One runner for every benchmark, every model.
One Runtime, Any BenchmarkA harness is the infrastructure that actually runs an evaluation — not the test itself, but the plumbing that executes it the same way every time. Without one, every new benchmark needs its own setup, and results from different runs can't be trusted to mean the same thing. Indic Harness is that shared runtime: plug in any regional-language benchmark and it runs identically against every model, checkpoint, and iteration.
Why a harness matters
What Indic Harness delivers today
A Runtime Built to Stay Out of the Way
Pluggable Benchmark Execution
Any benchmark or task suite plugs into the same runner, so adding a new test doesn't mean building new infrastructure.
Consistent, Repeatable Runs
Every run follows the same setup and scoring path, so results are comparable across models, checkpoints, and time.
Engine-Agnostic by Design
The execution engine underneath can be swapped or upgraded without changing how the rest of the evaluation pipeline calls it.
Where Indic Harness drives value
Standing Up a New Benchmark Fast
When a new regional-language task set needs testing, it plugs into the existing runner instead of requiring its own execution pipeline.
- ✓New task suites reuse the same runner, scoring path, and output format.
- ✓No separate infrastructure stood up per benchmark.
- ✓Consistent with how every other benchmark in the system runs.
Comparing Across Model Iterations
Every model checkpoint runs through the same harness, so comparisons across iterations are apples-to-apples.
- ✓The same runner executes every checkpoint, old and new.
- ✓Results are directly comparable since nothing about the execution path changes between runs.
- ✓Feeds directly into the gating decisions Indic Eval makes on each iteration.
