Research direction

Locate the gold/reference compile.sh scripts and inspect how the evaluation pipeline consumes repository commits and built executables. Determine whether the scripts can be released without compromising benchmark integrity; done means either providing the reference build scripts or documenting a supported way to create known-good mock submissions.

Description

question

Hi there.

Really like this benchmark. I’m building a Modal-based pipeline to evaluate ProgramBench with higher parallelism, and I’d like to validate my implementation end-to-end without running a full agent each time.

For that purpose, I’m looking for a way to mock the agent generation phase with known-good submissions. The repo part is simple as the commit hash is known. As for the compile script part, it is a little bit tricky. Would it be possible to release the compile.sh scripts used to build the gold/reference executables, or any equivalent reference build scripts?

I understand if these cannot be shared due to benchmark integrity concerns. In that case, is there a recommended way to create a small set of known-good mock submissions for validating the evaluation pipeline?
