DeepSWE - Best Benchmark For Evaluating AI Coding Agents?

noreply@blogger.com (Nikos Vaggalis) — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 16:41:24 +0000

DeepSWE is a high-fidelity benchmarking platform designed to evaluate the performance of frontier AI coding agents on complex long-horizon software engineering tasks.

Unlike traditional benchmarks that reuse existing GitHub data, this system utilizes original, contamination-free tasks across five major programming languages to prevent models from relying on memorized solutions, creating a much clearer separation between frontier coding models than older public benchmarks like SWE-bench.

pg_durable - Durable SQL Functions And Orchestration For PostgreSQL

noreply@blogger.com (Nikos Vaggalis) — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 15:23:00 +0000

pg_durable is a Microsoft developed PostgreSQL extension that integrates fault-tolerant, long-running execution directly into the database.

To understand why this is useful, think about what normally happens if you run a long, complex database job and the server crashes or your connection drops; you lose your progress, and you have to start all over again.
