Tired of comparing LLMs across proprietary, apples-to-oranges agent scaffolds for SWE tasks? 📢📢 Introducing a unified leaderboard: all models are evaluated using live-SWE-agent, the first live software agent that self-evolves on the fly. 🔥 Opus 4.5 + live-SWE-agent hits

🤯🤯🤯 Gemini 3 Pro + Live-SWE-agent hits 77.4% on SWE-bench Verified, beating ALL existing models, including Claude 4.5!! 🤖 Live-SWE-agent is the first live software agent that autonomously self-evolves on the fly — and it even outperforms the manually engineered scaffold
