Paper · Code · Dataset · Issue

Create an environment (requires Conda installation):

Use the following command to create a new Conda environment named robustgymnasium with Python 3.10:

conda create -n paperbench  python=3.10

Activate the newly created environment:

conda activate paperbench

Install dependency packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run VLLM server

export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=4,5,6,7   
python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server \
  --model meta-llama/Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --port 8002 \
  --tensor-parallel-size 4 \
  --max-model-len 328816 \
  --dtype auto \
  --gpu-memory-utilization 0.90 \
  --trust-remote-code

For personalization evaluation

bash paperbench/personalization/eva_personalization.sh

For privacy evaluation
