Hi everyone!

SWE-Lancer, from OpenAI, is a fascinating new benchmark for evaluating AI models on real-world software engineering tasks. And it's not just about coding – SWE-Lancer also tests AI's ability to make managerial decisions.

This isn't just another synthetic benchmark – it's based on over 1,400 actual freelance jobs posted on Upwork, with a total value of over $1 million.

πŸ’° Real-World Tasks: Everything from small bug fixes to large feature implementations, with associated payouts.
πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» Two Task Types: Coding & Managerial.
🐳 Dockerized: Comes with a unified Docker image for easy setup and consistent evaluation.
πŸ”“ Open-Source: The benchmark data (SWE-Lancer Diamond), Docker image, and evaluation scripts are all open-source.

The idea is to map AI model performance to real-world economic value, for both coding and project management skills. OpenAI's testing shows that even frontier models struggle with many of these tasks.

So, how far are we from the real AI Agent Era?
