AI Engineer·2026-07-07 03:45
Hi everyone. My name is Rishi Desai. I'm an ML engineer at Abundant AI, where we build reinforcement learning environments for Frontier Labs.Today, I'm going to talk about SWE Marathon, a benchmark that answers a question that is starting to matter a lot more. Can coding agents stay coherent over a billion token budget. Can they build Slack from scratch.Can they rewrite an entire JAX code base in PyTorch. Can they build a C compiler in Rust. This is what SWE Marathon is trying to measure.What happens when c ...
