Example of a Prompt for Sequence Completion

Examples of Prompts for Python Code Generation

A developer has started writing a Python function but needs help finishing the implementation. They have the following code:

def calculate_factorial(n):
    """Calculates the factorial of a non-negative integer n."""
    # Implementation needed here

They want to use a language model to generate the rest of the function's code. Which of the following prompts is most likely to yield a correct, efficient, and contextually appropriate code completion?

Critiquing an AI-Generated Code Snippet

A developer provides a language model with the following Python code and comment, asking it to complete the function:

def find_even_numbers(num_list):
    # return a new list containing only the even numbers from num_list

Below are four different outputs the model could generate. Match each output to the most accurate description of its quality or potential issue.

An AI research lab trains two language models of similar size and architecture. Model A is trained exclusively on a vast corpus of natural language texts. Model B is trained on the same text corpus plus a large volume of programming code. When evaluated on tasks requiring complex, multi-step logical reasoning (such as solving intricate word puzzles), Model B significantly outperforms Model A. What is the most likely explanation for Model B's superior reasoning ability?
