๐Ÿš€New Amazon Q Developer agent for software development is available to customers: aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/โ€ฆ This agent is based on a new agent architecture that has exciting results coming from the SWE-bench scores (on the full and verified benchmarks) representing AI modelsโ€™ ability to resolve real-world coding problems. Interesting aspect of Q Agent is that with these newest updates, Q drove nearly 50% more successful coding tasks completed. What makes Q Dev Agent remarkable? The agent architecture is not just about using the best LLMs (which we do), but also giving the agent the ability to constantly explore multiple paths to find the best way to resolve a particular problem (and back tracking when it has reached dead end like a developer would do). Needless to say, we are just getting started on the developer agent and we are constantly pushing to advance our AI capabilities while maintaining quality, security, privacy, and reliability to keep Amazon Q Developer an innovative and trusted option available to our customers using agents for software development. We highlighted the results of our first SWE-bench submission of Amazon Q Developer back in June blog post; with these updates, our new agent resolves 51% more coding tasks than its previous iteration on the SWE-bench verified dataset, and 43% more on the full dataset. Thatโ€™s the difference a few months make, and I canโ€™t wait to share what our teams will deliver at re:Invent this December. Here's a quick demo showcasing our new Agent in action:
