FeatureLoop is a benchmark that evaluates coding agents on 61 human‑reviewed tasks drawn from 34 repositories in five programming languages. Each task tracks a development goal through iterative feedback—adding or clarifying requirements and reporting failures—while cumulative executable checks monitor new behavior, repairs, and preservation of earlier functionality. In tests of 12 state‑of‑the‑art models, the best agent completed 72.1% of tasks with both feedback types, but only 15.4% of failures were recovered within two revisions, highlighting issues such as incomplete repairs, regressions, and token inefficiency.

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.
