+### Using the dummy model
+To debug or obtain random baseline scores for a given set of tasks, you can use the `dummy` model:
+```shell
+python run_evals_accelerate.py \
+    --model_args "dummy"\
+    --tasks <task parameters> \
+    --output_dir output_dir
+```
+This "model" randomly generates logprobs (for selection/accuracy tasks) and the string "random baseline" for generation tasks.
+You can also select a specific seed for the random logprob values generated by the dummy model: `--model_args "dummy,seed=123"`.

 ## Deep thanks
 `lighteval` was originally built on top of the great [Eleuther AI Harness](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness) (we use the latter to power the [Open LLM Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderboard)). We also took a lot of inspiration from the amazing [HELM](https://crfm.stanford.edu/helm/latest/), notably for metrics.
