AlpacaEval 2.0

AlpacaEval 2.0 is a length-controlled automatic evaluator for instruction-following language models that uses GPT-4 Turbo to assess model responses against a baseline. It evaluates models on 805 diverse instruction-following tasks including creative writing, classification, programming, and general knowledge questions. The benchmark achieves 0.98 Spearman correlation with ChatBot Arena while being fast (< 3 minutes) and affordable (< $10 in OpenAI credits). It addresses length bias in automatic evaluation through length-controlled win-rates and uses weighted scoring based on response quality.

Granite 3.3 8B Base from IBM currently leads the AlpacaEval 2.0 leaderboard with a score of 0.627 across 4 evaluated AI models.
