May 21, 2026 Sonar has globally launched the SonarQube Remediation Agent at ATxSummit 2026. I am excited to see our research on AutoCodeRover evolve from an NUS project into a commercial product that automatically fixes and verifies code issues for developers worldwide.
Feb 19, 2026 Sonar Foundation Agent, for which I was one of the two main designers at Sonar, claimed the top spot on the unfiltered SWE-bench leaderboard, scoring 79.2% on SWE-bench Verified and 52.62% on SWE-bench Full. It builds on AutoCodeRover with a more autonomous, test-driven workflow for real-world software issue remediation. [Press Release]
Feb 20, 2025 AutoCodeRover, our startup from NUS, has been acquired by Sonar. [Press Release] [Our Team]
Oct 31, 2024 Our paper SpecRover: Code Intent Extraction via LLMs has been accepted to ICSE’25. SpecRover (aka AutoCodeRover-v2.0) guides an LLM agent with program specifications inferred from multiple sources and is the best-performing open-source agent on SWE-Bench!
Jul 03, 2024 Our paper AutoCodeRover: Autonomous Program Improvement has been accepted to ISSTA’24.
Apr 08, 2024 AutoCodeRover, our autonomous software engineering agent, is released! AutoCodeRover performs program structure-aware code search to efficiently retrieve relevant code context. Check out our arXiv report, source code, website, and tweet for details!
