Welcome to the world where artificial intelligence intersects with programming! Today, we’re diving into the exciting realm of AI coding models, exploring how these intelligent systems evaluate their own coding performance. Let’s uncover the nuts and bolts!

Key Ideas Behind AI Coding Assessment

• Interview questions created by humans, with AI as the test-taker.
• Inference scripts that cater to major API providers and CUDA-backed quantization runtimes.
• A sandbox environment (Docker-based) designed for verifying untrusted Python and NodeJS code.
• Assessment of the impact that different prompting techniques and sampling parameters have on LLM coding performance.
• Evaluation of how coding performance declines due to quantization effects.

Understanding Through Analogy

Think of AI coding models as talented students preparing for a coding competition. Just like students practice by answering questions crafted by teachers, these models take human-written tests to showcase their programming skills. To ensure fair play, they operate in a controlled environment (the sandbox), where their abilities are examined using various cues (prompt techniques) to see how well they can adapt to different coding challenges. However, just like a student’s performance can decrease due to stress (quantization), AI models too face challenges that can degrade their outputs.

Recent Updates in AI Coding Models

Stay informed about the latest progress:

• **912** Fixed a serialization bug that negatively impacted four results, including deepseek-ai and ibm-granite.
• **911** Completed evaluations on Yi-Coder-1.5B-Chat and the particularly impressive Yi-Coder-9B-Chat (FP16).
• **904** Evaluating Command-R and Command-R Plus (API) models.
• **825** Conducted evaluations on multiple models including NTQAINxcode-CQ-7B-orpo and PHI 3.5 Mini
• **811** Evaluated Llama-3.1-Instruct 8B HQQ.

Exam Suites for AI Coding Models

This AI coding evaluation project includes two major testing suites:

• junior-v2: A multi-language suite encompassing Python and JavaScript designed to evaluate small LLM coding performances.
• humaneval: A Python-exclusive testing suite created by OpenAI. You can learn more about the humaneval tests here.

How to Run These Models

If you are excited to see these AI models in action, follow these simple steps:

1. Make sure you have PostgreSQL and Docker installed on your machine.
2. To install Streamlit, open your terminal and execute:

pip install streamlit==1.23

3. Run the desired web application by typing:

streamlit run app.py

Troubleshooting & Resources

While navigating through AI coding assessments, you might encounter some bumps along the road. Here are a few troubleshooting tips:

• If your script fails to run, check if you have the required dependencies installed.
• Ensure that your Docker environment is properly configured and running.
• If performance seems off, experiment with different sampling parameters in the params folder.
