Solve 2x More Issues, 4.8x Less Cost Per Fix
Sponsored by AgentField
Ten coding harnesses ran the same open model on 113 real GitHub issues from DeepSWE. CodeAF ranked #1, ahead of Codex and Pi, and solved 2x more than OpenCode at 4.8x lower cost per fix. CodeAF is an open-source coding harness built for open models like DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM and Kimi, and works with closed models too. One Go binary, Apache 2.0.
