SWE-Agent: Agent-Computer Interfaces Enable Automated Software Engineering
AI Summary
The Princeton paper that named the discipline of 'agent-computer interface' (ACI) design — arguing language-model agents are a new category of end users and deserve specially-built interfaces, not human IDEs retrofitted. Demonstrates that careful ACI design alone (no model fine-tuning) takes SWE-bench from 3.8% to 12.5%. The academic citation that legitimized harness engineering as a research field rather than just a product trick.
