## Choose when

### Choose MultiPL-E if…

- Pricing: Free to use but requires local compute resources and potentially licensed libraries.
- Tags unique to MultiPL-E: ai benchmark, benchmarking, code generation, multilingual benchmark.
- Use MultiPL-E for evaluating large language models' performance on code generation tasks in different languages directly without needing to create new benchmarks from scratch.

### Choose LLMSurvey if…

- Pricing: Since no detailed pricing plan was specified in the repository contents, it can be inferred that access to the materials and resources of LLMSurvey might be free; however, specific details about usage.
- Tags unique to LLMSurvey: chain-of-thought, in-context-learning, instruction-tuning, large language models.
- You should use LLMSurvey if you are seeking deep insights into specific advancements such as long chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning approaches used by DeepSeek-R1 or OpenAI's o-series models.

## When NOT to use MultiPL-E

- Avoid using MultiPL-E if you need a more challenging benchmark; consider Ag-LiveCodeBench-X instead.
- Do not use MultiPL-E if your evaluation environment lacks GPU resources for completion generation or does not support Docker or Podman for execution of generated code.

## When NOT to use LLMSurvey

- You might not want to use LLMSurvey if you prefer tools that offer practical implementation details over a survey-style summary and organization of research papers.
- Consider other resources if your focus is on hands-on development rather than deep academic exploration, as LLMSurvey provides extensive academic coverage but fewer direct coding or implementation how
