Model Evaluation Framework

A simple asynchronous framework for evaluating language models on reasoning tasks using the OpenRouter API.

Evaluation Results Repository

In order to keep the main repo clean and not clutter it with evaluation traces from different models, we store all evaluation results in a separate repository: reasoning-gym-eval.

If you run evaluations and want to contribute your results, please create a pull request in the reasoning-gym-eval repository, not in the main reasoning-gym repo.

Overview

This framework provides tools to evaluate language models on the reasoning_gym datasets. It supports:

  • Concurrent evaluation of multiple questions and datasets
  • Customizable dataset configurations
  • Automatic result aggregation and summary generation
  • Rate limiting for API calls

Setup

  1. Install reasoning-gym in development mode:
pip install -e ..
  1. Install the additional dependencies required for evaluation:
pip install -r requirements-eval.txt
  1. Set your API key (if required by the API):

    For OpenRouter, you can set it as an environment variable:

    export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your-api-key
    

    Or provide it directly when running the script:

    python eval.py --config your_config.yaml --api-key your-api-key
    

    Note: API key is optional for some APIs (e.g., local deployments).

  2. Prepare your evaluation configuration in YAML or JSON format (see example in example_config.yaml):

# Example configuration
model: "meta-llama/llama-3.3-70b-instruct"
provider: "Hyperbolic"  # Optional, can be omitted
output_dir: "results"
max_concurrent: 10
default_size: 20  # Default size for all datasets
default_seed: 42  # Default seed for all datasets
max_tokens: 32768  # Maximum generation length (optional)
temperature: 0.6   # Generation temperature (optional)
top_p: 0.95        # Top-p sampling parameter (optional)
completions_per_prompt: 1  # Number of completions to generate per prompt (each is a separate API call) (optional)
system_prompt_id: "default"  # Use a predefined system prompt by ID (optional)
# system_prompt: "Your custom system prompt here"  # Or specify a custom system prompt directly

categories:
  - category: "algebra"
    datasets:
      - dataset: "complex_arithmetic"
        params:
          min_real: -10
          max_real: 10
          min_imag: -10
          max_imag: 10

  - category: "arithmetic"
    datasets:
      - dataset: "chain_sum"
        size: 12
        seed: 43
        params:
          min_digits: 2
          allow_negation: true

      - dataset: "products"
        size: 10
        seed: 43
        params:
          min_digits: 2
          allow_negation: true

For example, to evaluate Claude 3.5 Sonnet on algorithmic datasets:

model: "anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet"
provider: "Anthropic"
output_dir: "results"
max_concurrent: 5
default_size: 50
default_seed: 45

categories:
  - category: "algorithmic"
    datasets:
      - dataset: "count_primes"
      - dataset: "game_of_life"
      - dataset: "graph_color"
      - dataset: "isomorphic_strings"
      - dataset: "letter_jumble"
      - dataset: "rotate_matrix"
      - dataset: "sentence_reordering"
      - dataset: "string_manipulation"
      - dataset: "word_ladder"
      - dataset: "word_sorting"

Generating Configurations

You can generate a configuration file with all registered datasets using the generate_config.py script:

python generate_config.py --output my_config.yaml --model "anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet" --provider "Anthropic" --size 50 --seed 42

Options:

  • --output: Output YAML file path (default: all_datasets.yaml)
  • --model: Model name (default: openai/gpt-4)
  • --provider: Provider name (default: None)
  • --size: Default dataset size (default: 100)
  • --seed: Default dataset seed (default: 42)
  • --include-params: Include all configuration parameters (default: False)
  • --category: Only include datasets from this category (default: None)

Generating Config for a Specific Category

To generate a configuration file containing only datasets from a specific category:

python generate_config.py --category algorithmic --output algorithmic_datasets.yaml --model "anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet"

This will create a configuration file that includes only datasets in the "algorithmic" category. This is useful when you want to focus your evaluation on a specific type of reasoning tasks.

Example categories include: math, arithmetic, reasoning, algorithmic, etc. The category is automatically extracted from the dataset's module name (e.g., from reasoning_gym.math.dataset_name, it extracts "math").

You can see all available categories by running the script without the --category option, as it will print all categories at the end of execution.

Running Evaluations

python eval.py --config configs/your_config.yaml

For example:

python eval.py --config example_config.yaml --full-results

You can specify a different API base URL if needed:

python eval.py --config example_config.yaml --base-url "https://api.together.xyz/v1" --api-key "your-together-api-key"

Resuming Interrupted Evaluations

If an evaluation is interrupted (e.g., due to a network issue or system crash), you can resume it from where it left off:

python eval.py --config example_config.yaml --resume results/model_name_20250315_123045/

This will:

  1. Load the checkpoint from the specified directory
  2. Skip datasets that have already been completed
  3. Continue with the remaining datasets
  4. Produce the same final output as if the evaluation had run without interruption

The checkpoint system automatically saves progress after each dataset completes, so you can safely interrupt and resume evaluations at any time.

The results will be stored in a directory named after the model and timestamp, containing:

  • summary.json - Summary of all results
  • results.json - Full results (if --full-results is specified)
  • Individual dataset results in category subdirectories

For example:

results/
└── meta-llama_llama-3.3-70b-instruct_20250227_162030/
    ├── summary.json
    ├── results.json
    ├── algebra/
    │   └── complex_arithmetic.json
    └── arithmetic/
        ├── chain_sum.json
        └── products.json

Please upload your results to reasoning-gym-eval.
