BigCode introduces BigCodeBench, a comprehensive benchmark to evaluate large language models on real-world programming tasks, addressing limitations of existing benchmarks like HumanEval. The benchmark includes diverse tasks mimicking real-world scenarios with detailed validation, divided into code completion and instruction-tuned components. The Government Accountability Office reports on the rapid growth and potential impacts of generative AI technologies, outlining key differences and commercial applications, aiming to assess societal and environmental effects in future reports. Businesses are urged to understand and leverage AI technologies like generative AI and large language models to stay competitive, as lack of comprehension may lead to missed opportunities and misaligned investments, emphasizing the importance of grasping these technologies' fundamentals. Leveraging low-code/no-code solutions and generative AI can empower organizations to streamline data pipelines, automate tasks, and democratize data access, fostering agility and decision-making processes.
