Contribution grade

Code-generation language models · Human-designed AI research method or resource

Reference score48,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Evaluated GPT-family models fine-tuned on code and introduced HumanEval, a benchmark of Python programming problems tested for functional correctness.

Scientific scope

Evaluated GPT-family models fine-tuned on code and introduced HumanEval, a benchmark of Python programming problems tested for functional correctness. Scope limitation: Codex and HumanEval form one paper-level package. Benchmark pass rates do not show reliable software engineering across real repositories.

Evidence

The retained primary-source abstract, bibliographic record and stated review scope support this provisional assessment. No independent experimental replication by WRS is claimed. Codex and HumanEval form one paper-level package. Benchmark pass rates do not show reliable software engineering across real repositories.
