Tied for 3rd place with o3-mini-high. Sonnet 3.7 has the highest non-thinking score, taking that title from Sonnet 3.5.
Aider 0.75.0 is out with support for 3.7 Sonnet [1].
Thinking support and thinking benchmark results coming soon.
Has there been any effort taken to reduce data leakage of this test set? Sounds like these exercises were available on the internet pre-2023, so they'll probably be included in the training data for any modern model, no?
The Exercism problems have proven to be very effective at measuring an LLM's ability to modify existing code. I receive a lot of feedback that the aider benchmarks correlate strongly with people's "vibes" on model coding skill. I agree. The scores have felt quite aligned with my hands-on experience coding with most of the top models over the last 18+ months.
To be clear, the purpose of the benchmark is to help me quantitatively assess and improve aider and make it more effective. But it's also turned out to be a great way to measure the coding skill of LLMs.
If the resulting code is not trying to be excessively clever or creative this is actually a good thing in my book.
The novelty and creativity should come from the product itself, especially from the users/customers perspective. Some people are too attached to LLM leaderboards being about novelty. I want reliable results whenever I give the instructions, either be the code, or the specs built into a spec file after throwing some ideas into prompts.
