## 🌸 About

### BigCodeBench

BigCodeBench is an **_easy-to-use_** benchmark for solving **_practical_** and **_challenging_** tasks via code. It aims to evaluate the true programming capabilities of large language models (LLMs) in a more realistic setting. The benchmark is designed for HumanEval-like function-level code generation tasks, but with much more complex instructions and diverse function calls.

There are two splits in BigCodeBench:
- `Complete`: Thes split is designed for code completion based on the comprehensive docstrings.
- `Instruct`: The split works for the instruction-tuned and chat models only, where the models are asked to generate a code snippet based on the natural language instructions. The instructions only contain necessary information, and require more complex reasoning.

### Why BigCodeBench?

BigCodeBench focuses on task automation via code generation with *diverse function calls* and *complex instructions*, with:

* ✨ **Precise evaluation & ranking**: See [our leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigcode/bigcodebench-leaderboard) for latest LLM rankings before & after rigorous evaluation.
* ✨ **Pre-generated samples**: BigCodeBench accelerates code intelligence research by open-sourcing [LLM-generated samples](#-LLM-generated-code) for various models -- no need to re-run the expensive benchmarks!

## 🔥 Quick Start

To get started, please first set up the environment:

```bash
# By default, you will use the remote evaluation API to execute the output samples.
pip install bigcodebench --upgrade

# You are suggested to use `flash-attn` for generating code samples.
pip install packaging ninja
pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation
# Note: if you have installation problem, consider using pre-built
# wheels from https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention/releases
```

<details><summary>⏬ Install nightly version <i>:: click to expand ::</i></summary>
<div>

```bash
# Install to use bigcodebench.generate
pip install "git+https://github.com/bigcode-project/bigcodebench.git" --upgrade
```

## 🚀 Remote Evaluation

We use the greedy decoding as an example to show how to evaluate the generated code samples via remote API.
> [!Warning]
>
> To ease the generation, we use batch inference by default. However, the batch inference results could vary from *batch sizes to batch sizes* and *versions to versions*, at least for the vLLM backend. If you want to get more deterministic results for greedy decoding, please set `--bs` to `1`. 

> [!Note]
>
> `gradio` backend on `BigCodeBench-Full` typically takes 6-7 minutes, and on `BigCodeBench-Hard` typically takes 4-5 minutes.
> `e2b` backend with default machine on `BigCodeBench-Full` typically takes 25-30 minutes, and on `BigCodeBench-Hard` typically takes 15-20 minutes.

```bash
bigcodebench.evaluate \
  --model meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
  --execution [e2b|gradio|local] \
  --split [complete|instruct] \
  --subset [full|hard] \
  --backend [vllm|openai|anthropic|google|mistral|hf|hf-inference]
```

- All the resulted files will be stored in a folder named `bcb_results`.
- The generated code samples will be stored in a file named `[model_name]--bigcodebench-[instruct|complete]--[backend]-[temp]-[n_samples]-sanitized_calibrated.jsonl`.
- The evaluation results will be stored in a file named `[model_name]--bigcodebench-[instruct|complete]--[backend]-[temp]-[n_samples]-sanitized_calibrated_eval_results.json`.
- The pass@k results will be stored in a file named `[model_name]--bigcodebench-[instruct|complete]--[backend]-[temp]-[n_samples]-sanitized_calibrated_pass_at_k.json`.

> [!Note]
>
> The `gradio` backend is hosted on the [Hugging Face space](https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigcode/bigcodebench-evaluator) by default.
> The default space can be sometimes slow, so we recommend you to use the `gradio` backend with a cloned [bigcodebench-evaluator](https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigcode/bigcodebench-evaluator) endpoint for faster evaluation.
> Otherwise, you can also use the `e2b` sandbox for evaluation, which is also pretty slow on the default machine.

> [!Note]
>
> BigCodeBench uses different prompts for base and chat models.
> By default it is detected by `tokenizer.chat_template` when using `hf`/`vllm` as backend.
> For other backends, only chat mode is allowed.
>
> Therefore, if your base models come with a `tokenizer.chat_template`,
> please add `--direct_completion` to avoid being evaluated
> in a chat mode.

## 💻 LLM-generated Code

We share pre-generated code samples from LLMs we have [evaluated](https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigcode/bigcodebench-leaderboard) on the full set:
*  See the attachment of our [v0.2.4](https://github.com/bigcode-project/bigcodebench/releases/tag/v0.2.4). We include `sanitized_samples_calibrated.zip` for your convenience.

## 🧑 Advanced Usage

Please refer to the [ADVANCED USAGE](https://github.com/bigcode-project/bigcodebench/blob/main/ADVANCED_USAGE.md) for more details.

## 📰 Result Submission

Please email both the generated code samples and the execution results to [terry.zhuo@monash.edu](mailto:terry.zhuo@monash.edu) if you would like to contribute your model to the leaderboard. Note that the file names should be in the format of `[model_name]--[revision]--[bigcodebench|bigcodebench-hard]-[instruct|complete]--[backend]-[temp]-[n_samples]-sanitized_calibrated.jsonl` and `[model_name]--[revision]--[bigcodebench|bigcodebench-hard]-[instruct|complete]--[backend]-[temp]-[n_samples]-sanitized_calibrated_eval_results.json`. You can [file an issue](https://github.com/bigcode-project/bigcodebench/issues/new/choose) to remind us if we do not respond to your email within 3 days.
