🚀 Multi-SWE-bench: A Multilingual Benchmark for Issue Resolving
We are extremely delighted to release Multi-SWE-bench! Multi-SWE-bench addresses the lack of multilingual benchmarks for evaluating LLMs in real-world code issue resolution. Unlike existing Python-centric benchmarks (e.g., SWE-bench), our framework spans 7 languages (i.e., Java, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Rust, C, and C++) with 1,632 high-quality instances, curated from 2,456 candidates by 68 expert annotators for reliability.
We aim to accelerate progress in automated issue resolution and RL, bridging the gap toward AGI. Let's join the Multi-SWE-RL community to expand datasets, tools, and research collaboration!
📢 News
[2025/09/19] 🎉 Multi-SWE-bench has been accepted to the NeurIPS 2025 Datasets and Benchmarks track!
[2025/09/18] 🔧 We have added a hints field to all instances in Multi-SWE-bench, describing the newly defined variables in test.patch and fix.patch, making the tasks more complete. Please feel free to use it!
[2025/07/15] 🔥 We are excited to announce the release of Multi-SWE-bench flash! This collection features 300 carefully selected multilingual evaluation instances, designed for rapid evaluation and efficient agent rollouts.
[2025/04/15]🔥We released Multi-SWE-bench mini! A lightweight version of the full benchmark — 400 instances in total, covering 8 languages, designed to reduce compute cost and make evaluation faster and easier.
[2025/04/03]🔥We released Multi-SWE-bench and Multi-SWE-RL.
⚡ Features
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Evaluating nine powerful models (GPT-4o, OpenAI-o1, OpenAI-o3-mini-high, Claude-3.5-Sonnet, Claude-3.7-Sonnet, DeepSeek-V3, DeepSeek-R1, Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct, and Doubao-1.5-Pro) across three agent frameworks (Agentless, SWE-agent, OpenHands), yielding several valuable insights.
- Multi-SWE-RL Community: Open-source initiative for large-scale RL datasets. Initial release includes 4723 instances to advance RL research.
- Fully Open Source Data, Code, and Environment: All data, code, and container images are publicly released, along with detailed tutorials, to foster community contributions and enable scalable extension.
🚀 Set Up
Multi-SWE-bench uses Docker for reproducible evaluations. Follow the instructions in the Docker setup guide to install Docker on your machine. If you're setting up on Linux, we recommend seeing the post-installation steps as well.
Finally, to build Multi-SWE-bench from source, follow these steps:
git clone git@github.com:multi-swe-bench/multi-swe-bench.git
cd multi-swe-bench
make install
Development Setup
For development, install with dev dependencies and set up pre-commit hooks:
make install-dev
📊 Evaluation
Run Evaluation
To run the evaluation, you need to prepare the following:
-
Patch Files: Some patch files in JSONL format, each item containing:
org: Organization Namerepo: Repository Namenumber: Pull Request Numberfix_patch: Fix Patch Content
Example:
{ "org": "zeromicro", "repo": "go-zero", "number": "2787", "fix_patch": "diff --git ...." }
-
Dataset Files: Dataset files in JSONL format available on Hugging Face, such as Multi-SWE-bench or Multi-SWE-RL
-
(Optional) Docker Images: You can download required Docker images using
scripts/download_images.ps1(for Windows) orscripts/download_images.sh(for Linux/macOS) with either mini and verified images, or RL images:# For Windows .\scripts\download_images.ps1 scripts\images_mini.txt # For mini images .\scripts\download_images.ps1 scripts\images_verified.txt # For verified images .\scripts\download_images.ps1 scripts\images_rl.txt # For RL images # For Linux/macOS bash scripts/download_images.sh scripts/images_mini.txt # For mini images bash scripts/download_images.sh scripts/images_verified.txt # For verified images bash scripts/download_images.sh scripts/images_rl.txt # For RL images
This step is optional. If images don't exist locally, they will be built during evaluation.
Then you can run the evaluation using the following command:
python -m multi_swe_bench.harness.run_evaluation --config /path/to/your/config.json
The evaluation process will generate a final_report.json file in your specified output_dir, which provides a summary of results including resolved_instances, unresolved_instances, and other metrics. For detailed information about failed instances and specific error reasons, you can check the log files in the log_dir directory.
Configuration File Example
{
"mode": "evaluation",
"workdir": "./data/workdir",
"patch_files": [
"./data/patches/<your_patch_file>.jsonl"
],
"dataset_files": [
"./data/patches/<to_evaluate_dataset_file>.jsonl"
],
"force_build": false,
"output_dir": "./data/dataset",
"specifics": [],
"skips": [],
"repo_dir": "./data/repos",
"need_clone": false,
"global_env": [],
"clear_env": true,
"stop_on_error": true,
"max_workers": 8,
"max_workers_build_image": 8,
"max_workers_run_instance": 8,
"log_dir": "./data/logs",
"log_level": "DEBUG"
}
Note, if there are issues when applying the above config file with git apply, you can add the following item. This will replace git apply with patch --batch, which can increase the success rate of applying patches:
{
"fix_patch_run_cmd": "bash -c \"apt update && apt install -y patch && sed -i 's@git apply /home/test.patch /home/fix.patch@patch --batch --fuzz=5 -p1 -i /home/test.patch;patch --batch --fuzz=5 -p1 -i /home/fix.patch@g' /home/fix-run.sh && bash /home/fix-run.sh\""
}
