Variable Naming Impact on AI Code Completion: An Empirical Study

2025-07-23

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>As AI code completion tools become central to software development, a fundamental question emerges: do variable naming conventions that aid human comprehension also improve AI model performance? We investigate this question using a controlled experimental design with 500 Python code examples generated by mistralai/Magistral-Small-2506 (24B parameters, quantized to 8bit), transformed int...
