Run like this, the script will run all the exercises in a random order.

You can run `./benchmark/benchmark.py --help` for a list of all the arguments, but here are the most useful to keep in mind:

- `--model` is the name of the model, same as you would pass directly to `aider`.
- `--edit-format` is the name of the edit format, same as you would pass directly to `aider`. When working with an experimental LLM, I recommend starting with `whole`
- `--threads` specifies how many exercises to benchmark in parallel. Start with a single thread if you are working out the kinks on your benchmarking setup or working with a new model, etc. Once you are getting reliable results, you can speed up the process by running with more threads. 10 works well against the OpenAI APIs.
- `--num-tests` specifies how many of the 133 tests to run before stopping. This is another way to start gently as you debug your benchmarking setup.

- `--keywords` filters the tests to run to only the ones whose name match the supplied argument (similar to `pytest -k xxxx`).
