  • Built a reproducibility harness for LLM-powered systems that combines execution stabilization with record/replay, achieving exact replay across 4 workloads, 6 open-weight LLMs, vLLM and llama.cpp, and A100/H100/H200 GPUs. Default runs reproduced only 58–64% of SWE-agent trajectories exactly.
  • Identified 11 sources of non-determinism across the LLM execution stack, 3 of them previously undocumented.
  • Developing a process-aware framework for assessing benchmark consistency of LLM-powered software engineering agents (early stage).
  • Exploratory study of cost and failure modes of SWE-bench agents, including a prototype early-stopping technique.
