HAI-Eval: Benchmarking Human-AI Synergy in Collaborative Coding

ai-technology · 2026-05-18

A new benchmark called HAI-Eval measures the synergy of human-AI partnerships in collaborative coding. Developed by researchers, it addresses the gap left by traditional human tests and LLM benchmarks, which focus on well-defined algorithmic problems. HAI-Eval uses 45 'Collaboration-Necessary' problem templates that are intractable for standalone LLMs or unaided humans but solvable through effective collaboration. The benchmark provides a standardized IDE for human participants to dynamically create tasks, aiming to capture the shift where success depends on human reasoning and AI efficiency.
