Those benchmarks test whether a model can write short programs from a natural-language description, but they do not test whether it understands what a piece of code does when it runs. CRUXEval fills that gap. It has 800 short Python functions, each paired… 2. **[Meta Large Language Model Compiler: Foundation Models of Compiler Optimization](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/cummins-2024-meta-large-language-model-compiler/)** *(2024 · 16 citations)* General-purpose code LLMs see very little assembly or compiler IR during training, so they handle optimization poorly and often produce broken code. ## Co-authors here 6 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Baptiste Rozière](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/baptiste-roziere/) ×2 - [Gabriel Synnaeve](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/gabriel-synnaeve/) ×2 - [Alex Gu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/alex-gu/) - [Armando Solar-Lezama](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/armando-solar-lezama/) - [Jonas Gehring](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jonas-gehring/) - [Sida Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/sida-wang/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 129 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [46 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hugh-leather/cited-by/).
