by Microsoft Research · open-source · Last verified 2026-03-17
Evol-CodeAlpaca is a code instruction-tuning dataset of 110,000 programming problem-solution pairs generated using the EvolInstruct methodology applied to Code Alpaca seeds, progressively evolving instructions in complexity and diversity through GPT-4. It is the primary training dataset for WizardCoder and significantly improved coding benchmarks such as HumanEval and MBPP over its predecessor datasets.
