Paper

Evaluating Large Language Models Trained on Code https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.03374

We introduce Codex, a GPT language model fine-tuned on publicly available code from GitHub, and study its Python code-writing capabilities. A distinct production version of Codex powers GitHub Copilot. On HumanEval, a new evaluation set we release to measure functional correctness for synthesizing programs from docstrings, our model solves 28.8% of the problems, while GPT-3 solves 0% and GPT-J solves 11.4%. Furthermore, we find that repeated sampling from the model is a surprisingly effective strategy for producing working solutions to difficult prompts. Using this method, we solve 70.2% of our problems with 100 samples per problem. Careful investigation of our model reveals its limitations, including difficulty with docstrings describing long chains of operations and with binding operations to variables. Finally, we discuss the potential broader impacts of deploying powerful code generation technologies, covering safety, security, and economics.

Groups and Tasks

Tasks

  • humaneval pass@1
  • humaneval_64 pass@64 variant

Checklist

For adding novel benchmarks/datasets to the library:

  • Is the task an existing benchmark in the literature?
    • Have you referenced the original paper that introduced the task?
    • If yes, does the original paper provide a reference implementation? If so, have you checked against the reference implementation and documented how to run such a test?

If other tasks on this dataset are already supported:

  • Is the "Main" variant of this task clearly denoted?
  • Have you provided a short sentence in a README on what each new variant adds / evaluates?
  • Have you noted which, if any, published evaluation setups are matched by this variant?
