What is HumanEval in Applied AI?
A code-generation benchmark from OpenAI consisting of 164 hand-written Python problems with unit tests. Models are graded on whether their generated code passes the tests, usually reported as pass@1 or pass@10. HumanEval is the most cited code benchmark, though newer benchmarks address its limited scope.
