Evals ML is a reference for measuring language models: what the standard benchmark suites actually contain, how much confidence a published score carries, which harness fits which kind of task, and how to keep a model grader honest. Every figure quoted here is attributed to the paper or repository it came from.

Benchmarks

LLM benchmarks explained

MMLU, HumanEval and GSM8K: what is inside each set, how each is scored, and where the number stops being useful.

Methodology

LLM evaluation design

Building an eval set from the failures you care about, choosing a grader, and turning it into a regression suite that catches real change.

Tooling

LLM eval frameworks compared

lm-evaluation-harness, OpenAI Evals, HELM, Inspect, promptfoo, DeepEval and Ragas, compared on the task shapes each one fits.

Model grading

LLM-as-a-judge bias

Position, verbosity and self-preference bias, how to detect each, and how to calibrate a judge against human labels.
