๐จ 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? ๐ 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? ๐ค
If the model youโre interested in is evaluated on the Hugging Face Open LLM Leaderboard, thereโs an easy way to compare them: use the model Comparator tool: open-llm-leaderboard/comparator
Letโs walk through an example๐
Letโs 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 thatโs 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! ๐
This is a great example of how parameter size isnโt 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! ๐

๐จ Weโve just released a new tool to compare the performance of models in the ๐ค Open LLM Leaderboard: the Comparator ๐
open-llm-leaderboard/comparator
Want to see how two different versions of LLaMA stack up? Letโs walk through a step-by-step comparison of LLaMA-3.1 and LLaMA-3.2. ๐ฆ๐งต๐
1/ Load the Models' Results
- Go to the ๐ค 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 ๐
- Head over to the Results tab.
- Here, youโll see the performance metrics for each model, beautifully color-coded using a gradient to highlight performance differences: greener is better! ๐
- 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 โ๏ธ
- To ensure youโre comparing apples to apples, head to the Configs tab.
- Review both modelsโ evaluation configurations, such as metrics, datasets, prompts, few-shot configs...
- If something looks off, itโs good to know before drawing conclusions! โ
4/ Compare Predictions by Sample in the Details Tab ๐
- 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 modelโs outputs.
5/ With this tool, itโs never been easier to explore how small changes between model versions affect performance on a wide range of tasks. Whether youโre a researcher or enthusiast, you can instantly visualize improvements and dive into detailed comparisons.
๐ Try the ๐ค Open LLM Leaderboard Comparator now and take your model evaluations to the next level!
