The problems are not important, but they illustrate failures that are. For example: - The paper has an example where the model reasons "I'm frustrated" and then produces an answer that it "knows is wrong". You would

Heuristic search, not exhaustive search, is an essential ingredient of reasoning. Has been true since chess. Remains true with MCTS, LLMs, etc.

The nature of the problems makes it relatively easy to follow along with the models' reasoning and reasoning errors. For example, on this problem (answer "New England"): > Think of a place in America. Two words, 10 letters

Some still exist, but this is less and less true over time. Even when a requirement is called an "exam", it isn't what a high-schooler would recognize as one. Many of the exams described on this page are personalized and only

There is a trend of building hard benchmarks for LLMs, such as GPQA or Humanity's Last Exam, with questions crafted by PhDs. Ergo, most people cannot understand what these benchmarks are testing. If you're an expert in something,

I think what you mean is that once you've managed to recall, checking constraints is easy. Remarkably, a few people are much better at this than others. They are able to think fast and execute an explicit mental search over a very smal

It's definitely U.S. centric. But, I do think this is reasoning. It requires recall, but anything other than pure logic puzzles do. For example, on a competition math problem or a programming problem, No person or LLM is inventing well

Definitely a lot of letter counting. It's not not a factor. I think the real problem is that the search space for each problem is enormous. When it gets stuck, it just gets stuck enumerating candidates that meet some but not all of th

There is likely a little bit of that, but I don't think that's the primary factor that makes these hard. If you look at the reasoning performed by R1 ("Show Thoughts" checkbox), it has no problem splitting and joining ca

Thanks, fixed. (Spaces rebuilding.) We have manually combed labelled-wrong answers and tweaked the predicates that check correctness. Sorry we missed this one.

They are scraped from the web, and discussed on Reddit. So, they are definitely in the training data. Despite that, the non-reasoning LLMs struggle to solve them. There are however new problems each week, and released every week. So, we can

You'll do great. This will eventually turn into new discoveries if you keep at it.

Any evidence that this approach works? Are people who do this able to move from the PhD to a solid position afterward that they could not have had without the PhD?

Absolutely. Demonstrating how to Google (and now, how to ChatGPT) is important. The pervasiveness of Java makes it relatively easy to do.

There is a lot of subtlety here. The model is trained on 80+ languages, but the volume and quality of data varies significantly. We have results showing benchmark performance on 19 languages, which is a broader evaluation than most Code LLM

You can just about load it on a 32GB GPU in 16bit mode. Quantized versions here: https://huggingface.co/mayank31398/starcoder-GPTQ they will be benchmarked on humaneval and released soon—maybe tomorrow?

Keep in mind that StarCoder(Base) is just a pretrained LM. The extra stuff that makes 3.5/4 like RLHF gets built on this.

You may (but do not have to) use <reponame>, <filename>, etc. as special tokens to prompt the model with extra metadata. These help you use the model go beyond just code completion. Page 30 of the TR has a few examples: https:

This was used for PII detection and will be public soon. It could have other uses, but its not what you want code generation. For code generation, use StarCoder or StarCoderBase.
