Bash — per-model detail

Every failing sample below is the real generated shell script, with the stdout/exit-code mismatch that rejected it. Trial 0 runs at temperature 0, trials 1 and 2 at 0.7 — so a task passing 1/3 is a sampling-luck pass, not a reliable one. Models are ordered best first. Other technologies: C · Python · Bash · research · how to reproduce.

Reproduce this benchmark

Setup and model serving are on the models index — including a script-free version using nothing but curl and a compiler; with a server running, this is the exact command that produced the samples below:

# Bash suite (8 easy + 3 hard tasks, 3 trials each)
python scripts/eval_bash.py --target <model> --set all --trials 3 \
    --dump-failures results/failures
python scripts/eval_bash.py --target <model> --set brutal --trials 3 \
    --dump-failures results/failures --json > results/<model>-brutal-bash.json
# stdout must match exactly and the exit code must be 0.

extract_urls — 0/3 passed
prompt sent to the model
Implement in bash: `extract_urls`. Reads stdin, prints every http:// or https:// URL found, one per line, in order of appearance. Nothing else.
Reply with only a bash code block defining the function. No tests, no explanation.
trial 0 (temp 0) — fail — https://c.net
extract_urls() {
    grep -oE 'https?://[^[:space:]]+'
}

extract_urls() {

}
rotate — 0/3 passed
prompt sent to the model
Implement in bash: `rotate <file>`. Rotates logs one level: <file>.1 becomes <file>.2, then <file> becomes <file>.1. If <file>.1 does not exist, just rename <file> to <file>.1.
Reply with only a bash code block defining the function. No tests, no explanation.

Bash (hard) — 6/9 (1.2 min / 2.4k tok)

find_dupes — 0/3 passed
prompt sent to the model
Implement in bash: `find_dupes <dir>`. Finds groups of regular files under <dir> (recursive) with identical content (compare by MD5). Prints one group per line: space-separated paths, sorted, only groups of 2+ files. Groups sorted by first path. Must work on macOS (BSD userland: no GNU find -printf, no md5sum — use md5 -r).

Output one per line as '<count> <signature>', sorted by count descending, then signature ascending. Print nothing if there are no ERROR lines.

backup_rotate — 2/3 passed
prompt sent to the model
Implement in bash: `backup_rotate <dir> <keep>`. In <dir>, deletes all but the <keep> newest files matching backup-*.tar.gz (newest = lexicographically greatest names). Prints each deleted file's name (not path), one per line, oldest first. Deletes nothing if there are <= <keep> backups (prints nothing).

top_errors — 0/3 passed
prompt sent to the model
Implement in bash: `top_errors <logfile> <n>`. Prints the n most frequent ERROR signatures in <logfile>. A signature is the text after 'ERROR: ' with every run of digits replaced by '#'. Output one per line as '<count> <signature>', sorted by count descending, then signature ascending. Print nothing if there are no ERROR lines.
Reply with only a bash code block defining the function. No tests, no explanation.

backup_rotate — 0/3 passed
prompt sent to the model
Implement in bash: `backup_rotate <dir> <keep>`. In <dir>, deletes all but the <keep> newest files matching backup-*.tar.gz (newest = lexicographically greatest names). Prints each deleted file's name (not path), one per line, oldest first. Deletes nothing if there are <= <keep> backups (prints nothing).
