Short programming tasks have a defined test setting

The benchmark is useful for a defined code-generation setting. It does not directly measure understanding of a large repository, maintainability, or whether a patch meets a changing product requirement.

Candidate count changes the meaning of success

An original model comparison should state how many candidates are generated and how one is selected. A many-attempt result should not be presented as the experience of a reader receiving one answer.

THE TAKEAWAY

What to remember

Add repository-specific evaluation.
