AA introduces Coding Agent Index - Performance Comparisons between Model & Harness Combinations

Reddit r/singularity News

Summary

Artificial Analysis introduces the Coding Agent Index, a new benchmark suite combining SWE-Bench-Pro-Hard-AA, Terminal-Bench v2, and SWE-Atlas-QnA to evaluate the performance of AI coding agents across diverse tasks.

>**The Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index includes 3 leading benchmarks that represent a broad spectrum of coding agent use:** ➤ **SWE-Bench-Pro-Hard-AA**, 150 realistic coding tasks that frontier models struggle with, sampled from Scale AI’s SWE-Bench Pro ➤ **Terminal-Bench v2**, 84 agentic terminal tasks from the Laude Institute and that range from system administration and cryptography to machine learning. 5 tasks were filtered due to environment incompatibility ➤ **SWE-Atlas-QnA**, 124 technical questions developed by Scale AI about how code behaves, root causes of issues, and more, requiring agents to explore codebases and give text answers More details in their X post: [Artificial Analysis on X](https://x.com/ArtificialAnlys/status/2053865095076438427/photo/1)

Artificial Analysis open-sources AA-AgentPerf-Local, an inference benchmarking tool that replays real agent trajectories to measure how fast agentic AI runs on laptops and workstations, with initial results for NVIDIA DGX Spark, RTX 5090, AMD Ryzen AI Halo, and MacBook Pro M5 Pro.

AI Coding Agents Can Reproduce Social Science Findings

arXiv cs.CL

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.
