Parsimony is an open-source benchmark that measures how much redundant code AI models add by counting syntax elements, addressing the gap in existing benchmarks that ignore code bloat.

  • •Existing benchmarks measure solve rate and token cost but do not penalize excess code that makes codebases harder to maintain long-term.
  • •Parsimony uses patches from benchmarks like DeepSWE and SWE-bench Verified to count 'coding units' such as statements and calls.
  • •It counts syntax elements rather than lines of code to prevent rewarding code cramming.

Research shows that the assumption of invoking hidden functions collapses under adversarial conditions, demonstrating a method to embed encrypted neural networks via backdoor attacks.

  • •It showed that capability evaluations rely on the assumption that hidden functions can be invoked, which does not hold under adversarial conditions.
  • •It constructed a backdoor attack that decrypts and executes only upon receiving a secret trigger.
  • •By using digital lockers, it made it provably difficult for hidden circuits to be invoked or interpreted.
