Evaluation of model performance on the test split of the LeetCode environment (with write access context), specifically assessing the model's propensity for Reward Hacking, measured by the Hack Rate.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Reward Hacking |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | LeetCode with write access (test) |
| Metric | Hack Rate |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 16 of 16 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Hack Rate](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/reward-hacking-on-leetcode-with-write-access-test.md?metric=Hack%20Rate>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.
