How can you reproduce these numbers?#
Follow the source column above and our open dataset at /data.
| Model | SWE-bench Verified (Est.) | HumanEval (Est.) | Local Task Success (Meas.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qwen2.5-Coder 32B | 45.2% | 94.5% | 38.0% |
The table above highlights a significant divergence. Laboratory metrics like HumanEval measure isolated function generation, where the model operates in a vacuum with precise inputs and expected outputs. Real-world task success, measured by our internal Hax team on actual codebases, reflects the complexity of context windows, file dependencies, and ambiguous requirements. While the model achieves an estimated 94.5% pass rate on HumanEval, its measured success rate on multi-file editing tasks drops to approximately 38%. This gap exists because local execution involves hardware constraints and integration friction.
Why does the score drop?#
The drop in performance is not a failure of the model's logic but a result of environmental complexity. In a lab setting, the model receives a clean prompt and a single test case. In a local development environment, the model must navigate multiple files, resolve imports, and adhere to existing coding standards. Furthermore, running a 32-billion parameter model locally requires significant computational resources. Quantization methods, such as GGUF Q4_K_M, reduce memory usage but introduce slight accuracy losses. These factors contribute to the difference between the estimated benchmark scores and the measured task completion rates.
How to set up locally?#
To achieve the best results, use a framework like Ollama or LM Studio. Load the Qwen2.5-Coder 32B GGUF file. Ensure your system has at least 24GB of RAM for quantized models. Adjust the context window to 8K or 16K tokens to balance memory usage and comprehension. For code generation, prioritize temperature settings between 0.1 and 0.3 to reduce randomness and increase precision. The model performs best when given explicit instructions and full file contents rather than vague requests.
Note: Performance varies by hardware. The estimated scores are based on public benchmarks and may differ in your specific environment. Always verify code output before integration.
