## Code Generation Testing
|
|
|
|
### Test Framework
|
|
- **Total Prompts**: 40 (10 per language)
|
|
- **Languages Tested**: Python, Swift, JavaScript, Rust
|
|
- **Generation Strategy**: Top-k sampling (k=50, temperature=0.8)
|
|
- **Max Tokens**: 100 per generation
|
|
|
|
### Results Summary
|
|
|
|
All models showed poor code generation capability:
|
|
- Generated invalid or garbled output
|
|
- Mixed multiple languages in single response
|
|
- Not specialized for programming tasks
|
|
|
|
**Recommendation**: For production code generation, consider specialized models:
|
|
- CodeLlama
|
|
- StarCoder
|
|
- DeepSeek-Coder

## Recommendations
|
|
|
|
### Production Use
|
|
1. **Multimodal Applications**: Use **E4B-MarkBase** (fast, stable, audio+vision)
|
|
2. **Text Generation**: Use **12B** (efficient, sliding window)
|
|
3. **Large-scale Applications**: Use **31B** (most capable)
|
|
4. **Efficient MoE**: Use **26B-Standard** (stable MoE architecture)
|
|
|
|
### Avoid
|
|
- **26B-A4B**: Known weight file corruption, use 26B-Standard instead
|
|
|
|
### Code Generation
|
|
- None of the tested models are suitable
|
|
- Consider specialized code models (CodeLlama, StarCoder, DeepSeek-Coder)
|
|
