Summary

Benzi is a coding agent that queries codebases to understand and write code, achieving 77.4% on SWE-bench Verified for under $30, and is model agnostic.

Benzi is a compiler + runtime tracer + harness and Al agent built to understand code from ground up. Challenging traditional RAG and embedding space approaches, Benzi aims to write code as cleanly as it understands it. 77.4% SWE-bench Verified (#4 on the leaderboard) for less than $30. (using deepseekv4flash. Benzi is model agnostic) Also included in the benchmarks page is proof for mechanism that makes this possible. Any feedback is greatly appriciated!

New Compiler based agent cuts costs by 2x and improves code intelligence (78.2% SWE-bench Verified @ 0.1¢)

Reddit r/ArtificialInteligence

Benzi is a compiler-backed coding agent that first compiles a codebase into a queryable map of calls, data flow, and class hierarchies, reportedly hitting 78.2% on SWE-bench Verified with DeepSeek V4 flash at under 10 cents per fix. It claims 2x less source code read than Claude Code while being 40% faster and 2x cheaper, and ships as a VS Code extension, headless runtime, and MCP tools.
