Claw-SWE-Bench: A Benchmark for Evaluating OpenClaw-style Agent Harnesses on Coding Tasks

General-purpose agents such as OpenClaw are increasingly used as autonomous tool users, but their coding ability is difficult to measure under SWE-bench: a generic agent does not by itself satisfy the clean Docker workspace, patch, and prediction contract required for scoring. We introduce Claw-SWE-Bench, a multilingual SWE-bench-style benchmark and adapter protocol that makes heterogeneous agent harnesses, or claws, comparable under fair settings including a fixed prompt, runtime budget, workspace contract, patch extraction procedure, and evaluator.

Scalable Supervision for Software Agents via Patch Reasoning

The paper introduces R4P, a reasoning‑based supervision method for software agents that eliminates the need for test execution by using a group‑wise training objective to verify multiple patches simultaneously. R4P achieves 72.2% accuracy on the SWE‑bench patch verification task, matching proprietary models, and enables the creation of an execution‑free scaffold called Mini‑SE. Mini‑SE, trained purely with reinforcement learning via R4P, improves Pass@1 from 26.2% to 32.8% over the baseline Qwen3‑32B, demonstrating R4P’s practical utility and scalable performance.

LLM4Cov: Execution-Aware Agentic Learning for High-coverage Testbench Generation

arXiv:2602. 16953v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Execution-aware LLM agents offer a promising paradigm for learning from tool feedback, but such feedback can be expensive and slow to obtain, making online reinforcement learning (RL) less practical in certain scenarios.
