More Than a Score: Probing the Impact of Prompt Specificity on LLM Code Generation

Yangtian Zi, Harshitha Menon, Arjun Guha

State-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve high pass@1 on general benchmarks like HumanEval but underperform on specialized suites such as ParEval. Is this due to LLMs m…
