In their words

  • “Claude Fable 5.1 now tops the Senior SWE-Bench leaderboard, edging out Fable 5 on the pass^3 tie-breaker (more consistently shipping quality code).”Discussing AI model performance on a benchmark. · Sep 1, 2026
    X
  • “At higher effort tiers, we noticed that Fable 5.1 tends to over-engineer on Senior SWE-Bench tasks. For example on turborepo-feat-add-circular-package, Medium correctly uses petgraph's Tarjan SCC method whereas High hand-rolls its own 366-line implementation.”Analyzing AI model behavior and efficiency on coding tasks. · Sep 1, 2026

  • “We expect agents to act like senior engineers, but most benchmarks still evaluate them like interns.”Introducing a new benchmark for AI agents. · Jul 1, 2026
    X
  • “We expect agents to build real features going on just a quick Slack message, nothing like the super technical instructions most benchmarks provide. Senior SWE-Bench fixes that.”Explaining the purpose and design of Senior SWE-Bench. · Jul 1, 2026

  • “One last thought: we hate slop tasks. They burn compute and don’t actually measure anything. Every Senior SWE-Bench task has gone through multi-stage design, refinement, and review.”Emphasizing the quality and rigor of Senior SWE-Bench tasks. · Jul 1, 2026
    X
  • “There is asymmetric power in defining how we measure progress. You can move the field of AI ($Ts) with a small team of smart people and a concentrated investment ($Ks). ImageNet, MMLU, and SWE-Bench all did it. Let's close the evaluation gap.”Discussing the impact of benchmarks on AI progress. · Feb 11, 2026

  • “Our customers who are training with the scaled dataset are seeing larger perf lifts and transfer than I was expecting.”Discussing the effectiveness of a dataset for training AI models. · Jan 9, 2026
