See the comparison table for live GitHub stats and shared categories. ### When should I choose code-eval over cceval? Choose code-eval over cceval when License: code-eval is MIT, cceval is Apache-2.0; Tags unique to code-eval: humaneval, wizardcoder; When you need clear comparisons of pass rates for different LLMs using standardized tests. ### When should I choose cceval over code-eval? Choose cceval over code-eval when License: cceval is Apache-2.0, code-eval is MIT; Tags unique to cceval: benchmark, code-completion, cross-file, evaluation-tool; You need to evaluate the performance of cross-file code completion systems that can handle multiple programming languages simultaneously. ### When should I avoid code-eval? If the tool's results do not correlate well with the official published benchmarks due to unknown prompt differences For real-time or dynamic evaluations as this repo offers pre-computed static results only ### When should I avoid cceval? Your evaluation needs are focused solely on single-file or intralingual code completion benchmarks You require real-time data access or live updates; cceval provides pre-packaged datasets that need to be manually obtained and uncompressed ### Is code-eval or cceval more popular on GitHub? code-eval has more GitHub stars (432 vs 184). Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints. ### Are code-eval and cceval open source? Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (code-eval: MIT, cceval: Apache-2.0). ### Where can I find alternatives to code-eval or cceval? GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [code-eval alternatives](/tools/abacaj-code-eval/alternatives) and [cceval alternatives](/tools/amazon-science-cceval/alternatives) ([code-eval markdown twin](/tools/abacaj-code-eval/alternatives.md), [cceval markdown twin](/tools/amazon-science-cceval/alternatives.md)), ranked by typed relationship edges rather than popularity votes. ### Is there a machine-readable version of this comparison? Yes. The markdown twin at [this comparison](/compare/abacaj-code-eval-vs-amazon-science-cceval.md) mirrors this page for agents and LLM crawlers, with the same stats table and FAQ answers. ### Which is better maintained, code-eval or cceval? code-eval: Dormant. cceval: Dormant. Compare maintenance labels, days since push, and release cadence in the trust section below - stars alone do not measure maintenance. ### Where are the full trust reports for code-eval and cceval? GraphCanon publishes per-repo trust reports with dated maintenance, provenance, and scan summaries: [code-eval trust report](/tools/abacaj-code-eval/trust); [cceval trust report](/tools/amazon-science-cceval/trust). --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=abacaj-code-eval`](/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=abacaj-code-eval) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
