🚨 How green is your model? 🌱 Introducing a new feature in the Comparator tool: Environmental Impact for responsible #LLM research!
👉 open-llm-leaderboard/comparator
Now, you can not only compare models by performance, but also by their environmental footprint!
🌍 The Comparator calculates CO₂ emissions during evaluation and shows key model characteristics: evaluation score, number of parameters, architecture, precision, type... 🛠️
Make informed decisions about your model's impact on the planet and join the movement towards greener AI!

🚨 Instruct-tuning impacts models differently across families! Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct excels on IFEval but struggles with MATH-Hard, while Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct avoids MATH performance loss! Why? Can they follow the format in examples? 📊 Compare models:

Finding the Best SmolLM for Your Project
Need an LLM assistant but unsure which hashtag#smolLM to run locally? With so many models available, how can you decide which one suits your needs best? 🤔
If the model you’re interested in is evaluated on the Hugging Face Open LLM Leaderboard, there’s an easy way to compare them: use the model Comparator tool: open-llm-leaderboard/comparator
Let’s walk through an example👇
Let’s compare two solid options:
- Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct from Alibaba Cloud Qwen (1.5B params)
- gemma-2-2b-it from Google (2.5B params)
For an assistant, you want a model that’s great at instruction following. So, how do these two models stack up on the IFEval task?
What about other evaluations?
Both models are close in performance on many other tasks, showing minimal differences. Surprisingly, the 1.5B Qwen model performs just as well as the 2.5B Gemma in many areas, even though it's smaller in size! 📊
This is a great example of how parameter size isn’t everything. With efficient design and training, a smaller model like Qwen2.5-1.5B can match or even surpass larger models in certain tasks.
Looking for other comparisons? Drop your model suggestions below! 👇

🚨 We’ve just released a new tool to compare the performance of models in the 🤗 Open LLM Leaderboard: the Comparator 🎉
open-llm-leaderboard/comparator
Want to see how two different versions of LLaMA stack up? Let’s walk through a step-by-step comparison of LLaMA-3.1 and LLaMA-3.2. 🦙🧵👇
1/ Load the Models' Results
- Go to the 🤗 Open LLM Leaderboard Comparator: open-llm-leaderboard/comparator
- Search for "LLaMA-3.1" and "LLaMA-3.2" in the model dropdowns.
- Press the Load button. Ready to dive into the results!
2/ Compare Metric Results in the Results Tab 📊
- Head over to the Results tab.
- Here, you’ll see the performance metrics for each model, beautifully color-coded using a gradient to highlight performance differences: greener is better! 🌟
- Want to focus on a specific task? Use the Task filter to hone in on comparisons for tasks like BBH or MMLU-Pro.
3/ Check Config Alignment in the Configs Tab ⚙️
- To ensure you’re comparing apples to apples, head to the Configs tab.
- Review both models’ evaluation configurations, such as metrics, datasets, prompts, few-shot configs...
- If something looks off, it’s good to know before drawing conclusions! ✅
4/ Compare Predictions by Sample in the Details Tab 🔍
- Curious about how each model responds to specific inputs? The Details tab is your go-to!
- Select a Task (e.g., MuSR) and then a Subtask (e.g., Murder Mystery) and then press the Load Details button.
- Check out the side-by-side predictions and dive into the nuances of each model’s outputs.
5/ With this tool, it’s never been easier to explore how small changes between model versions affect performance on a wide range of tasks. Whether you’re a researcher or enthusiast, you can instantly visualize improvements and dive into detailed comparisons.
🚀 Try the 🤗 Open LLM Leaderboard Comparator now and take your model evaluations to the next level!
