Revisiting the Performance of Generative Artificial Intelligence on Introductory Object-Oriented Programming Assessments: Insights from 2026

Excerpt

arXiv:2608.16318v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) have substantially improved the ability of large language models (LLMs) to generate and explain source code. However, their performance on authentic object-oriented programming (OOP) assessments remains insufficiently understood. This study evaluates five widely used GenAI systems, ChatGPT-5.2, DeepSeek-V3, Gemini 2.5 Flash, Claude Sonnet 4.5, and M365 Copilot, using programming tests
