Claude 3.7 Sonnet scored 60.4% on the aider polyglot leaderboard [0], WITHOUT USING THINKING.

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.

> 225 coding exercises from Exercism

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?

I like to make up my own tests, that way you know it is actually thinking.

Tests that require thinking about the physical world are the most revealing.

My new favourite is:

You have 2 minutes to cool down a cup of coffee to the lowest temp you can.

You have two options: 1. Add cold milk immediately, then let it sit for 2 mins.

2. Let it sit for 2 mins, then add cold milk.

Which one cools the coffee to the lowest temperature and why?

Phrased this way without any help, all but the thinking models get it wrong

Yes absolutely this! We're working on these problems at FlyShirley for our pilot training tool. My go-to is: I'm facing 160 degrees and want to face north. What's the quickest way to turn and by how much?

For small models and when attention is "taken up", these sorts of questions really send a model for a loop. Agreed - especially noticeable with small reasoning models.

I just tried this with a smaller "thinking" model (deepseek distill, running locally) and boy are you right. It keeps flipping between which direction it should turn, second guessing its thought process and then getting sidetracked with a different approach.
