• highreadme#1

  Reposition the README's core value proposition immediately after the H1

  Why:

  CURRENT

  AlpacaEval 2.0 with length-controlled win-rates (paper) has a spearman correlation of 0.98 with ChatBot Arena while costing less than $10 of OpenAI credits run and running in less than 3 minutes. Our goal is to have a benchmark for chat LLMs that is: fast (< 5min), cheap (< $10), and highly correlated with humans (0.98).

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  AlpacaEval is the leading automatic, human-validated, and highly cost-effective evaluator for instruction-following language models, achieving a 0.98 correlation with ChatBot Arena for under $10 and in minutes.

  ## Comparison with Other LLM Evaluation Benchmarks
  AlpacaEval stands out from other evaluation frameworks by focusing on speed, cost-efficiency, and high correlation with human judgments for instruction-following LLMs. Unlike general-purpose frameworks such as OpenAI Evals or LM-Harness, AlpacaEval leverages an LLM-as-a-judge approach to provide rapid, automated evaluations. While tools like Ragas focus on specific aspects of RAG systems, AlpacaEval offers a comprehensive, human-validated benchmark for chat LLMs, achieving a 0.98 Spearman correlation with ChatBot Arena for under $10 and in minutes.
