DeepSWE Measuring frontier coding agents

DataCurve released DeepSWE, a new benchmark for evaluating frontier coding agents on original, long-horizon software engineering tasks. The benchmark features contamination-free tasks written from scratch across 91 repositories in five languages, requiring 5.5 times more code and twice the output tokens than existing benchmarks like SWE-bench Pro. DeepSWE aims to differentiate top-performing coding models that currently cluster within narrow score bands on saturated public benchmarks.

by Measuring frontier coding agents on original, long-horizon engineering tasks

Today's leading public coding benchmarks are starting to saturate at the frontier: top models cluster within a narrow score band where adjacent configurations often overlap on confidence intervals. DeepSWE is a long-horizon software engineering benchmark built to separate them. It delivers four advances over existing public benchmarks:

Contamination free: Tasks are written from scratch, not adapted from existing commits or PRs, so no model has seen the solution during pretraining.High diversity: Tasks span a broad pool of 91 repositories across 5 languages.** Real-world complexity**: Prompts are ~half the length of SWE-bench Pro's, yet solutions require 5.5x more code and ~2x more output tokens.** Reliable verification**: Verifiers are hand-written to test software behavior rather than implementation details.

The result is a benchmark that reflects how today's frontier coding agents actually perform in software engineering work.
