Quantum API Drift: leaderboard

The quantum-api-drift benchmark (Khalifa University, 2026) asks models to write Qiskit code for a named SDK version and runs it in that version, three samples per prompt at temperature 0.8. The score is Pass@1 in percent averaged over the Qiskit 0.43, 1.3 and 2.0 targets, each with 50 Qiskit HumanEval-derived tasks; higher is better.

Metric: Mean version fidelity (%): Pass@1 on the prompted Qiskit version, averaged over the Qiskit 0.43, 1.3 and 2.0 targets (unbiased estimator from 3 samples per task over 50 Qiskit HumanEval-derived tasks); REST API access at temperature 0.8 with a 1,024-token output cap; higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 16 models tracked.
