$DeepSWE: A Contamination-Resistant Coding Benchmark — James Shi, Datacurve DeepSWE is 113 software engineering tasks written from scratch, not scraped from pull requests, so a model cannot have seen them in training. Each one is a long horizon problem drawn from a real open source repository, authored by engineers who actually maintain that code, with isolated environments and program based verifiers that check observable behavior rather than trusting the models own account. James Shis point is that once you remove the contamination the leaderboard stops clustering: strong models pull far ahead and others, Gemini 3.1 Pro among them, fall toward the bottom. The more revealing signal is in how models fail. Some quietly expand a task beyond what was asked, a failure mode DeepSWE scores in its own right, and Claude models did this a good fraction of the time while GPT models did it less often. Stronger models also tend not to verify their own work, and there is a real gap between the ones that test what they wrote and the ones that assume it is correct. Since reward hacking is a constant temptation, the verifiers are built to be gamed as little as possible, keeping the score anchored to the objective rather than to a convincing looking rollout.
