A guidebook from Hugging Face sharing practical and theoretical knowledge about LLM evaluation, gathered while managing the Open LLM Leaderboard and designing lighteval. It covers automatic benchmarks, human evaluation, and LLM-as-a-judge approaches.

Use cases

• learn how to evaluate an llm on my specific task
• design my own llm evaluation benchmark
• understand llm-as-a-judge evaluation
• how to run human evaluation of language models
• tips for troubleshooting llm benchmark results
• find evaluation datasets for language models
• learn llm evaluation basics as a beginner

When to choose

• you are new to LLM evaluation and want a structured introduction
• you need practical tips for designing automatic benchmarks or judge prompts
• you want curated references and evaluation datasets

When to avoid

• you need a maintained, up-to-date version (the repo is no longer maintained; see the OpenEvals space)
• you want runnable evaluation tooling rather than documentation
• you need evaluation of non-LLM models
