The paper describes progress toward an AI Software Factory that accelerates every stage of the software development lifecycle—Targeting, Coding, Reviewing, and Ops—by generating a metadata exhaust for self‑improvement. It focuses on data systems and evolutionary coding tasks, reporting scaled deployments at Microsoft that achieved three‑fold engineering efficiency over agentic coding and up to 22‑fold token efficiency. The authors also outline several open challenges for further development.

SpecMine is a large-scale corpus that documents Spec-Driven Development (SDD) artifacts in public GitHub repositories. It includes a broad census of 470,795 spec files from 73,030 repositories linked to 17 tools, a focused census of 98,574 Kiro layout files from 12,910 repositories, and a sweep of 5,992 pull requests across 581 repositories that modify specs. The dataset provides enriched metadata, full commit histories, parsed document structures, and over 2.4 million typed references connecting specs to code, sibling documents, PRs, branches, and issues.
