Evals
Evals is a framework for evaluating LLMs and LLM systems
The openai/evals repository is a framework and registry for evaluating large language models and systems built with LLMs. It’s designed to let you define “evals” (evaluation tasks) in a structured way and run them against different models or agents, with the ability to score, compare, and analyze results. The framework supports templated YAML eval definitions, solver-based evaluations, custom metrics, and composition of multi-step evaluations. It includes utilities and APIs to plug in completion functions, manage prompts, wrap retries or error handling, and register new evaluation types. It also maintains a growing registry of standard benchmarks or “evals” that users can reuse (for example, tasks measuring reasoning, factual accuracy, or chain-of-thought capabilities). The design is modular so you can extend or compose new evals, integrate with your own model APIs, and capture rich metadata about each run (prompt, responses, metrics). -

GPT-NeoX
Implementation of model parallel autoregressive transformers on GPUs
This repository records EleutherAI's library for training large-scale language models on GPUs. Our current framework is based on NVIDIA's Megatron Language Model and has been augmented with techniques from DeepSpeed as well as some novel optimizations. We aim to make this repo a centralized and accessible place to gather techniques for training large-scale autoregressive language models, and accelerate research into large-scale training. For those looking for a TPU-centric codebase, we recommend Mesh Transformer JAX. If you are not looking to train models with billions of parameters from scratch, this is likely the wrong library to use. For generic inference needs, we recommend you use the Hugging Face transformers library instead which supports GPT-NeoX models. -

Following Instructions with Feedback
Training Language Models to Follow Instructions with Human Feedback
The following-instructions-human-feedback repository contains the code and supplementary materials underpinning OpenAI’s work in training language models (InstructGPT models) that better follow user instructions through human feedback. The repo hosts the model card, sample automatic evaluation outputs, and labeling guidelines used in the process. It is explicitly tied to the “Training language models to follow instructions with human feedback” paper, and serves as a reference for how OpenAI collects annotation guidelines, runs preference comparisons, and evaluates model behaviors. The repository is not a full implementation of the entire RLHF pipeline, but rather an archival hub supporting the published research—providing transparency around evaluation and human labeling standards. It includes directories such as automatic-eval-samples (samples of model outputs on benchmark tasks) and a model-card.md that describes the InstructGPT models’ intended behavior, limitations, and biases. -

LLaMA 3
The official Meta Llama 3 GitHub site
This repository is the former home for Llama 3 model artifacts and getting-started code, covering pre-trained and instruction-tuned variants across multiple parameter sizes. It introduced the public packaging of weights, licenses, and quickstart examples that helped developers fine-tune or run the models locally and on common serving stacks. As the Llama stack evolved, Meta consolidated repositories and marked this one deprecated, pointing users to newer, centralized hubs for models, utilities, and docs. Even as a deprecated repo, it documents the transition path and preserves references that clarify how Llama 3 releases map into the current ecosystem. Practically, it functioned as a bridge between Llama 2 and later Llama releases by standardizing distribution and starter code for inference and fine-tuning. Teams still treat it as historical reference material for version lineage and migration notes. -

LangChain
⚡ Building applications with LLMs through composability ⚡
Large language models (LLMs) are emerging as a transformative technology, enabling developers to build applications that they previously could not. But using these LLMs in isolation is often not enough to create a truly powerful app - the real power comes when you can combine them with other sources of computation or knowledge. This library is aimed at assisting in the development of those types of applications. -

MGIE
Guiding Instruction-based Image Editing via Multimodal Large Language
MGIE—Guiding Instruction-based Image Editing—demonstrates how a multimodal LLM can parse natural-language editing instructions and then drive image transformations accordingly. The project focuses on making edits explainable and controllable: the model interprets text guidance, reasons over image content, and outputs edits aligned with user intent. It’s positioned as an ICLR 2024 Spotlight work, with code and references that show how to connect language planning to concrete image operations. This bridges a gap between free-form prompts and precise edits by letting users describe “what” and “where” in everyday language. The repo includes instructions, examples, and links that situate MGIE within Apple’s broader line of multimodal research. For practitioners, MGIE provides a blueprint for text-to-edit systems that are more semantically grounded than naive prompt-only pipelines. -

ML Ferret
Refer and Ground Anything Anywhere at Any Granularity
Ferret is Apple’s end-to-end multimodal large language model designed specifically for flexible referring and grounding: it can understand references of any granularity (boxes, points, free-form regions) and then ground open-vocabulary descriptions back onto the image. The core idea is a hybrid region representation that mixes discrete coordinates with continuous visual features, so the model can fluidly handle “any-form” referring while maintaining precise spatial localization. The repo presents the vision-language pipeline, model assets, and paper resources that show how Ferret answers questions, follows instructions, and returns grounded outputs rather than just text. In practice, this enables tasks like “find that small red icon next to the chart and describe it” where both the linguistic reference and the visual region are ambiguous without fine spatial reasoning.
