HumanEval D
AI benchmark · Coding
What is HumanEval?
HumanEval measures the functional correctness of model-generated Python code by running completions against unit tests and reporting pass@k.
Coding mostly
“This program exists to run untrusted model-generated code.”

Lineage
Benchmarks this one is built on and built from: versions, subsets, extensions and the indexes that combine them.
Derived benchmarks
EvalPlus extension
“EvalPlus measures the functional correctness of LLM-generated code using test-augmented benchmarks HumanEval+ and MBPP+, ranked by pass@1.”
HumanEval+ extension
HumanEval-Mul extension
MultiPL-E extension
“MultiPL-E measures multi-language code generation by translating HumanEval and MBPP unit-test-driven benchmarks into 18 additional programming languages.”
Tier D
Long tail: little or no usage data yet.
How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.
- no usage data
- in curated RL directories (1 pt)
On X · mixed, moderate buzz, from 12 posts about HumanEval in the last month
Still routinely cited in model releases and quantization tests, but increasingly viewed as saturated and contamination-prone, with people preferring private or harder evals.
How we got to tier D
- Adoption: no usage data. Tier D.
- On X: mixed, moderate buzz. “Still routinely cited in model releases and quantization tests, but increasingly viewed as saturated and contamination-prone, with people preferring private or harder evals.” No move.
- In curated RL directories: 1 point, a floor of none.
- Confirmed: a line from its own site or paper places it.
A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.
