Compared to other assessment tools, OpenBench is differentiated in three ways:
- Code Maintainability: Adoption of shared component design (e.g., unified math scorer) reduces duplicate code between different benchmark tests by more than 50%
- Optimization of user experience: By

Interface provides visual analytics - Assessing consistency: All tests are implemented based on the inspect-ai framework, ensuring consistent control of core evaluation variables such as temperature parameters and sampling strategies.
It is especially suitable for development teams that need to frequently add or remove metrics or deeply customize the evaluation process. For example, when adding industry-specific tests, developers can inherit existing template classes to quickly implement new assessments.
