Can #LLMs replace developers? Introducing RepoCod-Lite 🐟 for faster evaluation to answer this: 200 of the toughest #RepoCod #code-generation tasks: - GPT-4o and other LLMs have < 10% accuracy/pass@1 on RepoCod-Lite tasks - Leaderboard https://t.co/DRPs3attHb - 67
Can language models replace developers? RepoCod says “Not Yet”, because GPT-4o and other LLMs have <30% accuracy/pass@1 on real-world method-level code generation tasks. Leaderboard https://t.co/DRPs3attHb
