OpenAI drops SWE-Bench Pro over reliability concerns

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Hacker News ·

OpenAI no longer recommends SWE-Bench Pro for evaluating coding models, citing unreliable scores that don't reflect real-world performance. The company found that the benchmark's metrics can be gamed and don't correlate with actual software engineering tasks. OpenAI now advocates for more robust evaluation methods like SWE-Bench Verified and internal human assessments.
