Amazing for its size, but spirals into questionable solutions once it fails something

So, honestly I hope the team creates a version 2 of this or maybe a better iteration. I actually liked this model. The main issue is that when it comes to git usage and submodules it started spiraling on undoing 2 commits to pluck a file out and send out the new changes with a force push.

The task was simple. Just put a file into .gitignore and align the submodule but... it started doing unnecessarily complex mutations not using git commands but literally started mutating the files INSIDE .git which was a massive red flag. because it "needed to fix the indexing"

Things that I loved:

  • Not perfect, but really loved that it went through pivotal thinking on how to solve the issue
  • kept it realistically simple when asked to plan ahead rather than "go in there and fix the issue"
  • analyzed the things I asked without expanding the scope

Project exposed to:

  • Wordpress site with 4 unique plugins

  • PHP language, nodejs, react for gutenberg blocks

  • No quantizations created or used (e.g. compress to q4), used the native safetensors provided with vLLM no additional parameters

Hi, thanks a lot for sharing the detailed feedback. We're really happy to see our 3B model being tested in a real SWE workflow like this. The positive parts you mentioned, such as planning before acting and keeping the scope constrained, are exactly the kind of agent behavior we care about.

At the same time, the .git mutation behavior you described is definitely not what we want. In future iterations, we plan to further improve both the model's final task performance and its intermediate process discipline. In particular, better turn-level filtering in SFT data and stronger process/action-centric rewards during RL are on our roadmap. The goal is not only to make the final result better, but also to make the steps in between safer, cleaner, and aligned with standard engineering practice.

Thanks again for the very useful report. ❤️
