Recommended action: For API-only chat models use generative variants of tasks (e.g. *_generative / CoT tasks with answer extraction). For self-hosted models, serve them with an OpenAI-compatible /v1/completions endpoint (vLLM etc.) and use local-completions, or run the model directly with the hf/vllm backends. Option: Use local-completions against a /v1/completions endpoint for loglikelihood tasks [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Open-weight models you can serve yourself Steps: 1. Serve the model with an OpenAI-compatible completions endpoint (e.g. vLLM) 2. lm_eval --model local-completions --model_args model=<name>,base_url=http://<host>:8000/v1/completions,tokenized_requests=False --tasks mmlu Expected: multiple_choice tasks run with prompt logprobs Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
