SWE-PolyBench contains over 2,000 curated issues in four languages. In addition, it contains a stratified subset of 500 issues (SWE-PolyBench500) for the purpose of rapid experimentation. SWE-PolyBench evaluates the performance of AI coding agents through a comprehensive set of metrics: pass rates across different programming languages and task complexity levels, along with precision and recall measurements for code\/file context identification. These evaluation metrics can help the community address challenges in understanding how well AI coding agents can navigate through and comprehend complex codebases<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Perhaps unsurprisingly, Amazon Q Developer Agent is currently leading this benchmark in the <a href=\"https:\/\/amazon-science.github.io\/SWE-PolyBench\/\">leaderboard<\/a>.
