AI isn’t ready to replace human coders for debugging, researchers say – Go Health Pro

Agents using debugging tools drastically outperformed those that didn’t, but their success rate still wasn’t high enough. Credit: Microsoft Research This approach is much more successful than relying on the models as they’re usually used, but when your best case is a 48.4 percent success rate, you’re not ready for primetime. The limitations are likely … Read more

Subverting LLM Coders Really interesting research: “An LLM-Assisted Easy-to-Trigger Backdoor Attack on Code Completion Models: Injecting Disguised Vulnerabilities against Strong Detection“: Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed code com-pletion tasks, providing context-based suggestions to boost developer productivity in software engineering. As users often fine-tune these models for specific applications, poisoning and backdoor attacks can … Read more
