RepoLaunch: Automating Build and Management of Code Repositories across Languages and Platforms

Language model (LM) agents have driven substantial progress in automated software engineering (SWE), yet building and testing software repositories at scale remains a largely manual and labor-intensive bottleneck. In this work, we introduce RepoLaunch, a novel agentic framework that automatically resolves dependencies, compiles source code, and extracts test results across diverse programming languages and operating systems. RepoLaunch achieves a 78% build success rate, outperforming the Python/Linux-only prior system by 18%. To demonstrate its application, we further present a fully automated pipeline for SWE dataset creation driven by RepoLaunch, which only requires human input at the task-design stage. RepoLaunch is open-sourced, and its automated task-generation pipeline has already been adopted by several recent works on agentic benchmarking and training.

ORACLE-SWE: Quantifying the Contribution of Oracle Information Signals on SWE Agents

Recent advances in language model (LM) agents have significantly improved automated software engineering (SWE). Prior work has proposed various agentic workflows and training strategies as well as analyzed failure modes of agentic systems on SWE tasks, focusing on several contextual information signals: Reproduction Test, Regression Test, Edit Location, Execution Context, and API Usage. However, the individual contribution of each signal to overall success remains underexplored, particularly their ideal contribution when intermediate information is perfectly obtained. To address this gap, we introduce Oracle-SWE, a unified method to isolate and extract oracle information signals from SWE benchmarks and quantify the impact of each signal on agent performance. To further validate the pattern, we evaluate the performance gain of signals extracted by strong LMs when provided to a base agent, approximating real-world task-resolution settings. These evaluations aim to guide research prioritization for autonomous coding systems.

Towards Robust LLM Post-Training: Automatic Failure Management for Reinforcement Fine-Tuning

Reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) has become a core paradigm for post-training large language models, yet its training process remains highly fragile. Existing efforts mainly improve reliability at the system level or address specific issues in individual subproblems by modifying RFT algorithms. Despite their effectiveness, they largely overlook the problem of failure management at the training-process level. When training goes wrong, practitioners still rely heavily on expert-driven manual inspection and correction, and automatic failure management for RFT remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we take a first step toward systematic failure management for reinforcement fine-tuning. To understand the empirical structure of RFT failures, we first construct RFT-FaultBench, the first benchmark for fine-grained failures in reinforcement fine-tuning, covering 5 fault families, 16 fault types, 779 training runs, 22,549 train-step records, and 1,457,288 trajectory-level records. Based on this benchmark, we conduct a comprehensive empirical study showing that RFT failures are both observable from training dynamics and distinguishable through their empirical fault fingerprints. Building on these findings, we propose RFT-FM, an automatic failure management framework for reinforcement fine-tuning that unifies anomaly detection, failure diagnosis, and auto remediation in a closed loop. Experimental results show that RFT-FaultBench is neither trivial nor saturated: it exhibits clear anomaly structure while still posing substantial challenges, especially under subtle fault settings. Moreover, RFT-FM shows strong capability in detecting, diagnosing, and mitigating RFT failures.

AgentFM: Role-Aware Failure Management for Distributed Databases with LLM-Driven Multi-Agents

Distributed databases are critical infrastructures for today's large-scale software systems, making effective failure management essential to ensure software availability. However, existing approaches often overlook the role distinctions within distributed databases and rely on small-scale models with limited generalization capabilities. In this paper, we conduct a preliminary empirical study to emphasize the unique significance of different roles. Building on this insight, we propose AgentFM, a role-aware failure management framework for distributed databases powered by LLM-driven multi-agents. AgentFM addresses failure management by considering system roles, data roles, and task roles, with a meta-agent orchestrating these components. Preliminary evaluations using Apache IoTDB demonstrate the effectiveness of AgentFM and open new directions for further research.
