Any Easy and Local Way to Run Benchmarks? (alien.top)

I want to see if some presets and custom modifications work well in benchmarks, but running HellaSwag or MMLU looks too complicated for me, and it takes 10+ hours to upload 20GBs of data.

I assume there isn't a convenient webui for chumps to run benchmarks with (apart from ooba perplexity, which I assume isn't the same thing?). Any advise?

This can kinda be done, but it’s not as simple as just that. You would need to also infer in many cases the prompt templates. Also many/most benchmarks are designed with untuned models in mind, meaning you typically need to add a system prompt/instructions… doing that also adds complexity because the best prompt for one model is likely different from the next. Also chat vs instruct vs base models in the same eval would be… meh. That said I think there is value in this and working on it as part of my cli tool with some warnings that the results might be less then quantitative
