HumanEval-COBOL (Cohere)

Only in system cards

Models write COBOL versions of HumanEval problems, or translate COBOL solutions to Python. Unit tests score pass@1.

Cohere built it for the Command A report. The report does not say whether it is released.

Cohere Command A leads with 25.3%

Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.

Scores over time

All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.

Labs report it only in system cards

We read the headline results of 522 launch posts from 52 labs, and none of them list this benchmark. Some system cards do, below.

One system card reports it

Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
