Could you build this?
Partial A web interface for displaying benchmark results is trivial, but sourcing, sanitizing, and sandboxing realistic engineering environments from proprietary commercial codebases requires specialized access and tooling.
What it would actually take: Building Real-SWE requires automated pipeline orchestration using Docker/Kubernetes to reliably reproduce complex legacy microservice architectures, build chains, and test suites across private enterprise repositories. Sourcing requires bilateral legal agreements with enterprise software companies and rigorous data scrubbing/anonymization workflows to protect IP. The execution engine must provide strict multi-tenant isolation and deterministic evaluation metrics for agentic code edits across diverse languages.
