As published

Harbor agent, among the builder's Model What it is
swe-agent any SWE-agent, the SWE-bench authors' own agent and the paper's agent baseline, which Harbor registers; a model of your choice runs it.

Upstream limitations

  • django__django-10097 passes with no change: the tests it grades pass without the fix, and the URL tests its fix is for are not among them.

Nullius limitations

  • On a shared API key, rate limits cause most failures: run few trials at once.
  • gpt-5.x models need the Responses API to reason while using tools.
  • On Nullius, the agent works in the instance's own container and the tests run there after it. Test files are reset first, so editing them does not help.
  • On Nullius, the agent can reach only its model. The tests get internet access after the agent ends.
  • The prompt is the issue's title and body, without the hints, as on the leaderboard.
  • Each instance's image is pinned. An image the authors rebuild is not used until the pin is refreshed.
  • SWE-agent, the authors' own agent, runs only on Harbor.
