AgentSWE tests whether coding agents build agents that meet requirements

huggingface.co by Jiahao Wang et al. Editor score 8/10

AgentSWE evaluates agent creation, production-code editing, and optimization across 25 tasks, using held-out cases and requirement-derived acceptance rubrics. It offers a more realistic way to test whether coding agents deliver behavior users asked for.

What

AgentSWE benchmarks coding agents that create, edit, and optimize agents against user requirements.

Method

Its 25 tasks let builders iterate on illustrative cases, then test frozen submissions on held-out cases using requirement-based rubrics or benchmark objectives.

Why it matters

Evaluated coding agents fell short of requirements; the gap between demonstrated and delivered behavior was the norm.
