This paper introduces ProgramDistill, a benchmark that evaluates coding agents on their ability to infer behavior from working software and implement it in an incomplete application. Practitioners in AI/ML and web development might care about this work because it provides a scalable and controlled benchmark for evaluating and training coding agents.
