Characterizing Overconfident Failure in LLM-Based Code Generation

arXiv:2610.11300v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for automated code generation, but generated programs can appear syntactically plausible while still failing execution-based correctness checks. Existing validation methods, such as testing and program analysis, remain essential but are often incomplete, costly, or applied only after generation. Model-derived uncertainty is therefore a natural early reliability signal. This paper studies the dilemma of overconfidence in code LLMs where incorrect programs are often generated with token-level con
