arXiv:2604. 10645v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: There is a pressing need for better development methods and tools to keep up with the growing demand and increasing complexity of new software systems.
arXiv:2606. 18293v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Thanks to rapid developments in generative AI, we are in the midst of a paradigm shift that may change how we interact with computers forever.
The paper introduces SUSVIBES, a benchmark of 186 real‑world software engineering tasks where human programmers have committed vulnerable code. It evaluates 12 popular coding‑agent settings on these tasks and finds that all agents perform poorly in terms of security, with only 11.8% of solutions from SWE‑Agent with Claude 4 Sonnet being secure despite 57% being functionally correct. Attempts to mitigate security issues by adding vulnerability hints to the prompts do not improve results.
The unified agent for long-horizon productivity and coding, launching with Work and Code modes. Plus, a new Vibe VS Code extension.
arXiv:2604. 14137v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Evaluating LLMs is challenging, as benchmark scores often fail to capture models' real-world usefulness.
The study evaluates Vibe Coding, an AI‑led conversational programming paradigm that lets developers generate software via natural‑language interaction with large language models. In a mixed‑methods experiment with 30 participants, Vibe Coding improved development efficiency—reducing task completion time by 27% versus traditional coding and 12% versus AI‑assisted coding—while also yielding a good usability score (SUS = 71.4) and moderate cognitive workload (NASA‑TLX = 55.5). However, the gains came with trade‑offs: lower maintainability indices, higher security vulnerabilities, and themes of trust calibration, loss of control, and prompt‑engineering strategy emerged, leading the authors to propose a three‑pillar framework for responsible adoption.
The paper introduces a new inference architecture for vibe design agents that separates design exploration from implementation. By generating structured design specifications with typicality scores and selecting one for downstream generation, the method allows users to explore coherent UI alternatives without altering the underlying generation settings. Experiments on UI themes and visual-asset prompts show increased selection coverage and screenshot variation, with mixed preferences from an LLM judge and modest operational costs in a large online test.
arXiv:2606. 19042v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In vibe coding, an emerging AI-driven paradigm, an LLM generates an entire program from a natural language prompt, but what happens to the variability that traditional software engineering carefully builds into code?
arXiv:2511. 02399v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in large language model agents offer the promise of automating end-to-end software development from natural language requirements.
arXiv:2607. 27146v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coding agents have made substantial progress on software engineering tasks that modify existing codebases, including bug fixing and feature implementation.
arXiv:2607. 06713v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are rapidly moving towards closing the development cycle, transitioning from simple assistive companions to autonomous contributors deeply embedded into collaborative development environments.
ChatDev 2.0, also called DevAll, is a no-code platform that lets users build, run, and inspect heterogeneous multi‑agent systems (MAS) powered by large language models. It combines a declarative executable graph abstraction with a cycle‑aware execution engine, enabling representation and execution of dynamic, cyclic interactions among diverse agents. The integrated visual interface allows users to author, monitor, and inspect MAS—including human‑in‑the‑loop steps—without writing code, and experiments show it matches state‑of‑the‑art MAS performance across three tasks.
