SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires bigcode-evaluation-harness, transformers, accelerate, datasets, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a standardized and comprehensive framework for evaluating the performance of code generation models across a wide array of benchmarks and programming languages.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Benchmark Support: Evaluates models on industry-standard benchmarks like HumanEval, MBPP, MultiPL-E, APPS, and DS-1000.
  • Pass@k Metrics: Measures functional correctness by executing generated code against unit tests.
  • Multi-Language Evaluation: Supports evaluation across 18 programming languages via MultiPL-E.
  • Use Case: A researcher wants to compare the coding capabilities of two new LLMs. They can use this Skill to run both models against HumanEval and MBPP, generating pass@k scores to objectively determine which model performs better at code generation.

Quick Start

Use the evaluating-code-models skill to evaluate the bigcode/starcoder2-7b model on the humaneval benchmark.
