Researchers have introduced MirrorCode, a new benchmark designed to evaluate AI's ability to reconstruct entire software projects solely from observed behavior, without access to the original source code. This benchmark features 25 diverse target programs, including Unix utilities and bioinformatics tools, requiring AI agents to precisely match the original program's output on various tests. Current AI models can already achieve 56% accuracy on MirrorCode, demonstrating their capability in long-horizon software engineering tasks, such as reimplementing a 16,000-line bioinformatics toolkit called gotree. The development of MirrorCode suggests that AI will significantly transform software engineering as autonomous agents continue to advance. AI
