LiveCodeBench

LiveCodeBench evaluates coding performance on recently released contest problems and several adjacent code-reasoning scenarios with time-window analysis for possible contamination.

LiveCodeBench LiveCodeBench paper v2; post-September-2023 slice

Permanent entry
Task and data
LiveCodeBench continuously collects coding-contest problems after model release dates and evaluates code generation, self-repair, code execution, and output prediction.
Primary metric
The paper uses scenario-specific pass@1. The anchors below are total code-generation pass@1 on the paper's post-September-2023 window; higher is better.
What it measures
coding performance on recently released contest problems and several adjacent code-reasoning scenarios with time-window analysis for possible contamination.
Comparison rules
Pin benchmark release, scenario, date window, difficulty aggregation, prompt, and model snapshot. The paper-v2 anchors are not current leaderboard standings.
Access and licensing
The official code is MIT-licensed, but contest problem statements originate with LeetCode, AtCoder, and Codeforces and retain platform-specific terms. No problems are reproduced here.
