Papers rated as moving the field

How we choose

SWE Atlas

“We evaluate a range of frontier and open-weight models on SWE Atlas and find that GPT-5.4 and Opus 4.7 achieve the strongest overall performance, while even the best open-weight models score poorly.”

The authors, in the abstract

Benchmarking Coding Agents Beyond Issue Resolution

BenchmarkarXivPDF

Agent Island

“As an example, we investigate same-provider preference in final-round votes and find that models are 8.3 p.p. more likely to support a same-provider finalist than finalists from other providers.”

Reward Hacking Benchmark

“We identify six exploit categories and find that 72% of reward hacking episodes include explicit chain-of-thought rationale, suggesting models often frame exploits as legitimate problem-solving.”
