Benchmark profile

Evaluating Large Language Models Trained on Code (HumanEval)

A set of 164 handwritten Python function-generation problems. HumanEval is useful as a historical floor check, but BenchLM's current exact-source table is too small to support a broad frontier-coding verdict.

Data verified

How to read this leaderboard

Read this page as a source-coverage receipt for the exact rows BenchLM can currently display, not as a ranking of the best coding models. Use the calibrated coding leaderboard and repository benchmarks for a broader decision.

Operator receipt: 3 sourced rows are currently displayable on this page; the leading published row is DeepSeek V4 Pro Base at 76.8%.

Honest limit: Only exact, displayable rows appear. Missing frontier rows are missing evidence, not zero scores, and the two visible DeepSeek base-model rows do not establish an overall coding winner.

Benchmark score on HumanEval — July 20, 2026

BenchLM mirrors the published score view for HumanEval. DeepSeek V4 Pro Base leads the public snapshot at 76.8% , followed by Soofi S 30B-A3B (73.8%) and DeepSeek V4 Flash Base (69.5%). BenchLM does not use these results to rank models overall.
