Show HN: Parsimony – an open-source benchmark for how much code AI models add

Parsimony is an open‑source benchmark that measures how much code AI models generate. The project, posted on Hacker News, lets developers compare model outputs against reference code to assess verbosity and efficiency. By providing a standardized dataset and evaluation metrics, Parsimony aims to help researchers and practitioners evaluate and improve code‑generation models. The initiative encourages community contributions and transparency in AI coding tools.
