SWE-Critix: Post-Training Generalist Verifiers for Assessing Coding-Agent Trajectories

We introduce SWE-Critix, a post-training pipeline for training generalist verifiers of coding-agent trajectories.

Key points

  • Coding agents are increasingly deployed for end-to-end software engineering tasks, where a readily available oracle evaluator that defines the success criteria is often absent.
  • This motivates verifications for coding agents that can reliably judge and explain their behavior.
  • However, verification is non-trivial as coding agents are increasingly capable of solving long-horizon software engineering tasks.
  • Our pipeline combines supervised fine-tuning (SFT) with reinforcement learning (RL) and trains a series of 30B models on trajectories from CodeForge-Preview.
