# BigCode Evaluation Harness - Code Model Benchmarking

Find out how well a model really writes code

## What this does

You need to know how good a model actually is at writing code, and opinions are not enough. This runs it against established coding benchmarks and reports pass@k scores, including across multiple programming languages. Reach for it when you are choosing between models or measuring whether one improved.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Benchmark a code generation model
- Compare two models on coding ability
- Check how a model handles languages beyond one
