The biggest challenge for formats like this is usually tooling. JSON won largely because: every language supports it, every tool understands it. Even a technically superior format struggles without that ecosystem.

Once you run more than one agent in a loop, you inevitably recreate distributed systems problems: message ordering, retries, partial failure, etc. Most agent frameworks pretend these don’t exist. Some of them address those problems partiall

Would be interesting to see alternative scoring besides “tests pass”, e.g. diff size, abstraction depth added/removed, or whether the solution introduces new modules/dependencies. That would allow to see if “unmergeable” PRs corre

It’d be interesting to see this compared against a human baseline — e.g., a competent engineer with a fixed time budget on the same tasks.

If both sides refactor the same function into multiple smaller ones (extract method) or rename it, can Weave detect that as a structural refactor, or does it become “delete + add”? Any heuristics beyond name matching?

One thing that seems under-discussed in this space is the shift from verifying programs to verifying generation processes. If a piece of code is produced by an agent loop (prompt -> tool calls -> edits -> tests), the real artifact

With packages like this (lots of cores, multi-chip packaging, lots of memory channels), the architecture is increasingly a small cluster on a package rather than a monolithic CPU. I wonder whether the next bottleneck becomes software schedu

That’s fair - strict determinism isn’t possible in the traditional sense. I was thinking more along the lines of bounded reproducibility. If the model, parameters, system prompt, and toolchain are pinned, you might not get identical output,

I noticed in the README that each commit message includes the agent and model, which is a nice start toward reproducibility. I’m wondering how deep you plan to go on environment pinning beyond that. Is the system prompt / agent configu
