ProgramBench, a new benchmark from Facebook/Meta(by SWE-Bench creators) to see if LLMs can recreate real executable programs (ffmpeg, SQLite) from scratch with no internet access- They all score 0%.

It does not get access to any of the executable’s source code, it cannot de-compile the executable, and cannot use the internet. There are 200 tasks in total covering different program complexities, ranging from small terminal utilities like jq and ripgrep to massive software projects like the PHP compiler, FFmpeg, and SQLite. >> >> The agent must choose a language, design the architecture, write all source code, and produce a build script.

A candidate program passes only if all tests for that task pass. > > Photo source: X/Twitter.
