@jyangballin @KLieret I first wanted to say this is harder than AGI because no human could do it alone. Then I checked and found out SQLite, FFmpeg and PHP were each written by one developer, back when there was no Stack Overflow to ask. 1.2K views · 30 likes · 1 reposts · 2 replies 05 May 2026 Code: https://t.co/T51AB8DmcI We’ve open sourced the evaluation code, so you can run your agent + model combination on ProgramBench tasks today! Opening submissions for leaderboard, tasks, and tests soon. https://t.co/U6UjUb3xJx 9.4K views · 65 likes · 2 reposts · 2 replies 05 May 2026 ProgramBench is a joint effort across Meta FAIR, Meta TBD, Stanford, Harvard @KLieret (co-first author) @18jeffreyma @parth007_96 @dpedch @sten_sootla @micmylin @pengchengyin @magpie_rayhou @syhw @Diyi_Yang @OfirPress Paper: https://t.co/tCaaFurAFU https://t.co/sSsXDPnjyH 10.3K views · 90 likes · 6 reposts · 3 replies 05 May 2026 ProgramBench is very hard, but it’s solvable by design. While the official best score is 0%, our extended results reveal varying levels of meaningful progress across tasks. We added a lot of interactive plots & tables to our website. https://t.co/S3N2YQh4G6 12.2K views · 104 likes · 2 reposts · 4 replies 05 May 2026 Our 200 instances range from simple (jq, ripgrep) to extremely difficult (ffmpeg, sqlite, compilers). Stats and some team favorites in the images. Improving performance on ProgramBench means that models can increasingly build software from requirements alone. https://t.co/XDDmxb 12.6K views · 84 likes · 1 reposts · 2 replies 05 May 2026 Check out our paper for a bunch of analyses - Models write Python solutions even though originals are in C++/Rust/Go - 98% of runs, models submit before hitting time/turn limits - Given internet access, models Googled solutions 36% of the time, even when told not to https://t.co 12.3K views · 73 likes · 3 reposts · 2 replies 05 May 2026 To make a ProgramBench task: 1. Find a GitHub repo that builds a program 2. Generate 1000s of tests (assert ./program [input] == [output]) Key difference vs. SWE-bench: Our tests are *behavioral*. We don't use unit tests b/c they constrain implementation https://t.co/yCZSI0diHG 17.4K views · 116 likes · 2 reposts · 2 replies 05 May 2026 Several key constraints: - Agent ONLY gets a target executable + some usage doc. - Agent chooses language, designs abstractions, architects the entire program. - No internet access or any other way of cheating. - Executable cannot be decompiled/inspected. https://t.co/qvpHVWv4Xx 21.8K views · 108 likes · 2 reposts · 8 replies 05 May 2026 There's been a wave of case studies on agents building whole programs from scratch, but they test a few projects with hand-tuned setups. ProgramBench formalizes this setting w/ 200 tasks and doubles down on testing, cheat prevention, and task diversity https://t.co/KC5WxwCVEW h 20.2K views · 114 likes · 0 reposts · 3 replies 05 May 2026 How much of SQLite, FFmpeg, PHP compiler can LMs code from scratch? Given just an executable and no starter code or internet access. Introducing ProgramBench: 200 rigorous, whole-repo generation tasks where models design, build, and ship a working program end to end. 🧵 https://t 751.7K views · 1.6K likes · 246 reposts · 107 replies 05 May 2026
