Overview
OpenAI Evals是一个专门用于评估大型语言模型(LLM)和基于LLM系统的框架。该工具提供了一个开源的基准测试注册表，包含多种评估维度来测试OpenAI模型的性能。Evals不仅提供现有的评估套件，还允许用户为特定用例编写自定义评估。该框架特别强调了评估在LLM开发中的重要性，正如OpenAI总裁Greg Brockman所说，高质量的评估是构建LLM应用时最有影响力的工作之一。该工具现在可以直接在OpenAI Dashboard中配置和运行，也支持本地部署。Evals还支持使用私有数据构建评估，而无需公开暴露这些数据，这对企业用户特别有价值。该框架与Weights & Biases集成，提供了更丰富的实验跟踪和可视化能力。
