FrogNano: Training a 4B Coding Agent via Online Task Synthesis

FrogNano is a 4B coding agent trained exclusively with reinforcement learning on about 1,500 synthetic software engineering environments. Its training leverages an online task synthesis pipeline that generates tasks at the current agent’s learnability frontier, improving performance without distilling from larger models. The report details the methodology, evaluates the agent across diverse environments, and analyzes its effectiveness as a lightweight coding agent for minimal hardware.
