Aider LLM Leaderboards
Aider excels with LLMs skilled at writing and editing code,
and uses benchmarks to
evaluate an LLM's ability to follow instructions and edit code successfully without
human intervention.
Aider's polyglot benchmark tests LLMs on 225 challenging Exercism coding exercises across C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, Python, and Rust.
