SWE-agent

What is SWE-agent?

SWE-agent turns language models, such as GPT-4, into agents capable of fixing issues directly in GitHub repositories, tackling coding challenges, and handling cybersecurity tasks through its EnIGMA mode. It offers extensive customization without requiring code changes, and the project publishes its goals, research, code documentation, and guidance on modifying agent behavior. This makes it a versatile foundation for building your own agents for coding, cybersecurity, and related tasks.

Who created SWE-agent?

SWE-agent was created by Princeton University’s Natural Language Processing Group. The project is hosted on GitHub under “princeton-nlp/SWE-agent,” where it has accumulated 13.7k stars and 1.4k forks.
