We have an internal eval that measures performance on tasks for a handful of embedded systems repos for our mmWave radios (mostly Rust, some C for microcontroller stuff). Qwen3.6-27B scores only 4% lower for pass@1, n=250 compared to Opus-4.8.
For the labeled dataset, the average PR size they're being measured against is around 1.5k SLOC.
This is very much "real-world usage" for us. The sort of change sets that come in daily/weekly and are solving non-trivial issues in the respective codebases.
As is usually the case, the most broad claims from both the labs and from the consequent pushback are talking past each other.
4% is within the margin of error anyways for pass@1, so I think pass@k > 1 is gonna be the better indicator of any movement (still need to calibrate the optimal k to re-test). 10 seems too tolerant even though that tends to be the next tranche I reach for.
Right I take your point, but that's not the comparison in this case though. These are paired results on the same 250 tasks, so whether a 4 point gap is meaningful depends on the task-level deltas, not just plugging p=0.04 into the binomial SE.
How much does it score though? 0% would be 4% less if Opus was at 4%. Unless you mean relative fraction not percentage points - but people usually mean percentage points in such situations.
