# LLM Bench Fail Analyzer

Analyzes failed llm bench results for models, which were run with transformers, optimum-intel or GenAI backends; Provides fixes or insights for troubleshooting.

## When to Use

- llm_bench fails during execution pipeline with the model

## Inputs

The user must provide:

- **model_dir**: path to the directory with the model (e.g. `/path/to/tencent_HY-MT1.5-1.8B`)
- **log_info**: path to the folder containing the failed llm_bench log files or llm_bench log file or execution output

## Code Structure Reference

## Procedure


### Step 1: Analyze the logs

If the logs for llm_bench don't contain failures, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, follow the next steps:
  - Read the corresponding log for the full traceback and context.
  - Analyze the failure root cause from the log.
  - Define whether fail relates to llm_bench or backend/model.
  - If it's a llm_bench bug/limitation, implement necessary fixes to llm_bench tool. Use the Code Structure Reference to locate the exact functions to modify. Follow OpenVINO GenAI coding guidelines from `.github/copilot-instructions.md`. Ensure changes don't break existing functionality. Add appropriate error messages and logging. Test changes by re-running llm_bench tool with corresponding cmd parameters.
  - If it's a model issue or backend limitation, provide description in the report.


### Step 2: Report Results

Add the results for each llm_bench run to the logs.
Results format:

## Model Information
- **Model dir**: `<model_dir>`
- **Task**: `<task>`
- **Status**: PASSED / FAILED
- **Log**: <log_dir or log_file if provided>
- **Issue**: <description if failed>
- **Error message**: <short and relevant error messages if failed>
- **Possible fix**: <description of fix if failed>
- **LLM Bench modification**: modified / nothing changed
- **After fix status**: <PASSED / FAILED if failed>

### Security

- **NEVER** install any packages. Assume the environment is pre-configured.
- **NEVER** modify `model_dir` — pass it exactly as provided by the user.
