EuroEval
EuroEvalBenchmarking framework for language models across 30+ European languages, maintained at the Alexandra Institute and formerly known as ScandEval. It evaluates encoders, decoders and instruction-tuned models alike and publishes per-language leaderboards at euroeval.com.
Formerly ScandEval; the legacy scandeval package still draws about 2.2K downloads a month, and even summed with euroeval's the product stays under 10K, so the rename does not move the band. Verified 2026-09-01 via the EuroEval/EuroEval repository, its license endpoint, its README, euroeval.com, the PyPI JSON backlink and pypistats.

Adoption
1 high confidenceThe euroeval package draws 750 PyPI downloads in the trailing 30 days, banding at level 1 (<10K). The package is the documented install path and is backlink-verified. The legacy scandeval package (the project's pre-rename name) still draws 2,207 a month; summed the product stays well under 10K, so the band holds across the rename.

last_month = 750 downloads of the euroeval package
- https://pypistats.org/api/packages/scandeval/recent recorded 2026-09-01
last_month = 2,207 downloads of the legacy scandeval package — recorded so the rename's second channel is visible; the sum stays under 10K

Capability
3 medium confidenceThe deepest European-language coverage in the category — 30+ languages, all model classes, reproducible datasets and public leaderboards — but a single-domain harness with a narrow task surface and one primary maintainer, an order below lighteval's 1000+ tasks and backend spread, so one below lighteval beside bigcodebench and olmes.
