Core Viewpoint - The article presents the idea that AI-generated code can be considered "legacy code" from the moment it is created due to its lack of contextual memory and maintenance continuity [1]. Group 1: Characteristics of AI-Generated Code - AI-generated code is inherently "stateless," meaning it lacks the ability to understand the original author's intent or maintain a real-time memory of the coding process [3]. - Each piece of AI-generated code is essentially "written by someone else," as AI constructs its understanding of the context from scratch, without retaining the original input-output transformation process [5]. - AI-generated code is immediately perceived as "old code," skipping the "new code" phase and entering a state of being "legacy code" without the freshness or ongoing maintenance from the original author [5]. Group 2: Implications for Software Development - The current state of AI-generated code suggests a shift in software development practices, where the reliance on prompts and context windows may lead to less emphasis on long-term code maintenance [5]. - The article posits that AI-generated code may serve as a transitional tool in the short to medium term, facilitating a new approach to coding and software development [6]. Group 3: Perspectives from the Community - Comments from the community highlight the historical context of programming theories, suggesting that the complexity of software systems is rooted in collective developer understanding, which may be lost over time [8]. - There is a discussion on whether large language models (LLMs) can develop a theoretical understanding of programming akin to human developers, or if this understanding is inherently different [12].

Core Insights - The article discusses the launch of WritingBench, a comprehensive evaluation benchmark for generative writing capabilities of large models, developed by a collaboration between Alibaba Research, Renmin University of China, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University [3][4][10]. Group 1: WritingBench Overview - WritingBench covers six major domains and 100 sub-scenarios, with over 1,000 evaluation data points aimed at providing a thorough assessment of generative writing [3][10]. - The benchmark addresses two main challenges in evaluating AI writing: the limitation of existing assessments to single domains and short texts, and the inadequacy of traditional evaluation methods that do not align with human judgment [4][8]. Group 2: Evaluation Methodology - WritingBench employs a four-stage human-machine collaborative construction process, which includes generating simple writing tasks, complicating instructions, supplementing with real-world materials, and expert content quality checks [11][12][14]. - The benchmark supports diverse evaluation dimensions, including style, format, and length, making it more comprehensive than existing benchmarks [16]. Group 3: Dynamic Assessment System - WritingBench features a dynamic assessment system that generates evaluation metrics based on writing intent, achieving an 87% consistency score with human evaluations [19][20]. - A scoring model has been trained to provide adaptive scores from 1 to 10 based on various criteria, enhancing the evaluation process [21]. Group 4: Model Performance - The article highlights the performance of various models on WritingBench, with Deepseek-R1 achieving an average score of 8.55, while Qwen-Max scored 8.37 [28][30]. - The use of chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning in models has shown to improve performance in creative writing tasks, with models incorporating CoT outperforming those that do not [29]. Group 5: Challenges in Long Text Generation - The article notes a significant challenge in generating long texts, with most models experiencing quality degradation when output exceeds 3,000 tokens [35][36]. - Smaller models tend to produce repetitive content, while larger models may terminate early or only provide outlines, indicating a need for further optimization in long text generation [37][39].

编辑丨程曼祺 本月初经历仲裁风波后，月之暗面在 11 月 16 日发布新的 数学模型 k0-math ，当时月之暗面创始人杨植 麟反复提到 "o1"：他将 k0-math 的测评评分与 o1 比较，称其思路与 o1 类似——都采用了强化学习和思 维链技术。 o1 是 OpenAI 在今年 9 月发布的新模型，它有更强推理和数学能力。杨植麟曾在 o1 发布后不久的一场演 讲中说，o1 的出现意味着大模型的范式转换：从预测下一个 token 的规模扩展（ Next-Token Predictio Scaling）到强化学习的规模扩展（Reinforcement Learning Scaling)。 11 月发布 k0-math 时，杨植麟提了 23 次强化学习，17 次推理，7 次 o1。 文丨王与桐 从成立至今，月之暗面长期被认为是中国大模型创业公司中，技术人才密度颇高的一家。月之暗面现在仍只 有 100 多人，但汇集了杨植麟和周昕宇两位技术背景创始人，杨植麟发表过两篇大语言模型领域重要论文 [1]，周昕宇在旷视期间与现在加入另一家大模型独角兽阶跃星辰的张祥雨，一起发表过单篇引用超 9000 次 的卷积神经网络 ...
