EvalScope
ModelScope (Alibaba)One-stop evaluation framework from the ModelScope community that runs LLM, VLM, embedding and AIGC benchmarks and inference stress tests from a single CLI. It drives OpenCompass and VLMEvalKit as pluggable backends and adds the performance benchmarking side that plain accuracy harnesses leave out.
Distinct from the corpus's swift (ms-swift), the same community's training framework. Verified 2026-09-01 via the modelscope/evalscope repository, its license endpoint, its README, the PyPI JSON backlink and pypistats.

Apache-2.0 and fully public. The LICENSE body is the stock Apache-2.0 text under "Copyright 2022-2023 Alibaba ModelScope" with no appended terms. `pip install 'evalscope[service]'` in the README is an ordinary optional-dependency extra, not a paid gate; no pricing, enterprise edition or license key appears in the 28KB README.

README installs with `pip install evalscope` and runs evaluation and perf stress tests locally; backends (OpenCompass, VLMEvalKit, RAGEval) ship as extras. No pricing, paid tier, enterprise edition or license key in the README.
Adoption
2 high confidenceThe evalscope package draws 75,444 PyPI downloads in the trailing 30 days, which bands at level 2 (10K-100K) on the software scale. Unlike opencompass and lmms-eval, `pip install evalscope` is the README's front-and-center install path, so the registry is the product's primary channel and the count is the instrument. Package identity backlink-verified (Homepage -> modelscope/evalscope, ModelScope team publisher).

Capability
3 medium confidenceBroad model-type coverage and a performance-testing side the accuracy harnesses lack, but much of its benchmark depth is delegated — OpenCompass and VLMEvalKit run as its backends — and it carries no leaderboard or standardization role of its own, so it sits one below opencompass alongside bigcodebench.
