    SWE-bench: Can Language Models Resolve Real-World GitHub Issues?

    A benchmark built from real issue reports and pull requests across popular Python repositories. A model is handed a codebase and a GitHub issue and has to produce a patch that makes the repository test suite pass, which is a far harder target than generating plausible-looking code.

    Lost in the Middle: How Language Models Use Long Contexts

    Language models attend strongly to the beginning and end of a long context and weakly to the middle. The authors show accuracy degrading in a characteristic U-shape as the position of the relevant passage moves through the input, even in models explicitly built for long contexts.

    Judging LLM-as-a-Judge with MT-Bench and Chatbot Arena

    An examination of whether a strong language model can stand in for a human rater on open-ended questions. The paper introduces MT-Bench and Chatbot Arena, then measures how often model judgements agree with human preference and where they systematically go wrong.
