SWE-Bench Pro: Can AI Agents Solve Long-Horizon Software Engineering Tasks?
Canonical reference. 71% of citing Pith papers cite this work as background.
abstract
We introduce SWE-Bench Pro, a substantially more challenging benchmark that builds upon the best practices of SWE-BENCH [25], but is explicitly designed to capture realistic, complex, enterprise-level problems beyond the scope of SWE-BENCH. SWE-BENCH PRO contains 1,865 problems sourced from a diverse set of 41 actively maintained repositories spanning business applications, B2B services, and developer tools. The benchmark is partitioned into a public set with open access to problems sourced from 11 repositories, a held-out set of 12 repositories and a commercial set of 18 proprietary repositories where we have formal partnership agreements with early-stage startups. Problems in the held-out and the commercial set are not publicly accessible, but we release results on the commercial set. Our benchmark features long-horizon tasks that may require hours to days for a professional software engineer to complete, often involving patches across multiple files and substantial code modifications. All tasks are human-verified and augmented with sufficient context to ensure resolvability. To better understand these limitations, we cluster the failure modes observed in the collected agent trajectories for a clearer characterization of the error patterns exhibited by current models. Overall, SWE-BENCH PRO provides a contamination-resistant testbed that more faithfully captures the complexity and diversity of real-world software development, advancing the pursuit of truly autonomous software engineering agents at a professional level.

WorldBench provides 1,600 culturally grounded tasks with a metric that penalizes accidental changes to unrelated files, showing that frontier LLM agents remain brittle in multilingual long-horizon scenarios.
A2Agent improves repository-level code localization by providing per-turn rewards and action-level advantage estimation, outperforming trajectory-level methods on SWE-Bench Verified and Pro.

PILOT couples live steering and live self-evolution in a supervisor-worker architecture to improve long-horizon agent performance mid-run and across runs.
A self-evolving coding agent can be poisoned through its own tool-authoring step: reading a planted skill makes the agent author, store, and later run a malicious copy that persists even after the original skill is removed.
A controlled multi-session benchmark shows that later coding tasks can depend on earlier-session memory, and that a simple verbatim event-memory baseline is surprisingly strong, while the benchmark reliably discriminates memory-bearing conditions from no memory.
Coding agents lose up to 6.7 percentage points of issue-resolution rate on semantically equivalent code rewrites, and model robustness rankings flip across scaffolds.
A vision-language model that selectively retrieves source text from query-relevant rendered pages improves long-context QA accuracy over uniform visual compression while keeping average prompt-token savings.
DDBench, a 60-case distributed-debugging benchmark, spreads frontier LLMs that cluster on SWE-bench and shows bounded debugging context raises average pass rates from 32.6% to 50.6%.
Harness-IF scores 256 rules across coding-agent runs and finds every model performs 3.6 to 7.4 points worse on rules that oppose unprompted defaults, so aggregate compliance scores overstate true instruction following.
Heterogeneous serving that moves the KV cache and retrieval-based sparse attention to general-purpose processing-near-memory devices improves simulated decode throughput per TDP by 2.09-6.13x over a GPU-only baseline.
SWE-Interact shows frontier models solve roughly 25% of multi-turn interactive coding tasks versus 50% on single-turn baselines.
On 108 long-horizon real-world computer workflows, frontier agents complete at most 20.6% of tasks and fail mainly by losing hidden state, not by basic GUI control.
