SWE-bench Verified — historical release

SWE-bench Verified — historical release evaluates agent-plus-model ability to navigate Python repositories and produce test-passing patches for selected real-world issues.

SWE-bench Verified — historical release 500-instance 2024 release; historical OpenAI snapshot

Permanent entry
Task and data
SWE-bench Verified is a human-filtered set of 500 real GitHub issue-resolution tasks whose problem statements, tests, and environments were reviewed for feasibility.
Primary metric
Percent resolved is the share of instances whose generated patch applies and passes both FAIL_TO_PASS and PASS_TO_PASS tests; higher is better for a fixed scaffold and harness.
What it measures
agent-plus-model ability to navigate Python repositories and produce test-passing patches for selected real-world issues.
Comparison rules
Treat the 2024 OpenAI figure as historical. Current mini-SWE-agent releases 1.x and 2.x are explicitly not necessarily comparable, and arbitrary-scaffold results form other lineages.
Access and licensing
Repository issues, code, and tests retain their original project licenses. The Compendium does not reproduce issue text, patches, tests, or repository assets.
