+# OLMES L-Eval Benchmark Validation
+
+**Goal**: Validate OLMES CLI commands and verify metrics using L-Eval (Long Context Evaluation Suite) for language model benchmarking.
+
+## What We're Validating
+
+This validation script implements the complete OLMES L-Eval benchmark pipeline:
+
+### 1. **CLI & Environment Validation**
+   - Python version (>= 3.9)
+   - Core ML libraries (torch, transformers, accelerate, datasets)
+   - Metric libraries (rouge-score, sacrebleu, numpy, pandas)
+   - Device availability (MPS/CUDA/CPU)
+
+### 2. **Model Loading**
+   - Load and initialize model on target device
+   - Verify tokenizer setup
+   - Check memory footprint
+
+### 3. **Smoke Test (Basic Generation)**
+   - Test basic inference pipeline
+   - Verify model generates coherent responses
+   - Check text generation quality
+
+### 4. **L-Eval Long-Context Tasks**
+   Five task types matching the L-Eval benchmark suite:
+   - **Long Document QA**: Question answering over extended passages
+   - **Summarization**: Condensing long-form content
+   - **Key Detail Extraction**: Information retrieval from context
+   - **Multi-hop Reasoning**: Complex reasoning across information
+   - **Long Context QA**: Closed-book question answering
+
+### 5. **Metrics Verification (OLMES Standard)**
+   - **Exact Match (EM)**: Binary exact answer matching
+   - **F1 Score**: Token-level precision-recall balance
+   - **ROUGE-1/2/L**: N-gram and longest common subsequence overlap
+   - **Character Accuracy**: Character-level similarity
+   - **Range Validation**: All metrics in [0, 1]

+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# 1. Setup environment (installs all dependencies via UV)
+./setup.sh
+
+# 2. Activate environment
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+# 3. Quick environment check (no model loading)
+python quick_validation.py
+
+# 4. Full OLMES L-Eval validation
+python run_validation.py --device auto
+```
+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Parameter | Default | Description |
+|-----------|---------|-------------|
+| Model | Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct | 1.5B parameter instruction-tuned model |
+| Device | auto | Picks MPS > CUDA > CPU |
+| Samples | 5 | Number of L-Eval tasks to run |
+| Max Tokens | 128 | Maximum new tokens per generation |
+| Output Dir | ./results | Directory for JSON results |
+
+**System**: Optimized for Apple Silicon M3 with 18GB RAM  
+**Inference**: MPS (Metal Performance Shaders) GPU acceleration
+
+---
+
+## Custom Usage
+
+```bash
+# Different model (any HuggingFace model)
+python run_validation.py --model "microsoft/phi-2"
+
+# Force CPU (no GPU)
+python run_validation.py --device cpu
+
+# More L-Eval samples (max 5)
+python run_validation.py --num-samples 5
+
+# Longer generation
+python run_validation.py --max-new-tokens 256
+
+# Custom output directory
+python run_validation.py --output-dir ./my_results
+```
+
+---
+
+## Validation Output
+
+The pipeline produces structured JSON results including:
+
+```json

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Issue | Solution |
+|-------|----------|
+| Model download slow | Model cached at `~/.cache/huggingface/hub/` |
+| MPS not available | Use `--device cpu` or `--device cuda` |
+| Out of memory | Reduce `--max-new-tokens` or use smaller model |
+| Import errors | Run `./setup.sh` to reinstall dependencies |
+| Module not found | Activate venv: `source .venv/bin/activate` |
