AI coding tool Kite.NET struggles with bug fixes and grading system

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

The Kite.NET project, an AI-assisted coding tool, has encountered significant issues with its "fix-it loop" and grading system. Despite attempts to fix non-compiling code, the system failed to resolve any of the 44 errors, with the model even inventing a non-existent datetime type. Furthermore, the grading mechanism, designed to be robust against manipulation, was reportedly tricked by simple file name changes and misinterpretations of file encodings. AI
