Neural Code Intelligence -- leveraging deep learning to understand, generate, and optimize code -- holds immense potential for transformative impacts on the whole society. Bridging the gap between Natural Language and Programming Language, this domain has drawn significant attention from researchers in both research communities over the past few years. This survey presents a systematic and chronological review of the advancements in code intelligence, encompassing over 50 representative models and their variants, more than 20 categories of tasks, and an extensive coverage of over 680 related works. We follow the historical progression to trace the paradigm shifts across different research phases (e.g., from modeling code with recurrent neural networks to the era of Large Language Models). Concurrently, we highlight the major technical transitions in models, tasks, and evaluations spanning through different stages. For applications, we also observe a co-evolving shift. It spans from initial endeavors to tackling specific scenarios, through exploring a diverse array of tasks during its rapid expansion, to currently focusing on tackling increasingly complex and varied real-world challenges. Building on our examination of the developmental trajectories, we further investigate the emerging synergies between code intelligence and broader machine intelligence, uncovering new cross-domain opportunities and illustrating the substantial influence of code intelligence across various domains. Finally, we delve into both the opportunities and challenges associated with this field, alongside elucidating our insights on the most promising research directions. An ongoing, dynamically updated project and resources associated with this survey have been released at https://github.com/QiushiSun/Awesome-Code-Intelligence.

  1. From Requirements to Code: Understanding Developer Practices in LLM-Assisted Software Engineering

    cs.SE 2025-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Developers do not feed raw requirements into LLMs; they manually decompose requirements into programming tasks and enrich prompts with design, architecture, and code context before generating code.

  2. OSReward: Instituting Standardized Evaluation for Cross-Platform Computer-Use Reward Models

    cs.AI 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    VLM judges of CUA trajectories are systematically lenient; OSReward measures this with human gold, and OS-Shepherd open models close most of the reliability gap cheaply.

  3. CODA: Coordinating the Cerebrum and Cerebellum for a Dual-Brain Computer Use Agent with Decoupled Reinforcement Learning

    cs.CV 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A decoupled planner-executor GUI agent, trained by per-app reinforcement learning followed by specialist-to-generalist distillation, lifts ScienceBoard success from about 7.6% to 21.0% average and 40% pass@8.

  4. CodeEvo: Interaction-Driven Synthesis of Code-centric Data through Hybrid and Iterative Feedback

    cs.SE 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    CodeEvo uses two interacting LLM agents with keyword-guided instruction evolution and hybrid compiler-plus-LLM feedback to synthesize high-quality instruction-code pairs for fine-tuning code models.

  5. DiffuCoder: Understanding and Improving Masked Diffusion Models for Code Generation

    cs.CL 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 7B masked-diffusion code model plus complementary-mask GRPO (coupled-GRPO) improves benchmark scores and shifts decoding away from strict left-to-right order.

  6. GUI-Actor: Coordinate-Free Visual Grounding for GUI Agents

    cs.CL 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An attention-based action head with multi-patch supervision outperforms coordinate-generation baselines on GUI grounding, and a verifier further improves accuracy.

  7. Fast and Cost-effective Speculative Edge-Cloud Decoding with Early Exits

    cs.RO 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Edge-cloud speculative decoding runs faster when early exits in the server model let the client pre-draft the next candidate tokens before final verification is complete.

  8. BenchMAX: A Comprehensive Multilingual Evaluation Suite for Large Language Models

    cs.CL 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A 17-language, ten-task benchmark built with machine translation and native-speaker post-editing shows LLM performance gaps across languages persist when models are scaled up.

  9. GeoPandas-AI: A Smart Class Bringing LLM as Stateful AI Code Assistant

    cs.HC 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A new open-source Python class, GeoDataFrameAI, adds a stateful LLM chat interface directly to GeoPandas data frames for geospatial code generation and analysis.
