haha honestly a little bit ya. One key thing we've learned from working on this is that lowering the barrier to working in parallel is key. Making it easy to merge, context switching, etc are all important as you try to parallelize things. I'm pretty excited about "pairing mode" for this reason as it mirrors an agents branch locally so you can make your own edits quickly and test changes.

We've also shipped "suggestions" under beta (think CI pipelines for your parallel agents) which might feel a little different. The idea is to use LLMs and your regular coding tools (pytest, pyre, ...) to verify that the code produced by the agents is actually correct.

Member of the team here, happy to answer questions. Took a lot of ups, downs and work to get here but excited to finally get this out. Even more excited to share other features we've been cooking behind the scenes. Give it a try and let us know what you think, we're hungry for feedback.

Glad this work is happening! That said, HumanEval as the current gold standard for benchmarking models is a crime. The dataset itself is tiny (around 150) examples and all the problems themselves aren’t really indicative of actual software engineering problems. Also, we’ve been able to get around 85% pass@1 on GPT-4 internally as of a couple weeks ago. It’s hard to say if they’ve contaminated the models with RLHF though. It still is exciting how close we’re getting with open source models but we’ve still got a decent amount of work to go!
