New benchmark tests LLMs for quantum code version compatibility

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new benchmark, quantum-api-drift, has been developed to evaluate how well large language models can generate quantum code that is compatible with specific software development kit (SDK) versions. The benchmark was tested using Qiskit across versions v0.43, v1.3, and v2.0, with 17 models evaluated on 50 tasks. Claude Opus 4.7 performed best on v0.43 and v2.0, while Grok 4.20 excelled on v1.3. The study found that while documentation-guided repair can help, API drift remains a significant challenge in LLM-generated quantum code. AI

IMPACT Highlights the need for LLMs to maintain version fidelity in code generation, impacting future development tools.

    Benchmarking API Drift in LLM-Generated Quantum Code Across Successive SDK Versions

    arXiv:2607.04072v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models can generate plausible quantum code, but it is unclear whether they can reliably target the specific software development kit (SDK) version requested by the user. We study this problem as API drift and introd…
