, false or neither?"
    neither="neither",  # Usage: "He is smart, true, false or neither?"
    # Punctuation and spacing: only adjust if your language uses something different than in English
    full_stop=".",
    comma=",",
    question_mark="?",
    exclamation_mark="!",
    word_space=" ",
    sentence_space=" ",
    colon=":",
    # The first characters of your alphabet used in enumerations, if different from English
    indices=["A", "B", "C", ...]
)
```

## Contributing New Multilingual Tasks

### Prerequisites

Before creating a new multilingual task, you should:

1. **Read the custom task guide**: [Adding a Custom Task](adding-a-custom-task)
2. **Understand multilingual task structure**: Review the [multilingual tasks](https://github.com/huggingface/lighteval/blob/main/src/lighteval/tasks/multilingual/tasks.py) file
3. **Browse available templates**: Check the [templates directory](https://github.com/huggingface/lighteval/tree/main/src/lighteval/tasks/templates)

### Key Concepts

#### Language-Adapted Templates
For multilingual evaluations, the `prompt_function` should be implemented using language-adapted templates. These templates handle:
- **Correct formatting** for each language
- **Consistent usage** of language-adjusted prompt anchors (e.g., Question/Answer)
- **Proper punctuation** and spacing conventions

#### Template Types
Available template types include:
- **XNLI**: Natural language inference tasks - [`get_nli_prompt_function`](https://github.com/huggingface/lighteval/blob/main/src/lighteval/tasks/templates/nli.py#L162)
- **COPA**: Causal reasoning tasks - [`get_copa_prompt_function`](https://github.com/huggingface/lighteval/blob/main/src/lighteval/tasks/templates/copa.py#L76)
- **Multiple Choice**: Standard multiple choice questions - [`get_mcq_prompt_function`](https://github.com/huggingface/lighteval/blob/main/src/lighteval/tasks/templates/multichoice.py#L81)
- **Question Answering**: Open-ended question answering - [`get_qa_prompt_function`](https://github.com/huggingface/lighteval/blob/main/src/lighteval/tasks/templates/qa.py#L46)
- **Custom**: Specialized task templates

#### Formulation Types

##### Multiple Choice Formulation (MCF)
Used for standard multiple choice questions where the model selects from lettered options:
```python
MCFFormulation()
```

**Example output:**
```
Question: What is the capital of France?
A. London
B. Paris
C. Berlin
D. Rome
Answer: | A/B/C/D
```

##### Classification Formulation (CF)
Used for classification tasks where the model generates the answer directly:
```python
CFFormulation()
```

**Example output:**
```
Question: What is the capital of France?
Answer: | Paris
```

##### Hybrid Formulation
Used for tasks that present choices but expect the full answer text:
```python
HybridFormulation()
```

**Example output:**
```
Question: What is the capital of France?
A. London
B. Paris
C. Berlin
D. Rome
Answer: | Paris
```

### Creating Your Multilingual Task

#### Step 1: Create the Task File
Create a Python file following the custom task guide structure.

#### Step 2: Import Required Components
```python
from lighteval.tasks.lighteval_task import LightevalTaskConfig
from lighteval.tasks.multilingual.language import Language
from lighteval.tasks.multilingual.formulations import MCFFormulation, CFFormulation, HybridFormulation
from lighteval.tasks.multilingual.templates import get_template_prompt_function
from lighteval.tasks.multilingual.metrics import get_metrics_for_formulation, loglikelihood_acc_metric
from lighteval.tasks.multilingual.normalization import LogProbTokenNorm, LogProbCharNorm
```

#### Step 3: Define Your Tasks
```python
your_tasks = [
    LightevalTaskConfig(
        # Name of your evaluation
        name=f"evalname_{language.value}_{formulation.name.lower()}",
        # This will automatically get the correct metrics for your chosen formulation
        metric=get_metrics_for_formulation(
            formulation,
            [
                LogLikelihoodAccMetric(normalization=None),
                LogLikelihoodAccMetric(normalization=LogProbTokenNorm()),
                LogLikelihoodAccMetric(normalization=LogProbCharNorm()),
            ],
        ),
        # In this function, you choose which template to follow and for which language and formulation
        prompt_function=get_template_prompt_function(
            language=language,
            # Use the adapter to define the mapping between the
            # keys of the template (left), and the keys of your dataset
            # (right)
            # To know which template keys are required and available,
            # consult the appropriate adapter type and doc-string.
            adapter=lambda line: {
                "key": line["relevant_key"],
                # Add more mappings as needed
            },
            formulation=formulation,
        ),
        # You can also add specific filters to remove irrelevant samples
        hf_filter=lambda line: line["label"] in ,
        # You then select your huggingface dataset as well as
        # the splits available for evaluation
        hf_repo=,
        hf_subset=,
        evaluation_splits=["train"],
        hf_avail_splits=["train"],
    )
    for language in [
        Language.YOUR_LANGUAGE,  # Add your target languages
        # Language.SPANISH,
        # Language.FRENCH,
        # etc.
    ]
    for formulation in [MCFFormulation(), CFFormulation(), HybridFormulation()]
]
```

#### Step 4: Test Your Implementation
Follow the custom task guide to test if your task is correctly implemented.

> [!TIP]
> All [LightevalTaskConfig](/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/en/package_reference/tasks#lighteval.tasks.lighteval_task.LightevalTaskConfig) parameters are strongly typed, including the inputs to the template function. Make sure to take advantage of your IDE's functionality to make it easier to correctly fill these parameters.

### Validation Checklist

### Using SGLang as Backend
https://huggingface.co/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/use-sglang-as-backend.md

# Using SGLang as Backend

Lighteval allows you to use SGLang as a backend, providing significant speedups for model evaluation.
To use SGLang, simply change the `model_args` to reflect the arguments you want to pass to SGLang.

## Basic Usage

```bash
lighteval sglang \
    "model_name=HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta,dtype=float16" \
    truthfulqa:mc
```

## Parallelism Options

SGLang can distribute the model across multiple GPUs using data parallelism and tensor parallelism.
You can choose the parallelism method by setting the appropriate parameters in the `model_args`.

### Tensor Parallelism

For example, if you have 4 GPUs, you can split the model across them using tensor parallelism with `tp_size`:

```bash
lighteval sglang \
    "model_name=HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta,dtype=float16,tp_size=4" \
    truthfulqa:mc
```

### Data Parallelism

If your model fits on a single GPU, you can use data parallelism with `dp_size` to speed up the evaluation:

```bash
lighteval sglang \
    "model_name=HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta,dtype=float16,dp_size=4" \
    truthfulqa:mc
```

## Using a Configuration File

For more advanced configurations, you can use a YAML configuration file for the model.
An example configuration file is shown below and can be found at `examples/model_configs/sglang_model_config.yaml`.

```bash
lighteval sglang \
    "examples/model_configs/sglang_model_config.yaml" \
    truthfulqa:mc
```

> [!TIP]
> Documentation for SGLang server arguments can be found [here](https://docs.sglang.ai/backend/server_arguments.html)

```yaml
model_parameters:
    model_name: "HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM-1.7B-Instruct"
    dtype: "auto"
    tp_size: 1
    dp_size: 1
    context_length: null
    random_seed: 1
    trust_remote_code: False
    device: "cuda"
    skip_tokenizer_init: False
    kv_cache_dtype: "auto"
    add_special_tokens: True
    pairwise_tokenization: False
    sampling_backend: null
    attention_backend: null
    mem_fraction_static: 0.8
    chunked_prefill_size: 4096
    generation_parameters:
      max_new_tokens: 1024
      min_new_tokens: 0
      temperature: 1.0
      top_k: 50
      min_p: 0.0
      top_p: 1.0
      presence_penalty: 0.0
      repetition_penalty: 1.0
      frequency_penalty: 0.0
```

> [!WARNING]
> In case of out-of-memory (OOM) issues, you might need to reduce the context size of the
> model as well as reduce the `mem_fraction_static` and `chunked_prefill_size` parameters.

## Key SGLang Parameters

### Memory Management
- `mem_fraction_static`: Fraction of GPU memory to allocate for static tensors (default: 0.8)
- `chunked_prefill_size`: Size of chunks for prefill operations (default: 4096)
- `context_length`: Maximum context length for the model

### Using Inference Providers as Backend
https://huggingface.co/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/use-inference-providers-as-backend.md

# Using Inference Providers as Backend

Lighteval allows you to use Hugging Face's Inference Providers to evaluate LLMs on supported providers such as Black Forest Labs, Cerebras, Fireworks AI, Nebius, Together AI, and many more.

> [!WARNING]
> Do not forget to set your Hugging Face API key.
> You can set it using the `HF_TOKEN` environment variable or by using the `huggingface-cli` command.

## Basic Usage

```bash
lighteval endpoint inference-providers \
    "model_name=deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1,provider=hf-inference" \
    gsm8k
```

## Using a Configuration File

You can use configuration files to define the model and the provider to use.

```bash
lighteval endpoint inference-providers \
    examples/model_configs/inference_providers.yaml \
    gsm8k
```

With the following configuration file:

```yaml
model_parameters:
  model_name: "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B"
  provider: "novita"
  timeout: null
  proxies: null
  parallel_calls_count: 10
  generation_parameters:
    temperature: 0.8
    top_k: 10
    max_new_tokens: 10000
```

By default, inference requests are billed to your personal account.
Optionally, you can charge them to an organization by setting `org_to_bill=""` (requires being a member of that organization).

## Supported Providers

Hugging Face Inference Providers supports a wide range of LLM providers see the [Inference Providers documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/inference-providers/en/index) for the complete list.

## Billing and Costs

### Personal Account Billing
By default, all inference requests are billed to your personal Hugging Face account. You can monitor your usage in the [Hugging Face billing dashboard](https://huggingface.co/settings/billing).

### Organization Billing
To bill requests to an organization:

1. Ensure you are a member of the organization
2. Add `org_to_bill=""` to your configuration
3. The organization must have sufficient credits

```yaml
model_parameters:
  model_name: "meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf"
  provider: "together"
  org_to_bill: "my-organization"
```

For more detailed error handling and provider-specific information, refer to the [Hugging Face Inference Providers documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/inference-providers/en/index).

To evaluate `GPT-2` on the Truthful QA benchmark with [🤗
  Accelerate](https://github.com/huggingface/accelerate), run:

```bash
lighteval accelerate \
     "model_name=openai-community/gpt2" \
     truthfulqa:mc
```

### Task Specification

Tasks have a function applied at the sample level and one at the corpus level. For example,
- an exact match can be applied per sample, then averaged over the corpus to give the final score
- samples can be left untouched before applying Corpus BLEU at the corpus level
etc.

If the task you are looking at has a sample level function (`sample_level_fn`) which can be parametrized, you can pass parameters in the CLI.
For example
```txt
{task}@{parameter_name1}={value1}@{parameter_name2}={value2},...|0
```

All officially supported tasks can be found at the [tasks_list](available-tasks) and in the
[extended folder](https://github.com/huggingface/lighteval/tree/main/src/lighteval/tasks/extended).
Moreover, community-provided tasks can be found in the
[community](https://github.com/huggingface/lighteval/tree/main/community_tasks) folder.

For more details on the implementation of the tasks, such as how prompts are constructed or which metrics are used, you can examine the
[implementation file](https://github.com/huggingface/lighteval/blob/main/src/lighteval/tasks/default_tasks.py).

### Running Multiple Tasks

Running multiple tasks is supported, either with a comma-separated list or by specifying a file path.
The file should be structured like [examples/tasks/recommended_set.txt](https://github.com/huggingface/lighteval/blob/main/examples/tasks/recommended_set.txt).
When specifying a path to a file, it should start with `./`.

```bash
lighteval accelerate \
     "model_name=openai-community/gpt2" \
     ./path/to/lighteval/examples/tasks/recommended_set.txt
# or, e.g., "truthfulqa:mc|0,gsm8k|3"
```

## Backend Configuration

### General Information

The `model-args` argument takes a string representing a list of model
arguments. The arguments allowed vary depending on the backend you use and
correspond to the fields of the model configurations.

The model configurations can be found [here](./package_reference/models).

All models allow you to post-process your reasoning model predictions
to remove the thinking tokens from the trace used to compute the metrics,
using `--remove-reasoning-tags` and `--reasoning-tags` to specify which
reasoning tags to remove (defaults to `` and ``).

Here's an example with `mistralai/Magistral-Small-2507` which outputs custom
thinking tokens:

```bash
lighteval vllm \
    "model_name=mistralai/Magistral-Small-2507,dtype=float16,data_parallel_size=4" \
    aime24 \
    --remove-reasoning-tags \
    --reasoning-tags="[('[THINK]','[/THINK]')]"
```

### Nanotron

To evaluate a model trained with Nanotron on a single GPU:

> [!WARNING]
> Nanotron models cannot be evaluated without torchrun.

```bash
torchrun --standalone --nnodes=1 --nproc-per-node=1 \
    src/lighteval/__main__.py nanotron \
    --checkpoint-config-path ../nanotron/checkpoints/10/config.yaml \
    --lighteval-config-path examples/nanotron/lighteval_config_override_template.yaml
```

The `nproc-per-node` argument should match the data, tensor, and pipeline
parallelism configured in the `lighteval_config_template.yaml` file.
That is: `nproc-per-node = data_parallelism * tensor_parallelism *
pipeline_parallelism`.

### Using LiteLLM as Backend
https://huggingface.co/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/use-litellm-as-backend.md

# Using LiteLLM as Backend

Lighteval allows you to use LiteLLM as a backend, enabling you to call all LLM APIs
using the OpenAI format. LiteLLM supports various providers including Bedrock, Hugging Face, Vertex AI, Together AI, Azure,
OpenAI, Groq, and many others.

> [!TIP]
> Documentation for available APIs and compatible endpoints can be found [here](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/).

## Basic Usage

```bash
lighteval endpoint litellm \
    "provider=openai,model_name=gpt-3.5-turbo" \
    gsm8k
```

## Using a Configuration File

LiteLLM allows generation with any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. For example, you
can evaluate a model running on a local VLLM server.

To do so, you will need to use a configuration file like this:

```yaml
model_parameters:
    model_name: "openai/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B"
    base_url: "URL_OF_THE_ENDPOINT_YOU_WANT_TO_USE"
    api_key: "" # Remove or keep empty as needed
    generation_parameters:
      temperature: 0.5
      max_new_tokens: 256
      stop_tokens: [""]
      top_p: 0.9
      seed: 0
      repetition_penalty: 1.0
      frequency_penalty: 0.0
```

## Supported Providers

LiteLLM supports a wide range of LLM providers:

### Cloud Providers

all cloud providers can be found in the [litellm documentation](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers).

### Local/On-Premise
- **VLLM**: Local VLLM servers
- **Hugging Face**: Local Hugging Face models
- **Custom endpoints**: Any OpenAI-compatible API

## Using with Local Models

### VLLM Server
To use with a local VLLM server:

1. Start your VLLM server:
```bash
vllm serve HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
```

2. Configure LiteLLM to use the local server:
```yaml
model_parameters:
    provider: "hosted_vllm"
    model_name: "hosted_vllm/HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta"
    base_url: "http://localhost:8000/v1"
    api_key: ""
```

For more detailed error handling and debugging, refer to the [LiteLLM documentation](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/).

### Adding a New Metric
https://huggingface.co/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/adding-a-new-metric.md

# Adding a New Metric

## Before You Start

### Two different types of metrics

There are two types of metrics in Lighteval:

#### Sample-Level Metrics
- **Purpose**: Evaluate individual samples/predictions
- **Input**: Takes a `Doc` and `ModelResponse` (model's prediction)
- **Output**: Returns a float or boolean value for that specific sample
- **Example**: Checking if a model's answer matches the correct answer for one sample

#### Corpus-Level Metrics
- **Purpose**: Compute final scores across the entire dataset/corpus
- **Input**: Takes the results from all sample-level evaluations
- **Output**: Returns a single score representing overall performance
- **Examples**:
  - Simple aggregation: Calculating average accuracy across all test samples
  - Complex metrics: BLEU score where sample-level metric prepares data (tokenization, etc.) and corpus-level metric computes the actual BLEU score

### Check Existing Metrics

First, check if you can use one of the parameterized functions in
[Corpus Metrics](package_reference/metrics#corpus-metrics) or
[Sample Metrics](package_reference/metrics#sample-metrics).

If not, you can use the `custom_task` system to register your new metric.

> [!TIP]
> To see an example of a custom metric added along with a custom task, look at the [IFEval custom task](https://github.com/huggingface/lighteval/tree/main/examples/custom_tasks/ifeval).

> [!WARNING]
> To contribute your custom metric to the Lighteval repository, you would first need
> to install the required dev dependencies by running `pip install -e .[dev]`
> and then run `pre-commit install` to install the pre-commit hooks.

## Creating a Custom Metric

### Step 1: Create the Metric File

Create a new Python file which should contain the full logic of your metric.
The file also needs to start with these imports:

```python
from aenum import extend_enum
from lighteval.metrics import Metrics
```

### Step 2: Define the Sample-Level Metric

You need to define a sample-level metric. All sample-level metrics will have the same signature, taking a
`~lighteval.types.Doc` and a `~lighteval.types.ModelResponse`. The metric should return a float or a
boolean.

#### Single Metric Example

```python
def custom_metric(doc: Doc, model_response: ModelResponse) -> bool:
    response = model_response.final_text[0]
    return response == doc.choices[doc.gold_index]
```

#### Multiple Metrics Example

If you want to return multiple metrics per sample, you need to return a dictionary with the metrics as keys and the values as values:

```python
def custom_metric(doc: Doc, model_response: ModelResponse) -> dict:
    response = model_response.final_text[0]
    return {"accuracy": response == doc.choices[doc.gold_index], "other_metric": 0.5}
```

### Step 3: Define Aggregation Function (Optional)

You can define an aggregation function if needed. A common aggregation function is `np.mean`:

```python
def agg_function(items):
    flat_items = [item for sublist in items for item in sublist]
    score = sum(flat_items) / len(flat_items)
    return score
```

### Step 4: Create the Metric Object

#### Single Metric

If it's a sample-level metric, you can use the following code
with [SampleLevelMetric](/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/en/package_reference/metrics#lighteval.metrics.utils.metric_utils.SampleLevelMetric):

```python
my_custom_metric = SampleLevelMetric(
    metric_name="custom_accuracy",
    higher_is_better=True,
    category=SamplingMethod.GENERATIVE,
    sample_level_fn=custom_metric,
    corpus_level_fn=agg_function,
)
```

#### Multiple Metrics

If your metric defines multiple metrics per sample, you can use the following code
with [SampleLevelMetricGrouping](/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/en/package_reference/metrics#lighteval.metrics.utils.metric_utils.SampleLevelMetricGrouping):

```python
custom_metric = SampleLevelMetricGrouping(
    metric_name=["accuracy", "response_length", "confidence"],
    higher_is_better={
        "accuracy": True,
        "response_length": False,  # Shorter responses might be better
        "confidence": True
    },
    category=SamplingMethod.GENERATIVE,
    sample_level_fn=custom_metric,
    corpus_level_fn={
        "accuracy": np.mean,
        "response_length": np.mean,
        "confidence": np.mean,
    },
)
```

### Step 5: Register the Metric

To finish, add the following code so that it adds your metric to our metrics list
when loaded as a module:

```python
# Adds the metric to the metric list!
extend_enum(Metrics, "CUSTOM_ACCURACY", my_custom_metric)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("Imported metric")
```

## Using Your Custom Metric

### With Custom Tasks

You can then give your custom metric to Lighteval by using `--custom-tasks
path_to_your_file` when launching it after adding it to the task config.

```bash
lighteval accelerate \
    "model_name=openai-community/gpt2" \
    "truthfulqa:mc" \
    --custom-tasks path_to_your_metric_file.py
```

```python
from lighteval.tasks.lighteval_task import LightevalTaskConfig

task = LightevalTaskConfig(
    name="my_custom_task",
    metric=[my_custom_metric],  # Use your custom metric here
    prompt_function=my_prompt_function,
    hf_repo="my_dataset",
    evaluation_splits=["test"]
)
```

### Evaluating Custom Models
https://huggingface.co/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/evaluating-a-custom-model.md

# Evaluating Custom Models

Lighteval allows you to evaluate custom model implementations by creating a custom model class that inherits from `LightevalModel`.
This is useful when you want to evaluate models that aren't directly supported by the standard backends and providers (Transformers, VLLM, etc.), or
if you want to add your own pre/post-processing logic.

## Creating a Custom Model

### Step 1: Create Your Model Implementation

Create a Python file containing your custom model implementation. The model must inherit from `LightevalModel` and implement all required methods.

Here's a basic example:

```python
from lighteval.models.abstract_model import LightevalModel
from lighteval.models.model_output import ModelResponse
from lighteval.tasks.requests import Doc, SamplingMethod
from lighteval.utils.cache_management import SampleCache, cached

class MyCustomModel(LightevalModel):
    def __init__(self, config):
        super().__init__(config)
        # Initialize your model here...

        # Enable caching (recommended)
        self._cache = SampleCache(config)

    @cached(SamplingMethod.GENERATIVE)
    def greedy_until(self, docs: List[Doc]) -> List[ModelResponse]:
        # Implement generation logic
        pass

    @cached(SamplingMethod.LOGPROBS)
    def loglikelihood(self, docs: List[Doc]) -> List[ModelResponse]:
        # Implement loglikelihood computation
        pass

    @cached(SamplingMethod.PERPLEXITY)
    def loglikelihood_rolling(self, docs: List[Doc]) -> List[ModelResponse]:
        # Implement rolling loglikelihood computation
        pass
```

### Step 2: Model File Requirements

The custom model file should contain exactly one class that inherits from `LightevalModel`. This class will be automatically detected and instantiated when loading the model.

> [!TIP]
> You can find a complete example of a custom model implementation in `examples/custom_models/google_translate_model.py`.

## Running the Evaluation

You can evaluate your custom model using either the command-line interface or the Python API.

### Using the Command Line

```bash
lighteval custom \
    "google-translate" \
    "examples/custom_models/google_translate_model.py" \
    "wmt20:fr-de \
    --max-samples 10
```

The command takes three required arguments:
- **Model name**: Used for tracking in results/logs
- **Model implementation file path**: Path to your Python file containing the custom model
- **Tasks**: Tasks to evaluate on (same format as other backends)

### Using the Python API

```python
from lighteval.logging.evaluation_tracker import EvaluationTracker
from lighteval.models.custom.custom_model import CustomModelConfig
from lighteval.pipeline import Pipeline, PipelineParameters, ParallelismManager

# Set up evaluation tracking
evaluation_tracker = EvaluationTracker(
    output_dir="results",
    save_details=True
)

# Configure the pipeline
pipeline_params = PipelineParameters(
    launcher_type=ParallelismManager.CUSTOM,
)

# Configure your custom model
model_config = CustomModelConfig(
    model_name="my-custom-model",
    model_definition_file_path="path/to/my_model.py"
)

# Create and run the pipeline
pipeline = Pipeline(
    tasks=truthfulqa:mc,
    pipeline_parameters=pipeline_params,
    evaluation_tracker=evaluation_tracker,
    model_config=model_config
)

pipeline.evaluate()
pipeline.save_and_push_results()
```

## Required Methods

Your custom model must implement these core methods:

### `greedy_until`
For generating text until a stop sequence or max tokens is reached. This is used for generative evaluations.

```python
def greedy_until(self, docs: list[Doc]) -> list[ModelResponse]:
    """
    Generate text until stop sequence or max tokens.

    Args:
        docs: list of documents containing prompts and generation parameters

    Returns:
        list of model responses with generated text
    """
    pass
```

### `loglikelihood`
For computing log probabilities of specific continuations. This is used for multiple choice logprob evaluations.

```python
def loglikelihood(self, docs: list[Doc]) -> list[ModelResponse]:
    """
    Compute log probabilities of continuations.

    Args:
        docs: list of documents containing context and continuation pairs

    Returns:
        list of model responses with log probabilities
    """
    pass
```

### `loglikelihood_rolling`
For computing rolling log probabilities of sequences. This is used for perplexity metrics.

```python
def loglikelihood_rolling(self, docs: list[Doc]) -> list[ModelResponse]:
    """
    Compute rolling log probabilities of sequences.

    Args:
        docs: list of documents containing text sequences

    Returns:
        list of model responses with rolling log probabilities
    """
    pass
```

See the `LightevalModel` base class documentation for detailed method signatures and requirements.

## Enabling Caching (Recommended)

Lighteval includes a caching system that can significantly speed up evaluations by storing and reusing model predictions.
To enable caching in your custom model:

### Step 1: Import Caching Components
```python
from lighteval.utils.cache_management import SampleCache, cached
```

### Step 2: Initialize Cache in Constructor
```python
def __init__(self, config):
    super().__init__(config)
    # Your initialization code...
    self._cache = SampleCache(config)
```

3. Add cache decorators to your prediction methods:
   ```python
   @cached(SamplingMethod.GENERATIVE)
   def greedy_until(self, docs: List[Doc]) -> List[ModelResponse]:
       # Your implementation...
   ```

For detailed information about the caching system, see the [Caching Documentation](caching).

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Import Errors**: Ensure all required dependencies are installed
2. **Method Signature Errors**: Verify your methods match the expected signatures
3. **Caching Issues**: Check that cache decorators are applied correctly
4. **Performance Issues**: Consider implementing batching and caching

### Debugging Tips

- Use the `--max-samples` flag to test with a small dataset
- Enable detailed logging to see what's happening
- Test individual methods in isolation
- Check the example implementations for reference

For more detailed information about custom model implementation, see the [Model Reference](package_reference/models).

### Caching System
https://huggingface.co/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/caching.md

# Caching System

Lighteval includes a caching system that can significantly speed up evaluations by storing and reusing model predictions.
This is especially useful when running the same evaluation multiple times, or comparing different evaluation metrics on the same model outputs.

## How It Works

The caching system caches the predictions of the model for now (we will add tokenized input caching later).
It stores model responses objects (generations, logits, probabilities) for evaluation samples.

### Cache Structure

Cached data is stored on disk using HuggingFace datasets in the following structure:

```
.cache/
└── huggingface/
    └── lighteval/
        └── predictions/
            └── {model_name}/
                └── {model_hash}/
                    └── {task_name}.parquet
```

Where:
- `model_name`: The model name (path on the hub or local path)
- `model_hash`: Hash of the model configuration to ensure cache invalidation when parameters change
- `task_name`: Name of the evaluation task

### Cache Recreation

A new cache is automatically created when:
- Model configuration changes (different parameters, quantization, etc.)
- Model weights change (different revision, checkpoint, etc.)
- Generation parameters change (temperature, max_tokens, etc.)

This ensures that cached results are always consistent with your current model setup.

## Using Caching

### Automatic Caching

All built-in model classes in Lighteval automatically support caching. No additional configuration is needed.
For custom models you need to add a cache to the model class and decorators on all functions.

## Cache Management

### Clearing Cache

To clear cache for a specific model, delete the corresponding directory:

```bash
rm -rf ~/.cache/huggingface/lighteval/predictions/{model_name}/{model_hash}/
```

To clear all caches:

```bash
rm -rf ~/.cache/huggingface/lighteval/predictions
```

### Metric List
https://huggingface.co/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/metric-list.md

# Metric List

## Automatic metrics for multiple-choice tasks

These metrics use log-likelihood of the different possible targets.
- `loglikelihood_acc`: Fraction of instances where the choice with the best logprob was correct - we recommend using a normalization by length
- `loglikelihood_f1`: Corpus level F1 score of the multichoice selection
- `mcc`: Matthew's correlation coefficient (a measure of agreement between statistical distributions).
- `recall_at_k`: Fraction of instances where the choice with the k-st best logprob or better was correct
- `mrr`: Mean reciprocal rank, a measure of the quality of a ranking of choices ordered by correctness/relevance
- `target_perplexity`: Perplexity of the different choices available.
- `acc_golds_likelihood`: A bit different, it actually checks if the average logprob of a single target is above or below 0.5.
- `multi_f1_numeric`: Loglikelihood F1 score for multiple gold targets.

## Automatic metrics for perplexity and language modeling
These metrics use log-likelihood of prompt.
- `word_perplexity`: Perplexity (log probability of the input) weighted by the number of words of the sequence.
- `byte_perplexity`: Perplexity (log probability of the input) weighted by the number of bytes of the sequence.
- `bits_per_byte`: Average number of bits per byte according to model probabilities.
- `log_prob`: Predicted output's average log probability (input's log prob for language modeling).

## Automatic metrics for generative tasks
These metrics need the model to generate an output. They are therefore slower.
- Base:
    - `exact_match`: Fraction of instances where the prediction matches the gold. Several variations can be made through parametrization:
        - normalization on string pre-comparision on whitespace, articles, capitalization, ....
        - comparing the full string, or only subsets (prefix, suffix, ...)
    - `maj_at_k`: Model majority vote. Samples k generations from the model and assumes the most frequent is the actual prediction.
    - `f1_score`:  Average F1 score in terms of word overlap between the model output and gold (normalisation optional).
    - `f1_score_macro`: Corpus level macro F1 score.
    - `f1_score_macro`: Corpus level micro F1 score.
- Summarization:
    - `rouge`: Average ROUGE score [(Lin, 2004)](https://aclanthology.org/W04-1013/).
    - `rouge1`: Average ROUGE score [(Lin, 2004)](https://aclanthology.org/W04-1013/) based on 1-gram overlap.
    - `rouge2`: Average ROUGE score [(Lin, 2004)](https://aclanthology.org/W04-1013/) based on 2-gram overlap.
    - `rougeL`: Average ROUGE score [(Lin, 2004)](https://aclanthology.org/W04-1013/) based on longest common subsequence overlap.
    - `rougeLsum`: Average ROUGE score [(Lin, 2004)](https://aclanthology.org/W04-1013/) based on longest common subsequence overlap.
    - `rouge_t5` (BigBench): Corpus level ROUGE score for all available ROUGE metrics.
    - `faithfulness`: Faithfulness scores based on the SummaC method of [Laban et al. (2022)](https://aclanthology.org/2022.tacl-1.10/).
    - `extractiveness`: Reports, based on [(Grusky et al., 2018)](https://aclanthology.org/N18-1065/):
        - `summarization_coverage`: Extent to which the model-generated summaries are extractive fragments from the source document,
        - `summarization_density`: Extent to which the model-generated summaries are extractive summaries based on the source document,
        - `summarization_compression`: Extent to which the model-generated summaries are compressed relative to the source document.
    - `bert_score`: Reports the average BERTScore precision, recall, and f1 score [(Zhang et al., 2020)](https://openreview.net/pdf?id=SkeHuCVFDr) between model generation and gold summary.
- Translation:

    - `bleu_1`: Average sample BLEU score [(Papineni et al., 2002)](https://aclanthology.org/P02-1040/) based on 1-gram overlap - uses the nltk implementation.
    - `bleu_4`: Average sample BLEU score [(Papineni et al., 2002)](https://aclanthology.org/P02-1040/) based on 4-gram overlap - uses the nltk implementation.
    - `chrf`: Character n-gram matches f-score.
    - `ter`: Translation edit/error rate.
- Copyright:
    - `copyright`: Reports:
        - `longest_common_prefix_length`: Average length of longest common prefix between model generation and reference,
        - `edit_distance`: Average Levenshtein edit distance between model generation and reference,
        - `edit_similarity`: Average Levenshtein edit similarity (normalized by the length of longer sequence) between model generation and reference.
- Math:
    - Both `exact_match` and `maj_at_k` can be used to evaluate mathematics tasks with math specific normalization to remove and filter latex.

### Using the Python API
https://huggingface.co/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/using-the-python-api.md

# Using the Python API

Lighteval can be used from a custom Python script. To evaluate a model, you will need to set up an
[EvaluationTracker](/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/en/package_reference/logging#lighteval.logging.evaluation_tracker.EvaluationTracker), [PipelineParameters](/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/en/package_reference/pipeline#lighteval.pipeline.PipelineParameters),
a [`model`](package_reference/models) or a [`model_config`](package_reference/model_config),
and a [Pipeline](/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/en/package_reference/pipeline#lighteval.pipeline.Pipeline).

After that, simply run the pipeline and save the results.

```python
import lighteval
from lighteval.logging.evaluation_tracker import EvaluationTracker
from lighteval.models.vllm.vllm_model import VLLMModelConfig
from lighteval.pipeline import ParallelismManager, Pipeline, PipelineParameters
from lighteval.utils.imports import is_package_available

if is_package_available("accelerate"):
    from datetime import timedelta
    from accelerate import Accelerator, InitProcessGroupKwargs
    accelerator = Accelerator(kwargs_handlers=[InitProcessGroupKwargs(timeout=timedelta(seconds=3000))])
else:
    accelerator = None

def main():
    evaluation_tracker = EvaluationTracker(
        output_dir="./results",
        save_details=True,
        push_to_hub=True,
        hub_results_org="your_username",  # Replace with your actual username
    )

    pipeline_params = PipelineParameters(
        launcher_type=ParallelismManager.ACCELERATE,
        custom_tasks_directory=None,  # Set to path if using custom tasks
        # Remove the parameter below once your configuration is tested
        max_samples=10
    )

    model_config = VLLMModelConfig(
        model_name="HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta",
        dtype="float16",
    )

    task = "gsm8k|5"

    pipeline = Pipeline(
        tasks=task,
        pipeline_parameters=pipeline_params,
        evaluation_tracker=evaluation_tracker,
        model_config=model_config,
    )

    pipeline.evaluate()
    pipeline.save_and_push_results()
    pipeline.show_results()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```

## Key Components

### EvaluationTracker
The `EvaluationTracker` handles logging and saving evaluation results. It can save results locally and optionally push them to the Hugging Face Hub.

### PipelineParameters
`PipelineParameters` configures how the evaluation pipeline runs, including parallelism settings and task configuration.

### Model Configuration
Model configurations define the model to be evaluated, including the model name, data type, and other model-specific parameters. Different backends (VLLM, Transformers, etc.) have their own configuration classes.

### Pipeline
The `Pipeline` orchestrates the entire evaluation process, taking the tasks, model configuration, and parameters to run the evaluation.

## Running Multiple Tasks

You can evaluate on multiple tasks by providing a comma-separated list or a file path:

```python
# Multiple tasks as comma-separated string
tasks = "aime24,aime25"

# Or load from a file
tasks = "./path/to/tasks.txt"

pipeline = Pipeline(
    tasks=tasks,
    # ... other parameters
)
```

## Custom Tasks

To use custom tasks, set the `custom_tasks_directory` parameter to the path containing your custom task definitions:

```python
pipeline_params = PipelineParameters(
    custom_tasks_directory="./path/to/custom/tasks",
    # ... other parameters
)
```

For more information on creating custom tasks, see the [Adding a Custom Task](adding-a-custom-task) guide.

### Evaluate your model with Inspect-AI
https://huggingface.co/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/inspect-ai.md

# Evaluate your model with Inspect-AI

Pick the right benchmarks with our benchmark finder:
Search by language, task type, dataset name, or keywords.

> [!WARNING]
> Not all tasks are compatible with inspect-ai's API as of yet, we are working on converting all of them !

Once you've chosen a benchmark, run it with `lighteval eval`. Below are examples for common setups.

### Examples

1. Evaluate a model via Hugging Face Inference Providers.

```bash
lighteval eval "hf-inference-providers/openai/gpt-oss-20b" gpqa:diamond
```

2. Run multiple evals at the same time.

```bash
lighteval eval "hf-inference-providers/openai/gpt-oss-20b" gpqa:diamond,aime25
```

3. Compare providers for the same model.

```bash
lighteval eval \
    hf-inference-providers/openai/gpt-oss-20b:fireworks-ai \
    hf-inference-providers/openai/gpt-oss-20b:together \
    hf-inference-providers/openai/gpt-oss-20b:nebius \
    gpqa:diamond
```

You can also compare every providers serving one model in one line:

```bash
    hf-inference-providers/openai/gpt-oss-20b:all \
    "lighteval|gpqa:diamond|0"
```

4. Evaluate a vLLM or SGLang model.

```bash
lighteval eval vllm/HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM-135M-Instruct gpqa:diamond
```

5. See the impact of few-shot on your model.

```bash
lighteval eval hf-inference-providers/openai/gpt-oss-20b "gsm8k|0,gsm8k|5"
```

6. Optimize custom server connections.

```bash
lighteval eval hf-inference-providers/openai/gpt-oss-20b gsm8k \
    --max-connections 50 \
    --timeout 30 \
    --retry-on-error 1 \
    --max-retries 1 \
    --max-samples 10
```

7. Use multiple epochs for more reliable results.

```bash
lighteval eval hf-inference-providers/openai/gpt-oss-20b aime25 --epochs 16 --epochs-reducer "pass_at_4"
```

8. Push to the Hub to share results.

```bash
lighteval eval hf-inference-providers/openai/gpt-oss-20b hle \
    --bundle-dir gpt-oss-bundle \
    --repo-id OpenEvals/evals \
    --max-samples 100
```

Resulting Space:

9. Change model behaviour

You can use any argument defined in inspect-ai's API.

```bash
lighteval eval hf-inference-providers/openai/gpt-oss-20b aime25 --temperature 0.1
```

10. Use model-args to use any inference provider specific argument.

```bash
lighteval eval google/gemini-2.5-pro aime25 --model-args location=us-east5
```

```bash
lighteval eval openai/gpt-4o gpqa:diamond --model-args service_tier=flex,client_timeout=1200
```

LightEval prints a per-model results table:

```
Completed all tasks in 'lighteval-logs' successfully

|                 Model                 |gpqa|gpqa:diamond|

### Saving and Reading Results
https://huggingface.co/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/saving-and-reading-results.md

# Saving and Reading Results

Lighteval provides comprehensive logging and result management through the `EvaluationTracker` class. This system allows you to save results locally and optionally push them to various platforms for collaboration and analysis.

## Saving Results Locally

Lighteval automatically saves results and evaluation details in the
directory specified with the `--output-dir` option. The results are saved in
`{output_dir}/results/{model_name}/results_{timestamp}.json`. [Here is an
example of a result file](#example-of-a-result-file). The output path can be
any [fsspec](https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html)
compliant path (local, S3, Hugging Face Hub, Google Drive, FTP, etc.).

To save detailed evaluation information, you can use the `--save-details`
option. The details are saved in Parquet files at
`{output_dir}/details/{model_name}/{timestamp}/details_{task}_{timestamp}.parquet`.

If you want results to be saved in a custom path structure, you can set the `results-path-template` option.
This allows you to specify a string template for the path. The template must contain the following
variables: `output_dir`, `model_name`, `org`. For example:
`{output_dir}/{org}_{model}`. The template will be used to create the path for the results file.

## Pushing Results to the Hugging Face Hub

You can push results and evaluation details to the Hugging Face Hub. To do
so, you need to set the `--push-to-hub` option as well as the `--results-org`
option. The results are saved in a dataset with the name
`{results_org}/{model_org}/{model_name}`. To push the details, you need to set
the `--save-details` option.

The dataset created will be private by default. You can make it public by
setting the `--public-run` option.

## Pushing Results to TensorBoard

You can push results to TensorBoard by setting `--push-to-tensorboard`.
This creates a TensorBoard dashboard in a Hugging Face organization specified with the `--results-org`
option.

## Pushing Results to Weights & Biases or Trackio

You can push results to Weights & Biases by setting `--wandb`. This initializes a W&B
run and logs the results.

W&B arguments need to be set in your environment variables:

```bash
export WANDB_PROJECT="lighteval"
```

You can find a complete list of variables in the [W&B documentation](https://docs.wandb.ai/guides/track/environment-variables/).

If Trackio is available in your environment (`pip install lighteval[trackio]`), it will be used to log and push results to a
Hugging Face dataset. Choose the dataset name and organization with:

```bash
export WANDB_SPACE_ID="org/name"
```

## How to Load and Investigate Details

### Loading from Local Detail Files

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
import os
import glob

output_dir = "evals_doc"
model_name = "HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta"
timestamp = "latest"
task = "gsm8k"

if timestamp == "latest":
    path = f"{output_dir}/details/{model_name}/*/"
    timestamps = glob.glob(path)
    timestamp = sorted(timestamps)[-1].split("/")[-2]
    print(f"Latest timestamp: {timestamp}")

details_path = f"{output_dir}/details/{model_name}/{timestamp}/details_{task}_{timestamp}.parquet"

# Load the details
details = load_dataset("parquet", data_files=details_path, split="train")

for detail in details:
    print(detail)
```

### Loading from the Hugging Face Hub

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

results_org = "SaylorTwift"
model_name = "HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta"
sanitized_model_name = model_name.replace("/", "__")
task = "gsm8k"
public_run = False

dataset_path = f"{results_org}/details_{sanitized_model_name}{'_private' if not public_run else ''}"
details = load_dataset(dataset_path, task.replace("|", "_"), split="latest")

for detail in details:
    print(detail)
```

## Detail File Structure

The detail file contains the following columns:

- **`__doc__`**: The document used for evaluation, containing the gold reference, few-shot examples, and other hyperparameters used for the task.
- **`__model_response__`**: Contains model generations, log probabilities, and the input that was sent to the model.
- **`__metric__`**: The value of the metrics for this sample.

## EvaluationTracker Configuration

The `EvaluationTracker` class provides several configuration options for customizing how results are saved and pushed:

### Basic Configuration

```python
from lighteval.logging.evaluation_tracker import EvaluationTracker

tracker = EvaluationTracker(
    output_dir="./results",
    save_details=True,

### Using VLLM as Backend
https://huggingface.co/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/use-vllm-as-backend.md

# Using VLLM as Backend

Lighteval allows you to use VLLM as a backend, providing significant speedups for model evaluation.
To use VLLM, simply change the `model_args` to reflect the arguments you want to pass to VLLM.

> [!TIP]
> Documentation for VLLM engine arguments can be found [here](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/serving/engine_args.html)

## Basic Usage

```bash
lighteval vllm \
    "model_name=HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta" \
    ifeval
```

## Parallelism Options

VLLM can distribute the model across multiple GPUs using data parallelism, pipeline parallelism, or tensor parallelism.
You can choose the parallelism method by setting the appropriate parameters in the `model_args`.

### Tensor Parallelism

For example, if you have 4 GPUs, you can split the model across them using tensor parallelism:

```bash
export VLLM_WORKER_MULTIPROC_METHOD=spawn && lighteval vllm \
    "model_name=HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta,tensor_parallel_size=4" \
    ifeval
```

### Data Parallelism

If your model fits on a single GPU, you can use data parallelism to speed up the evaluation:

```bash
export VLLM_WORKER_MULTIPROC_METHOD=spawn && lighteval vllm \
    "model_name=HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta,data_parallel_size=4" \
    ifeval
```

## Using a Configuration File

For more advanced configurations, you can use a YAML configuration file for the model.
An example configuration file is shown below and can be found at `examples/model_configs/vllm_model_config.yaml`.

```bash
lighteval vllm \
    "examples/model_configs/vllm_model_config.yaml" \
    ifeval
```

```yaml
model_parameters:
    model_name: "HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM-1.7B-Instruct"
    revision: "main"
    dtype: "bfloat16"
    tensor_parallel_size: 1
    data_parallel_size: 1
    pipeline_parallel_size: 1
    gpu_memory_utilization: 0.9
    max_model_length: 2048
    swap_space: 4
    seed: 1
    trust_remote_code: True
    add_special_tokens: True
    multichoice_continuations_start_space: True
    pairwise_tokenization: True
    subfolder: null
    generation_parameters:
      presence_penalty: 0.0
      repetition_penalty: 1.0
      frequency_penalty: 0.0
      temperature: 1.0
      top_k: 50
      min_p: 0.0
      top_p: 1.0
      seed: 42
      stop_tokens: null
      max_new_tokens: 1024
      min_new_tokens: 0
```

> [!WARNING]
> In case of out-of-memory (OOM) issues, you might need to reduce the context size of the
> model as well as reduce the `gpu_memory_utilization` parameter.

## Key VLLM Parameters

### Memory Management
- `gpu_memory_utilization`: Controls how much GPU memory VLLM can use (default: 0.9)
- `max_model_length`: Maximum sequence length for the model
- `swap_space`: Amount of CPU memory to use for swapping (in GB)

### Parallelism Settings
- `tensor_parallel_size`: Number of GPUs for tensor parallelism
- `data_parallel_size`: Number of GPUs for data parallelism
- `pipeline_parallel_size`: Number of GPUs for pipeline parallelism

### Generation Parameters
- `temperature`: Controls randomness in generation (0.0 = deterministic, 1.0 = random)
- `top_p`: Nucleus sampling parameter
- `top_k`: Top-k sampling parameter
- `max_new_tokens`: Maximum number of tokens to generate

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Out of Memory Errors**: Reduce `gpu_memory_utilization` or `max_model_length`
2. **Worker Process Issues**: Ensure `VLLM_WORKER_MULTIPROC_METHOD=spawn` is set for multi-GPU setups
3. **Model Loading Errors**: Check that the model name and revision are correct

- Trackio or Weights & Biases for experiment tracking

Example:
```python
tracker = EvaluationTracker(
    output_dir="./eval_results",
    push_to_hub=True,
    hub_results_org="my-org",

)

# Log evaluation results
tracker.metrics_logger.add_metric("accuracy", 0.85)
tracker.details_logger.add_detail(task_name="qa", prediction="Paris")

# Save all results
tracker.save()

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/lighteval/blob/vr_1065/src/lighteval/models/custom/custom_model.py#L26)

Configuration class for loading custom model implementations in Lighteval.

This config allows users to define and load their own model implementations by specifying
a Python file containing a custom model class that inherits from LightevalModel.

The custom model file should contain exactly one class that inherits from LightevalModel.
This class will be automatically detected and instantiated when loading the model.

Example usage:
```python
# Define config
config = CustomModelConfig(
    model="my-custom-model",
    model_definition_file_path="path/to/my_model.py"
)

# Example custom model file (my_model.py):
from lighteval.models.abstract_model import LightevalModel

class MyCustomModel(LightevalModel):
    def __init__(self, config, env_config):
        super().__init__(config, env_config)
        # Custom initialization...

    def greedy_until(self, docs: list[Doc]) -> list[ModelResponse]:
        # Custom generation logic...
        pass

    def loglikelihood(self, docs: list[Doc]) -> list[ModelResponse]:
        pass
```

An example of a custom model can be found in `examples/custom_models/google_translate_model.py`.

**Parameters:**

model (str) : An identifier for the model. This can be used to track which model was evaluated in the results and logs. 

model_definition_file_path (str) : Path to a Python file containing the custom model implementation. This file must define exactly one class that inherits from LightevalModel. The class should implement all required methods from the LightevalModel interface.

### Model's Output[[lighteval.models.model_output.ModelResponse]]
https://huggingface.co/docs/lighteval/pr_1065/package_reference/models_outputs.md

# Model's Output[[lighteval.models.model_output.ModelResponse]]

All models will generate an ouput per Doc supplied to the `generation` or `loglikelihood` fuctions.

#### lighteval.models.model_output.ModelResponse[[lighteval.models.model_output.ModelResponse]]

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/lighteval/blob/vr_1065/src/lighteval/models/model_output.py#L29)

A class to represent the response from a model during evaluation.

This dataclass contains all the information returned by a model during inference,
including generated text, log probabilities, token information, and metadata.
Different attributes are required for different types of evaluation metrics.

Usage Examples:

**For generative tasks (text completion, summarization):**

```python
response = ModelResponse(
    text=["The capital of France is Paris."],
    input_tokens=[1, 2, 3, 4],
    output_tokens=[[5, 6, 7, 8]]
)
```

**For multiple choice tasks:**

```python
response = ModelResponse(
    logprobs=[-0.5, -1.2, -2.1, -1.8],  # Logprobs for each choice
    argmax_logits_eq_gold=[False, False, False, False],  # Whether correct choice was selected
    input_tokens=[1, 2, 3, 4],
    output_tokens=[[5], [6], [7], [8]]
)
```

**For perplexity calculation:**

```python
response = ModelResponse(
    text=["The model generated this text."],
    logprobs=[-1.2, -0.8, -1.5, -0.9, -1.1],  # Logprobs for each token
    input_tokens=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    output_tokens=[[6], [7], [8], [9], [10]]
)
```

**For PMI analysis:**

```python
response = ModelResponse(
    text=["The answer is 42."],
    logprobs=[-1.1, -0.9, -1.3, -0.7],  # Conditioned logprobs
    unconditioned_logprobs=[-2.1, -1.8, -2.3, -1.5],  # Unconditioned logprobs
    input_tokens=[1, 2, 3, 4],
    output_tokens=[[5], [6], [7], [8]]
)
```

Notes:
- For most evaluation tasks, only a subset of attributes is required
- The `text` attribute is the most commonly used for generative tasks
- `logprobs` are essential for probability-based metrics like perplexity

**Parameters:**

input (str | list | None) : The original input prompt or context that was fed to the model. Used for debugging and analysis purposes. 

input_tokens (list[int]) : The tokenized representation of the input prompt. Useful for understanding how the model processes the input. 

text (list[str]) : The generated text responses from the model. Each element represents one generation (useful when num_samples > 1). **Required for**: Generative metrics, exact match, llm as a judge, etc. 

text_post_processed (Optional[list[str]]) : The generated text responses from the model, but post processed. Atm, post processing removes thinking/reasoning steps.  Careful! This is not computed by default, but in a separate step by calling `post_process` on the ModelResponse object. **Required for**: Generative metrics that require direct answers. 

logprobs (list[float]) : Log probabilities of the generated tokens or sequences. **Required for**: loglikelihood and perplexity metrics. 

argmax_logits_eq_gold (list[bool]) : Whether the argmax logits match the gold/expected text. Used for accuracy calculations in multiple choice and classification tasks. **Required for**: certain loglikelihood metrics.  

unconditioned_logprobs (Optional[list[float]]) : Log probabilities from an unconditioned model (e.g., without context). Used for PMI (Pointwise Mutual Information) normalization. **Required for**: PMI metrics.

Initialises the split limits based on generation parameters.
The splits are used to estimate time remaining when evaluating, and in the case of generative evaluations, to group similar samples together.

For generative tasks, self._sorting_criteria outputs:
- a boolean (whether the generation task uses logits)
- a list (the stop sequences)
- the item length (the actual size sorting factor).

In the current function, we create evaluation groups by generation parameters (logits and eos), so that samples with similar properties get batched together afterwards.
The samples will then be further organised by length in each split.

**Parameters:**

num_dataset_splits (_type_) : _description_

**Returns:**

`_type_`
