I wanted to find the actual change performed by these agents so I watched the embedded video. I can not believe what I saw.

The video shows a private fork of a pubic repository. The bug is real, but it was resolved in February 2023 and doesn’t seem like the solution was automated [1]

The bug has a stack trace attached with a big arrow pointing to line 223 of a backend_compat.py file. A quick grasp on this stack trace and you already know what happened and why, and how to fix this, but…

not for the agent. It seems to analyze the repository in multiple steps and tries to locate the class. Why did they even release this video?
