+- [2024/07] API model support has been updated and refactored, introducing support for batched and async requests, and making it significantly easier to customize and use for your own purposes. **To run Llama 405B, we recommend using VLLM's OpenAI-compliant API to host the model, and use the `local-completions` model type to evaluate the model.**
+- [2024/07] New Open LLM Leaderboard tasks have been added ! You can find them under the [leaderboard](lm_eval/tasks/leaderboard/README.md) task group.

 Note that for externally hosted models, configs such as `--device` and `--batch_size` should not be used and do not function. Just like you can use `--model_args` to pass arbitrary arguments to the model constructor for local models, you can use it to pass arbitrary arguments to the model API for hosted models. See the documentation of the hosting service for information on what arguments they support.

 ### Advanced Group Configs
 
-You can make more complete group config while also tailoring parameters for individual tasks.
+While `tag` values are helpful when you want to be able to quickly and conveniently run a set of related tasks via `--tasks my_tag_name`, often, we wish to implement more complex logic. For example, the MMLU benchmark contains 57 *subtasks* that must all be *averaged* together in order to report a final 'MMLU score'.
 
-For example, let's build a config for evaluating MMLU and a few natural language inference tasks. For MMLU, we can write the name for the benchmark as a subtask written under `task`. You can configure the parameters such as `num_fewshot`. If the task being configured is a group such as `mmlu` or `super_glue`, the parameter set will be applied to all of the subtasks.
+Groupings of tasks might also use particular variants of a task--for example, we might want to default to evaluating a task as 5-shot when called as part of a given grouping, but not have a preference for number of shots when evaluating it as a standalone.
+
+We implement this via **groups**, which are distinct from tags. Groups can be implemented via *group config* YAML files, which are laid out similarly but slightly differently to tasks' YAML configs.
+
+The most basic form of group can be defined via a YAML config similar to the following:
 
 ```yaml
-group: nli_and_mmlu
+group: nli_tasks
 task:
-  - group: nli_tasks
-    task:
   - cb
   - anli_r1
   - rte
-  - task: mmlu
-    num_fewshot: 2
+metadata:
+  version: 1.0
+```
+
+This will behave almost identically to a `tag` that includes these 3 tasks, but with one key distinction: we'll print the `nli_tasks` group as a row (with no associated metrics) in our table of outputs, and visually show that these 3 tasks appear under its subheader.
+
+
+Now, let's assume we actually want to report an aggregate score for `nli_tasks`. We would instead use a YAML config like the following:
+
+```yaml
+group: nli_tasks
+task:
+  - cb
+  - anli_r1
+  - rte
+aggregate_metric_list:
+  - metric: acc
+    aggregation: mean
+    weight_by_size: true # defaults to `true`. Set this to `false` to do a "macro" average (taking each subtask's average accuracy, and summing those accuracies and dividing by 3)--by default we do a "micro" average (retain all subtasks' per-document accuracies, and take the mean over all documents' accuracies to get our aggregate mean).
+metadata:
+  version: 1.0
 ```
-It's also important to note how you can basically insert a group config as a task. Here, to make a group of natural language inference tasks, you simply write like how you would normally write a group config but this time place that as part of a task list under the main group being built.
 
-### Duplicate Tasks in Group Configs
+Similar to our `metric_list` for listing out the metrics we want to calculate for a given task, we use an `aggregate_metric_list` field to specify which metric name to aggregate across subtasks, what aggregation function to use, and whether we should micro- or macro- average these metrics. See [./task_guide.md](./task_guide.md) for a full list of related sub-keys.
+
+**[!Tip]: currently, we predominantly only support the aggregation of group metrics that use `mean` (either micro- or macro- averaged) over their subtasks. If you require even more complex aggregation rules, you may want to perform aggregation offline.**
+
+Group configs can be fairly complex! We can do various operations, such as defining new subtask(s) inline in our group YAML, overriding an existing task's specific config value, or nesting existing groups within our
+
+For example, let's build a config for evaluating MMLU and a few natural language inference tasks. For MMLU, we can write the name for the benchmark as a subtask written under `task`. You can configure the parameters such as `num_fewshot`. If the task being configured is a group such as `mmlu` or `super_glue`, the parameter set will be applied to all of the subtasks.
 
-There might be cases where you might want to evaluate prompts and how models perform over prompt variations. You can list an existing task (In the example below, `anli_r1`) which varying `doc_to_text` implementation. To differentiate from each variation, we can utilize `task_alias`. LM-Eval will recognize that there are multiple variations of the same tasks and differentiate them.
 ```yaml
-group: flan_held_in
-group_alias: Flan (Held-In)
+group: nli_and_mmlu
 task:
-  # ANLI R1
-  - group: anli_r1_flan

 ## Beautifying Table Display
 
-To avoid conflict, each task needs to be registered with a unique name. Because of this, slight variations of task are still counted as unique tasks and need to be named uniquely. This could be done by appending an additional naming that may refer to the variation such as in MMLU where the template used to evaluated for flan are differentiated from the default by the prefix `mmlu_flan_*`. Printing the full task names can easily clutter the results table at the end of the evaluation especially when you have a long list of tasks or are using a benchmark that comprises of many tasks. To make it more legible, you can use `task_alias` and `group_alias` to provide an alternative task name and group name that will be printed. For example in `mmlu_abstract_algebra.yaml` we set `group_alias` to `stem` and `task_alias` to `abstract_algebra`.

-## Benchmarks
+# Group Configuration
 
 When evaluating a language model, it's is not unusual to test across a number of tasks that may not be related to one another in order to assess a variety of capabilities. To this end, it may be combursome to have to list the set of tasks or add a new group name to each yaml of each individual task.
 
-To solve this, we can create a benchmark yaml config. This is a config that contains the names of the tasks that should be included in a particular benchmark. The config consists of two main keys `group` which denotes the name of the benchmark and `task` which is where we can list the tasks. The tasks listed in `task` are the task names that have been registered. A good example would be the list of tasks used to evaluate the Pythia Suite.
-
-```yaml
-group: pythia
-task:
-  - lambada_openai
-  - wikitext
-  - piqa
-  - sciq
-  - wsc
-  - winogrande
-  - arc
-  - logiqa
-  - blimp
-  - hendrycksTest*
-```
+To solve this, we can create a **group** yaml config. This is a config that contains the names of the tasks that should be included in a particular group. The config consists of two main keys: a `group` key which denotes the name of the group (as it would be called from the command line, e.g. `mmlu`) and a `task` key which is where we can list the tasks. The tasks listed in `task` are the task names that have been registered. A good example of a group yaml config can be found at [../lm_eval/tasks/mmlu/default/_mmlu.yaml]. See also the [New Task Guide](./new_task_guide.md) for a more in-depth and tutorial-esque explanation of how to write complex GroupConfigs.
 
-It is also possible to list an existing task in your benchmark configuration with some adjustments. For example, a few tasks from mmlu is included `multimedqa`. There, the `task_alias` and `group_alias` (See [here](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness/blob/main/docs/new_task_guide.md#beautifying-table-display) for more details) are modified to suit the benchmark.
-
-```yaml
-group: multimedqa
-task:
-  - pubmedqa
-  - medmcqa
-  - medqa_4options
-  - task: mmlu_anatomy
-    task_alias: "anatomy (mmlu)"
-    group_alias: null
-  - task: mmlu_clinical_knowledge
-    task_alias: "clinical_knowledge (mmlu)"
-    group_alias: null
-  ...
-```
-
-Alternatively, benchmarks can have tasks that are customizable for each task. They can be defined like how a yaml task is usually set.
-
-```yaml
-group: t0_eval
-task:
-  # Coreference Resolution
-  - dataset_path: super_glue
-    dataset_name: wsc.fixed

+## Configurations
 
-If the benchmark contains the same dataset but with different configurations, use `task` to differentiate between them. For example, T0-Eval evaluates on 3 versions of ANLI but the huggingface dataset collects them in one dataset.
+Groups are configured via the `GroupConfig` object. Below, we describe all fields usable within the object, and their role in defining a task.

+### Parameters
 
-Calling the benchmark is done the same way we would call any task with `--tasks`. Benchmarks can be added in `lm_eval/tasks/benchmarks/`
+- **group** (`str`, defaults to `None`) — name of the group. Used to invoke it from the command line.
+- **group_alias** (`str`, defaults to `None`) - Alternative name for the group that will be printed in the table output.
+- **task** (`Union[str, list]`, defaults to `None`) - List of tasks that constitute the group.
+- **aggregate_metric_list** (`list`, defaults to `None`) - similar to `metric_list` in TaskConfigs, provide a list of configurations for metrics that should be aggregated across subtasks. Leaving empty will result in no aggregation being performed for this group. Keys for each list entry are:
+  - `metric: str` - the name of the metric to aggregate over (all subtasks must report a metric holding this name.)
+  - `aggregation: str` - what aggregation function to apply to aggregate these per-subtask metrics.  **currently, only `mean` is supported.**
+  - `weight_by_size: bool = True` whether to perform micro- averaging (`True`) or macro- (`False`) averaging of subtasks' accuracy scores when reporting the group's metric. MMLU, for example, averages over per-document accuracies (the *micro average*), resulting in the same accuracy as if one simply concatenated all 57 subjects into a single dataset and evaluated accuracy on that dataset.
+  - `filter_list: Union[str, List[str]] = "none"` - what filter keys one should match on to aggregate results. For example, if trying to aggregate over the `exact_match` metric using `strict-match` filter for `bbh_cot_zeroshot`, then set this to be `filter_list: "strict-match"`.  
+- **metadata** (`dict`, *optional*) - As with TaskConfigs, a field where extra config metadata can be passed. set the `num_fewshot` key within this to override the printed n_shot value in a results table for your group, for example.
