- Evaluate frontier LLMs and coding agents on complex software-engineering tasks spanning multi-step reasoning, code generation, debugging, tool use, and autonomous problem solving
- Run blinded side-by-side model comparisons under identical task conditions, scoring correctness, reasoning quality, code quality, instruction-following, and task completion
- Execute evaluations through structured benchmark harnesses and Docker-based environments, validating generated code with automated tests, pytest, Git diffs, source inspection, and runtime behavior
- Design coding evaluation tasks, scoring rubrics, evaluation criteria, and reproducible test cases that expose failure modes; perform systematic failure-mode and regression analysis across model trajectories
- Assess multi-turn agentic workflows — how coding agents plan, modify repositories, run tests, recover from failures, and respond to controlled follow-up prompts
