### Support
The best way to get support is to open an issue on this repo or join the EleutherAI discord server](discord.gg/eleutherai). The `#lm-thunderdome` channel is dedicated to developing this project and the `#release-discussion` channel is for receiving support for our releases.

### Tensor Parallel + Optimized Inference with vLLM
We also support vLLM for faster inference on [supported model types](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/models/supported_models.html).
To run with vLLM, first install the vllm library, externally or via the lm_eval[vllm] extra:
```bash
pip install -e .[vllm]
```
Then, you can run the library as normal, for single-GPU or tensor-parallel inference, for example:

### Supported APIs and Inference Libraries
### Model APIs and Inference Servers
Our library also supports the evaluation of models served via several commercial APIs, and we hope to implement support for the most commonly used performant local/self-hosted inference servers.
A full accounting of the supported and planned libraries + APIs can be seen below:
To call a hosted model, use:
```bash
export OPENAI_API_SECRET_KEY=YOUR_KEY_HERE
lm_eval --model openai-completions \
--model_args engine=davinci \
--tasks lambada_openai,hellaswag
```
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.

It is on our roadmap to create task variants designed to enable models which do not serve logprobs/loglikelihoods to be compared with generation performance of open-source models.
Our library supports language models served via the OpenAI Completions API as follows:
```bash
export OPENAI_API_SECRET_KEY=YOUR_KEY_HERE
lm_eval \
--model openai-completions \
--model_args engine=davinci \
--tasks lambada_openai,hellaswag
```
While this functionality is only officially maintained for the official OpenAI API, it tends to also work for other hosting services that use the same API such as [goose.ai](goose.ai) with minor modification. We also have an implementation for the [TextSynth](https://textsynth.com/index.html) API, using `--model textsynth`.
### Other Frameworks
A number of other libraries contain scripts for calling the eval harness through their library. These include [GPT-NeoX](https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox/blob/main/eval_tasks/eval_adapter.py), [Megatron-DeepSpeed](https://github.com/microsoft/Megatron-DeepSpeed/blob/main/examples/MoE/readme_evalharness.md), and [mesh-transformer-jax](https://github.com/kingoflolz/mesh-transformer-jax/blob/master/eval_harness.py).

### Additional Features
If you have a Metal compatible Mac, you can run the eval harness using the MPS back-end by replacing `--device cuda:0` with `--device mps` (requires PyTorch version 2.1 or higher).
💡 **Tip**: You can inspect what the LM inputs look like by running the following command:
```bash
python write_out.py \
--tasks all_tasks \
--num_fewshot 5 \
--num_examples 10 \
--output_base_path /path/to/output/folder
```
This will write out one text file for each task.

We try to prioritize agreement with the procedures used by other groups to decrease the harm when people inevitably compare runs across different papers despite our discouragement of the practice. Historically, we also prioritized the implementation from "Language Models are Few Shot Learners" as our original goal was specifically to compare results with that paper.
