MBPP: Mostly Basic Programming Problems

Metric: Pass@k (higher is better)Introduced: 2021

974 Python programming problems for evaluating code generation, ranging from beginner to intermediate difficulty. High benchmark score alone doesn't make a model the right pick — weigh it against pricing, API availability, and release date.

How to read this benchmark

This benchmark scores models where higher is better. Scores are useful for directional filtering and shortlisting — not for universal quality ranking. Prefer benchmarks closest to your workload, then validate the linked model pages for pricing, context window, and provider availability.

Trust this score when

  • There is a fresh timestamped snapshot (or multiple snapshots) for this benchmark.
  • The model list covers the same version family you can actually deploy today.
  • Top candidates overlap with your required routing and feature requirements.

Be cautious when

  • There is only one benchmark snapshot or the dataset appears stale.
  • The benchmark metric direction is opposite of your decision objective.
  • The score difference between options is narrow and likely within implementation variance.
