LLMs for code should do much better if they can iterate on tests -- but they don't. Our new work (RLEF) addresses this with execution feedback at RL *training time* to use execution feedback at *inference time*. arxiv.org/abs/2410.02089 is just out! 1/6

Code World Model: producing code by imagining the effect of executing instructions and planning instructions that produce the desired effect.

We’re excited to share our preparedness report on Code World Model (CWM), FAIR’s latest open-weight model for code generation and reasoning. This report was developed by the SEAL team and the AI Security team, marking our first external publication since part of SEAL joined Meta

new research from Meta FAIR: Code World Model (CWM), a 32B research model we encourage the research community to research this open-weight model! pass@1 evals, for the curious: 65.8 % on SWE-bench Verified 68.6 % on LiveCodeBench 96.6 % on Math-500 76.0 % on AIME 2024 🧵

check out cwm!! open weights and inference code, many fun details to ponder from the report, and most importantly a lot of new research directions opened :)

So excited we finally get to share 🚀🔥Meta Code World Model! 🔥🚀 ✅ 32B dense open-weights LLM 💪 Strong coding skills 🧪 CWM enables a TON of cool research on world models for code generation! We would really like you to check it out, have some fun, and get inspired! 😊
