Not independently scored by Artificial Analysis

The 32B of the same family (MIT, Jan 2025), the one that was state of the art for local reasoning a year and a half ago.

First-party test · not the AA coding index

BigCodeBench-Hard pass@1 21% (32/148), via official protocol · llama.cpp Q4_K_M · one request at a time · a shared cluster GPU · mean of 3 runs, range 0.7 pp. The brutal counterpart to HumanEval — where HumanEval saturates near the top, BCB-Hard spreads the field, so this is the number that actually separates coding ability.

What we measured

Our own runs on this model. Each number carries how many problems it is over and how many times we ran it — these are not comparable with each other, and none of them is on the same scale as the third-party indices on the leaderboard.

Config tips

21.6% over three runs (21.6 / 21.6 / 20.9). Read it next to the 14B of the same family: four more points for more than twice the file.
