CodeContests
DeepMind's competitive-programming corpus with temporally split problems, human submissions, and generated correctness tests.
The repository was archived on 2024-12-06, the temporal holdout has been public since 2022, and later AlphaCode systems used updated non-public data; it no longer provides a clean maintained frontier comparison.
Performance Timeline
Longitudinal progression of model scores against human baselines.Performance & Historical Trajectory
Empirical score progression across model release dates and evaluation rounds.
Human Baseline & Difficulty Horizon
Calibrated human reference points, specialist benchmarks, and ceiling thresholds.Average solve rate among rated Codeforces and CodeChef human competitive programmers.
Metric & Scoring Methodology
Verification protocols, aggregation formulas, and specialized metric variants.10@100k solve rate on the 165-problem test split (%)Dataset & Compute Cost
Evaluation volume, public availability, API pricing, and local hardware requirements.$5 – $20 USD for full benchmark evaluation run on frontier APIs.
1x NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24GB) or A100 (40GB/80GB) via vLLM / SGLang
How to Run & Reproduce
Standardized evaluation protocols, CLI commands, and reproducible runner templates.lm_eval --model hf --model_args pretrained=<model_path> --tasks codecontests --batch_size autoopencompass --datasets codecontests --models <model_config># Standard API Evaluation Loop
