Researchers have developed AlgoBench, a new framework designed to evaluate the algorithmic reasoning capabilities of code generation models. Unlike traditional benchmarks that can be compromised by training data exposure, AlgoBench automatically creates novel algorithmic problems by transforming existing competitive programming problems. This approach ensures that reference algorithms fail on the new variants, forcing models to demonstrate true adaptation rather than memorization. The framework also introduces complexity-aware metrics to assess not only functional correctness but also asymptotic efficiency, revealing that many models struggle with algorithmic adaptation and efficient solutions.
