# BFCL-v4
## Overview
BFCL-v4 (Berkeley Function-Calling Leaderboard V4) is a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating agentic function-calling capabilities of LLMs. It tests web search, memory operations, and format sensitivity as building blocks for agentic applications.
## Task Description
- **Task Type**: Agentic Function Calling Evaluation
- **Input**: Scenarios requiring function calls for web search, memory, etc.
- **Output**: Correct function calls with proper arguments
- **Capabilities**: Web search, memory read/write, format handling
## Key Features
- Holistic agentic evaluation framework
- Tests building blocks for LLM agents (search, memory, formatting)
- Multiple scoring categories for detailed analysis
- Supports both FC models and non-FC models
- Optional web search with SerpAPI integration
## Evaluation Notes
- **Installation Required**: `pip install bfcl-eval==2025.10.27.1`
- Primary metric: **Accuracy** per category
- Configure `is_fc_model` based on model capabilities
- Optional: Set `SERPAPI_API_KEY` for web search tasks
- [Usage Example](https://evalscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/third_party/bfcl_v4.html)

### Using CLI
```bash
evalscope eval \
--model YOUR_MODEL \
--api-url OPENAI_API_COMPAT_URL \
--api-key EMPTY_TOKEN \
--datasets bfcl_v4 \
--limit 10 # Remove this line for formal evaluation
```
### Using Python
```python
from evalscope import run_task
from evalscope.config import TaskConfig
task_cfg = TaskConfig(
model='YOUR_MODEL',
api_url='OPENAI_API_COMPAT_URL',
api_key='EMPTY_TOKEN',
datasets=['bfcl_v4'],
dataset_args={
'bfcl_v4': {
# subset_list: ['irrelevance', 'live_irrelevance', 'live_multiple'] # optional, evaluate specific subsets
# extra_params: {} # uses default extra parameters
}
},
limit=10, # Remove this line for formal evaluation
)
run_task(task_cfg=task_cfg)
```
