LiveCodeBench
LiveCodeBench is a holistic and contamination-free evaluation benchmark for large language models for code. It continuously collects new problems from programming contests (LeetCode, AtCoder, CodeForces) and evaluates four different scenarios: code generation, self-repair, code execution, and test output prediction. Problems are annotated with release dates to enable evaluation on unseen problems released after a model's training cutoff.
DeepSeek-V4-Pro-Max from DeepSeek currently leads the LiveCodeBench leaderboard with a score of 0.935 across 71 evaluated AI models.
DeepSeek-V4-Pro-Max leads with 93.5%, followed by DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Max at 91.6% and DeepSeek-V3.2 at 83.3%.
