# Run an Experiment to compare and evaluate responses from different models

<Tip>
  Another way to do this is to create multiple [dynamic
  columns](/datasets/dynamic-columns/dynamic-columns) - one for each model that
  you want to compare. [Learn
  more](/datasets/dynamic-columns/dynamic-columns-run-prompt).
</Tip>

You can run an experiment on Athina to compare multiple models in a few clicks.

### Create or Import a Dataset

Start with a dataset. Here are some instructions on how you can [create a dataset](/datasets/create-dataset) on Athina.

### Configure Experiment

1. Then click the **Experiment** button on the top-right, and select the models in the dropdown.

2. Enter the Prompt Template.

   *Note that you can reference the dataset columns as variables in the prompt template using `{{`.*

3. When you run the experiment, Athina will run the prompt template and generate a new dataset with the results for each model.

   *Athina will create or overwrite a column called `response` in each dataset.*

### Compare Responses

Athina will also open all these datasets in the "Datasets" tab, so you can [compare them side-by-side](/datasets/compare-datasets).

<Tip>
  You can turn the diff view on or off by clicking the "View Options" button on
  the top-right.

### Run Evaluations

Now if you run evaluations, they will be run on all rows of all the datasets at once.

Once the evaluations are complete, you can scroll to the right, and you will see the evaluation metrics for each eval and each dataset.
