HELM
Reproducible, multi-scenario benchmarking of foundation models
HELM is profiled here as a Evaluation tool for engineering teams. Read about features, pricing, and how it compares to related options in the tools directory.
Description
HELM, Holistic Evaluation of Language Models, is an open-source benchmarking project from Stanford's Center for Research on Foundation Models. It evaluates models across many scenarios and reports calibration, resilience, fairness, and efficiency alongside accuracy, so a comparison reflects several dimensions of behavior at once. The project publishes living leaderboards with full transparency into prompts, predictions, and results. Its emphasis on transparency lets anyone inspect the exact prompts and predictions behind a score, which supports independent verification. Specialized leaderboards extend the methodology to medicine, safety, and vision-language models.
