Improving Large Language Models for Code through Runtime Program-State Reasoning

Hongwei Li, Spandan Garg, Yufan Huang

Large language models receive limited explicit training in reasoning about runtime program states. We study whether training models to reason about runtime program states improves…

Terminus-4B: Can a Smaller Model Replace Frontier LLMs at Agentic Execution Tasks?

Spandan Garg, Vikram Nitin, Yufan Huang

Modern coding agents increasingly delegate specialized subtasks to subagents, which are smaller, focused agentic loops that handle narrow responsibilities like search, debugging or…

Debug2Fix: Can Interactive Debugging Help Coding Agents Fix More Bugs?

Spandan Garg, Yufan Huang

While significant progress has been made in automating various aspects of software development through coding agents, there is still significant room for improvement in their bug f…

Saving SWE-Bench: A Benchmark Mutation Approach for Realistic Agent Evaluation

Spandan Garg, Benjamin Steenhoek, Yufan Huang

Current benchmarks for evaluating software engineering agents, such as SWE-Bench Verified, are predominantly derived from GitHub issues and fail to accurately reflect how developer…

PerfBench: Can Agents Resolve Real-World Performance Bugs?

Spandan Garg, Roshanak Zilouchian Moghaddam, Neel Sundaresan

Performance bugs are inefficiencies in software that waste computational resources without causing functional failures, making them particularly challenging to detect and fix. Whil…

The SWE-Bench Illusion: When State-of-the-Art LLMs Remember Instead of Reason

Shanchao Liang, Spandan Garg, Roshanak Zilouchian Moghaddam

As large language models (LLMs) become increasingly capable and widely adopted, benchmarks play a central role in assessing their practical utility. For example, SWE-Bench Verified…

RAPGen: An Approach for Fixing Code Inefficiencies in Zero-Shot

Spandan Garg, Roshanak Zilouchian Moghaddam, Neel Sundaresan

Performance bugs are non-functional bugs that can even manifest in well-tested commercial products. Fixing these performance bugs is an important yet challenging problem. In this w…

Generating Examples From CLI Usage: Can Transformers Help?

Roshanak Zilouchian Moghaddam, Spandan Garg, Colin B. Clement +2

Continuous evolution in modern software often causes documentation, tutorials, and examples to be out of sync with changing interfaces and frameworks. Relying on outdated documenta…
