Open Lithuanian LLM Leaderboard

Open Lithuanian LLM Leaderboard (v1.0.1)

The Open Lithuanian LLM Evaluation Leaderboard, developed by Neurotechnology provides a comprehensive benchmarking system specifically designed for Lithuanian LLMs. This leaderboard, based on the open-source LM Evaluation Harness, offers a unique platform for evaluating the performance of large language models (LLMs) on tasks that demand linguistic proficiency and technical skill in Lithuanian. Note: This leaderboard is continuously updating its data and models, reflecting the latest developments in Lithuanian LLMs. It is currently in version 1.0.1, serving as the initial benchmark for Lithuanian LLM evaluation, with plans for future enhancements.

1. Key Features

1. Open Evaluation Access
   The leaderboard allows open participation, meaning that developers and researchers working with open-source models can submit evaluation requests for their models. This accessibility encourages the development and testing of Lithuanian LLMs within the broader AI ecosystem.

2. Task Diversity
   Six specialized tasks have been curated for this leaderboard, each tailored to challenge different aspects of a model’s capabilities. These tasks include:

   • MMLU
   • GSM8K
   • TruthfulQA
   • ARC Easy
   • Winogrande
   • Hellaswag
   • Belebele

   Each dataset is available in Lithuanian, providing a robust testing ground for models in a non-English setting. The datasets collectively contain over 40k samples across various categories such as Common Knowledge, Reasoning, Summarization, Math, and Specialized Examinations, offering comprehensive coverage of diverse linguistic and technical challenges.

3. Open-Source Dataset Collection
   A dataset collection of the evaluation is hosted on Hugging Face Datasets, offering the AI community a glimpse of the benchmark content and format. This sample allows developers to pre-assess their models against representative data before a full leaderboard evaluation.

4. Development

   This leaderboard is developed by Neurotechnology and authored by Artūras Nakvosas, leveraging cutting-edge industrial expertise to create a high-quality, open benchmarking tool. The project underscores a commitment to advancing Lithuanian LLMs through innovative solutions and fostering the growth of the local AI ecosystem.

5. Comprehensive Evaluation Pipeline
   By integrating a standardized evaluation pipeline, models are assessed across a variety of data types, including text, mathematical formulas, and numerical data. This multi-faceted approach enhances the evaluation’s reliability and allows for precise, nuanced assessment of model performance across multiple dimensions.

2. Background and Goals

Recent months have seen a notable increase in the development of Lithuanian LLMs by research centers and AI companies in Lithuania. However, the lack of reliable, standardized benchmarks for Lithuanian LLMs has made it challenging to evaluate model quality comprehensively. Global benchmarks typically do not support Lithuanian, resulting in skewed or unreliable results for Lithuanian LLMs.

This leaderboard addresses this gap by providing a locally-focused, transparent system that enables consistent, fair comparisons of Lithuanian LLMs. It is expected to be a valuable tool for Lithuanian-speaking businesses and developers, allowing them to select models best suited to their needs. Researchers and model developers also benefit from the competitive environment, with opportunities to showcase and improve their models based on benchmark rankings.

3. Data Privacy and Integrity

To maintain evaluation integrity and prevent overfitting or data leakage, only part of the benchmark dataset is openly available. This limited access approach upholds model evaluation reliability, ensuring that results are genuinely representative of each model’s capabilities across unseen data.

The leaderboard represents a significant milestone in Lithuanian LLMs and is positioned to become the leading standard for LLM evaluation in the Lithuanian-speaking world.

Submitting a Model for Evaluation

To submit your open-source model for evaluation, follow these steps:

1. Ensure your model is on Hugging Face: Your model must be publicly available on Hugging Face.

2. Submit Request: Send a request with your model's Hugging Face identifier via the provided submission form or email.

3. Manual Queue: Please note that the evaluation process is currently handled manually. Submissions will be queued and processed in the order received.

4. Results: Once the evaluation is complete, your model’s results will be updated on the leaderboard and shared with you.

We appreciate your patience and contributions to the Lithuanian LLM ecosystem!
