## What it is
A collection of benchmark evaluations from OpenAI for measuring frontier LLM capabilities, including PaperBench (AI paper replication), SWE-Lancer (freelance software engineering tasks), and EVMbench (smart contract security). Each eval is an isolated Python project managed with uv.

## Use cases
- benchmark frontier LLM capabilities
- evaluate models on real freelance software engineering tasks
- test whether models can replicate state-of-the-art AI papers
- assess model performance on smart contract security tasks
- reproduce published OpenAI eval results
- compare model performance across capability benchmarks

## When to choose
- you need standardized benchmarks for evaluating frontier LLMs
- you want to reproduce results from OpenAI's published eval papers
- you're researching model capabilities in coding, research replication, or security

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose eval framework for building custom benchmarks
- you want lightweight model testing rather than heavyweight research-grade evals
- your use case is outside the included eval domains

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: benchmarking, testing
- domain: artificial-intelligence, large-language-models, developer-tools, security
- platform: python, cli
- tags: llm-evals, frontier-models, paperbench, swelancer, evmbench, model-capabilities, ai-safety, evaluation
