In this episode, we discuss SWE-agent: Agent-Computer Interfaces Enable Automated Software Engineering by John Yang, Carlos E. Jimenez, Alexander Wettig, Kilian Lieret, Shunyu Yao, Karthik Narasimhan, Ofir Press. The paper introduces SWE-agent, an autonomous system leveraging a language model to tackle software engineering tasks through a specialized agent-computer interface (ACI). SWE-agent significantly improves task completion rates, solving 12.5% of issues on SWE-bench compared to the previous best of 3.8%. The study also examines the impact of ACI design on agent performance, offering insights into effective interface design.
