CODA-BENCH: Can Code Agents Handle Data-Intensive Tasks?
Summary
CODA-BENCH is a new benchmark for evaluating code agents on data-intensive tasks, bridging the gap between code-centric and data-centric evaluations. It includes over 1,000 tasks from 31 communities, with realistic data scale and noise, revealing that even top agents achieve only 61.1% success rate.

Abstract
Advanced agents struggle to effectively integrate data discovery with code execution in data-intensive environments, revealing a significant gap in current agentic capabilities.
Advanced agents are increasingly demonstrating the potential to operate as autonomous engineers, creating a growing demand for evaluation benchmarks that capture the complexity of real-world development. Such environments typically involve both complex code and large-scale data (i.e., file system). However, existing benchmarks usually evaluate code-centric ordata-centric capabilitiesin isolation, leaving a clear gap with real development scenarios. In this paper, we bridge this gap by introducing CODA-BENCH, the first benchmark to jointly evaluate code and data intelligence in adata-intensive environment. We construct a data-intensive Linux sandbox based on the Kaggle ecosystem (containing hundreds of datasets), where agents must actively explore complex file hierarchies to identify relevant resources and generate code for data-driven analytical tasks. CODA-BENCH comprises 1,009 tasks spanning 31 communities, with each task environment containing an average of 980 files, simulating realistic data scale and noise. Evaluations of advanced agents reveal that even top-performing systems struggle to effectively integratedata discoverywithcode execution, achieving a success rate of only 61.1%. These results highlight a substantial gap in current agentic capabilities for data-intensive tasks and point to promising directions for future research.

AI Coding Agents Can Reproduce Social Science Findings
This paper introduces SocSci-Repro-Bench, a benchmark of 221 tasks to evaluate AI coding agents' ability to reproduce social science findings from original data and code. It finds that frontier agents like Claude Code and Codex can reproduce a large share of results, with Claude substantially outperforming Codex, and that results are not primarily driven by memorization.
