E2E-SWE: Benchmarking LLMs on Building Working Codebases from Scratch

E2E-SWE is a benchmark that tests large language models’ ability to create complete, functional software repositories from scratch. It includes 186 tasks across 11 programming languages, each requiring an agent to build an installable project based solely on a natural‑language specification and an empty workspace, while passing a hidden test suite. The benchmark was crafted by software engineers and LLMs, then refined through iterative verification by autonomous agents to ensure clarity and solvability.

A-JIT: Agentic Just-In-Time Software Construction

The paper introduces Agentic Just-In-Time Software Construction (A-JIT), a paradigm that replaces static software binaries with dynamic systems capable of continuous evolution. In A-JIT, an application consists of code, a runtime harness, and an embedded AI agent that observes usage and execution traces to specialize software logic, workflows, and tool interfaces for each user. This approach enables applications to dynamically generate missing implementations, create new capabilities on the fly, and adapt continuously to end‑user behavior, thereby supporting trace‑driven human‑AI co‑construction and opening a new design space for adaptive, self‑evolving software.

OpenAl4S: Code as Action, Science as Sessions

OpenAI4S is an open‑source scientific research agent that treats code as action and science as sessions, combining a persistent computing runtime with structured session management. It uses tool calls for orchestration, executes code cells in persistent Python and R kernels, and records an append‑only Action Ledger, per‑cell execution logs, versioned artifacts, environment snapshots, and workspace checkpoints to preserve provenance and enable session recovery, branching, and extension. Evaluated on 36 research scenarios—including retrosynthesis, molecular dynamics, and protein design—OpenAI4S achieved a higher overall score (7.83) than a general‑purpose coding harness, especially on long‑horizon, computation‑intensive workflows, though reproducibility remains an open challenge. whyItMatters":"The system demonstrates that persistent execution coupled with session‑level provenance can enhance the reliability of AI‑assisted scientific workflows, as evidenced by its superior performance across diverse research scenarios."
