Overview

SWE-agent turns LMs (e.g. GPT-4) into software engineering agents that can fix bugs and issues in real GitHub repositories.

On SWE-bench, SWE-agent resolves 12.29% of issues, achieving the state-of-the-art performance on the full test set.

We accomplish our results by designing simple LM-centric commands and feedback formats to make it easier for the LM to browse the repository, view, edit and execute code files. We call this an 🤖 Agent-Computer Interface (ACI). Read more about the ACI here.

SWE-agent is built and maintained by researchers from Princeton University.
