KernelBench Hard

KernelBench Hard is a benchmark for how well a model works as an autonomous coding agent. It was built to compare language models on a clearly defined set of tasks under the same grading rules, so scores are directly comparable between models.

KernelBench Hard measures how well a model works as an autonomous coding agent. In detail, it checks:

• fixing real, open bugs from real software repositories
• planning multi-step changes, running commands and editing files by itself
• passing the project's test suite after its changes
• handling whole repositories, not just small isolated code snippets

The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better.

What is the KernelBench Hard benchmark?

KernelBench Hard is a benchmark for how well a model works as an autonomous coding agent. It was built to compare language models on a clearly defined set of tasks under the same grading rules, so scores are directly comparable between models.

What does KernelBench Hard test?

KernelBench Hard mainly measures how well a model works as an autonomous coding agent. Concretely, it checks: fixing real, open bugs from real software repositories; planning multi-step changes, running commands and editing files by itself; passing the project's test suite after its changes.

How is the KernelBench Hard score calculated?

The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better. The declared maximum score of this benchmark is 100.0.
