Introducing LiveBench: a benchmark for LLMs designed with test set contamination and objective evaluation in mind.

LiveBench has the following properties:

• LiveBench is designed to limit potential contamination by releasing new questions monthly, as well as having questions based on recently-released datasets, arXiv papers, news articles, and IMDb movie synopses.
• Each question has verifiable, objective ground-truth answers, allowing hard questions to be scored accurately and automatically, without the use of an LLM judge.
• LiveBench currently contains a set of 18 diverse tasks across 6 categories, and we will release new, harder tasks over time.

Tested on Python 3.10

cd LiveBench
pip install torch packaging  # These need to be installed prior to other dependencies.
pip install -e .

Note: The fastchat package version on pip is currently out of date, so we strongly recommend pip uninstall fastchat before running the above, since it will then automatically install a more recent commit of fastchat.

Note for CPU users: If installing on a CPU-only machine (e.g. to run api models only), you will need to manually remove flash-attn from the requirements list in pyproject.toml.

Our repo is adapted from FastChat's excellent llm_judge module, and it also contains code from LiveCodeBench and IFEval.

cd livebench

To generate model answers on LiveBench, run:

python gen_model_answer.py --model-path /path/to/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2/ --model-id Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 --dtype bfloat16 --bench-name live_bench

For API-based models, first set the appropriate key and then run the gen_api_answer.py. We currently support the following APIs: OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Cohere, and Gemini. The command to run all of LiveBench on an api_model_name, run this command:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=<your_key>
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<your_key>
export MISTRAL_API_KEY=<your_key>
export CO_API_KEY=<your_key>
export GEMINI_API_KEY=<your_key>
python gen_api_answer.py --model <api_model_name> --bench-name live_bench

To generate model answers with VLLM or other arbitrary APIs matching the OpenAI API format, run:

export LIVEBENCH_API_KEY=<your API key if needed. Usually not needed for VLLM>
python gen_api_answer.py --model <api_model_name> --bench-name live_bench --api-base <your endpoint. Often, for VLLM, this is http://localhost:8000/v1>

To score the model outputs:

python gen_ground_truth_judgment.py --bench-name live_bench

To show all the results:

python show_livebench_results.py

You may want to run these commands on just some models. To run any of the above python files (gen_model_answer.py, gen_api_answer.py, gen_ground_truth_judgment, or show_livebench_results) for specific models, use the following argument styles:

python gen_model_answer.py          --bench-name live_bench --model-path /path/to/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2/ --model-id Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 --dtype bfloat16 
python gen_api_answer.py            --bench-name live_bench --model gpt-4-turbo
python gen_ground_truth_judgment.py --bench-name live_bench --model-list Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 Llama-2-7b-chat-hf claude-3-opus-20240229
python show_livebench_results.py    --bench-name live_bench --model-list Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 Llama-2-7b-chat-hf claude-3-opus-20240229

Or, you may want to show results for a specific category or task of LiveBench by using the --bench-name argument. Here, we run show_livebench_results.py on just the web_of_lies_v2 task:

python show_livebench_results.py --bench-name live_bench/reasoning/web_of_lies_v2

To optionally download question.jsonl files (for inspection) and answer/judgment files from the leaderboard, use

python download_questions.py
python download_leaderboard.py

The questions for each of the categories can be found below:

• Reasoning
• Math
• Coding
• Language
• Data Analysis
• Instruction Following

Also available are the model answers and the model judgments.

Here, we describe our dataset documentation. This information is also available in our paper.
