LiveCodeBench: Holistic and Contamination Free Evaluation of Large Language Models for Code
arXiv
A benchmark for code LLMs that keeps collecting fresh contest problems from LeetCode, AtCoder and CodeForces, so that scores reflect ability rather than memorised test data, and that also tests code repair and execution reasoning.

Gemini 1.5: Unlocking multimodal understanding across millions of tokens of context
arXiv
A report from Google's Gemini Team introducing the Gemini 1.5 family, multimodal models built around very long context, with Gemini 1.5 Pro recalling information across up to 10 million tokens.[^1]

SWE-bench: Can Language Models Resolve Real-World GitHub Issues?
arXiv
A benchmark of 2,294 real software engineering problems taken from GitHub issues and the pull requests that resolved them, in which a model must edit a codebase to fix an issue; on release the best model solved under 2% of them.
