Part 4/9:
With various payouts associated with each task, the classifications offer insights into the capabilities of different AI models and their potential to automate tasks in software engineering.
Challenges of Task Completion
A notable aspect of the Lancer benchmark is how it determines task difficulty and assigns pay accordingly. If an initial one-week offer of $1,000 for a problem goes unfulfilled, the payout increases progressively until a solution is found. This dynamic pricing based on real-world difficulty reflects the growing complexity of software development tasks, as seen in the example of a zip code validation error that escalated from a $1,000 bounty to $88,000.
