AI coding agents find the right file but miss the exact lines that matter, study shows

A new study using the SWE-Explore benchmark reveals that AI coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex reliably locate the correct file but fail to identify most of the critical lines within it, highlighting a gap in code search that undermines repair accuracy.

AI coding agents like Claude Code or Codex reliably find the right file but miss most of the critical lines within it. The new SWE-Explore benchmark is the first to test code search separately from the actual repair, and it shows that without enough context, even the best fix will fail.
