AI Agent Automatically Codes WITH TOOLS - SWE-Agent Tutorial ('Devin Clone')

SWE-Agent is an open-source, fully autonomous coding agent that can solve GitHub issues. It scores almost as high as Devin in the coding benchmark. Here's a full review and tutorial.

How many coding agents can you handle??

[DailyTuna]

This AI news is becoming so crazy that if you miss three days, it feels like your months behind

[csells]

you don't have to wait for the swe-agent to add support for local LLMs; just log the bug, point swe-agent at it and bob's your uncle.

I’ve been following AI news for years. It’s like a real time ongoing competition right now, where different companies just kept overtaking each other. Super exciting 🎉

Matthew- thanks for covering our work!

[TnotezProdutions]

Think we have been waiting for this for a long time

[robertheinrich]

I guess, the next step is: have the LLM locally, finetuned with the codebase of linux (practically everything), and allow it to access the operating system, config files, etc.
result: you have a computer that can run and modify itself. devs can go further and let SWE fix linux and the applications.
essentially, copilot from microsoft, but it can modify the source code.

Mathew, your channel is a gem. I love how you always take these theoretical concepts and break them down to meaningful items. Not to mention, your tutorials/how-to guides. Simply the best❤

I had used this and other differnt such coding agents after letting them run on my codebase for few hours, and spending 50$ on api charges already it came up with a correct solution, problem is the cost and time it take to complete such task, as a developer i can say until there doesn't comes a cheaper and a faster altearnative, fresher devs are safer. while senior devs still have few month/years until such modes are able to solve 90% of the times

[teamcoton]

Is that finally what we've been waiting for ?

[Alf-Dee]

We now need a comparison video with usecases to better understand which open source agent project is better at what.
Please do it 🙏

[ddddevice]

I installed all your reviews.. !!! my old laptop ask me to die

[SuperJaury]

FYI: Aider is not using ctags anymore but tree-sitter, like Codeium does. Thanks for the video Matthew!

[DaveEtchells]

Can you imagine the kind of coding assistants OpenAI has for their own internal use? It would make sense for them to have a team working on just that, because it would be a force multiplier for all their coders doing anything else.

Given how fast they were moving and the fact that they haven’t released anything significant in a year (IMHO, 4 turbo was just incremental), we’re going to be blown away by whatever they release next. I’m sure some of it will bring a leap forward in code generation.

[michamohe]

I'd like to see this in a multi-agent framework. I'd think it would improve the success rate exponentially

SmythOS simplifies automated coding! Anyone trying to optimize their coding procedures has to have it. #SmythOS #Automation #AIAgent #Coding

Great to see a built-in 'cost limit' - for the first time, that brings the obfuscated topic of time and money a little bit out of the darkness. As all these Devins succeed in less than 15% according to the SWE benchmark, what happens with the other more than 85%? Do the Devins endlessly generate tokens and costs until interrupted by the supervising human (or a cost limit)? And even in the successful cases: how much time and tokens (=energy =costs even with local LLMs) does a task take for real? I'd really appreciate to see a comparison. Thank you, Matthew!

just found your a 50 something trying to get back in the game....learning python...last language was Fortran...ouch. love your content and style...if you were in my shoes, what 10 pieces of your content would you watch in order to automate my life and existing businesses/side hustles?

[VTCEnglish]

Among Devika, OpenDevin and SWE which one do you prefer?

[marilynlucas]

Giving an LLM its own ide is the future. This is why I predicted to several coding youtubers that in 5 years no human will be interacting with an ide.
