Running Benchmarks¶

Built-in Benchmark Tool¶

# Run full benchmark
k13d bench --all

# Run specific category
k13d bench --category troubleshooting

# Compare models
k13d bench --models gpt-4,gpt-3.5,ollama/llama3

# Output format
k13d bench --format json --output results.json

Custom Benchmarks¶

Create custom test cases:

# benchmark-tasks.yaml
tasks:
  - name: "Scale deployment"
    prompt: "Scale nginx to 5 replicas"
    expected_tool: "kubectl"
    expected_pattern: "scale.*replicas.*5"

  - name: "Check pod logs"
    prompt: "Show me nginx pod logs"
    expected_tool: "kubectl"
    expected_pattern: "logs.*nginx"

Run:

k13d bench --tasks benchmark-tasks.yaml
