Two points: >That's expected, since all the leetcode problems have ready-to-use solutions on the internet. 1) If the implication is "The model knows the answer and regurgitates it like lyrics to a song" then I would push back. Put a leet code problem into deepseek r1 chain-of-reasoning model and watch it spend 2 minutes spitting out 5000 words thinking through every single facet of the problem and genuinely solving it at a level that is higher than 95% of programmers. And point 2) If you do believe it's fundamentally about how much the model has been trained on, then it has seen your CRUD app and has already seen 10,000 times the feature or system you're about to write -- so it should be a foregone conclusion that it can also do all of that development work too. Only the higher order architecting and proprietary domains should be challenging for it, as there would be far less examples to train on (scarcity) or the model doesn't understand a complex solution (architecting systems at scale is something it can't do). (I also point out how well these models did for Advent of Code 2024, when there were zero examples in the training data for it).
