SWE-agent enables your language model of choice (e.g. GPT-4o or Claude Sonnet 4) to autonomously use tools to fix issues in real GitHub repositories, find cybersecurity vulnerabilities, or perform any custom task.

• ✅ State of the art on SWE-bench among open-source projects
• ✅ Free-flowing & generalizable: Leaves maximal agency to the LM
• ✅ Configurable & fully documented: Governed by a single yaml file
• ✅ Made for research: Simple & hackable by design

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

• May 2: SWE-agent-LM-32b achieves open-weights SOTA on SWE-bench
• Feb 28: SWE-agent 1.0 + Claude 3.7 is SoTA on SWE-Bench full
• Feb 25: SWE-agent 1.0 + Claude 3.7 is SoTA on SWE-bench verified
• Feb 13: Releasing SWE-agent 1.0: SoTA on SWE-bench light & tons of new features
