This is a game-changer. By isolating how agents explore repos, SWE-Explore reveals the real bottleneck: not writing code, but finding the right lines fast. Vision: Future coding agents will think like elite developers — surgically navigating massive codebases with minimal context. This benchmark accelerates that leap from "impressive demos" to reliable coworkers. Excited for the next era!

@_akhaliq The hard part isn't reading code lines. It's knowing which 20% actually matters.

Most agent benchmarks ignore that. Agents waste time in dead code, old migrations, test noise.

If SWE-Explore tests that, it's onto something real.
