Augment Code debuts AI agent with 70% win rate over GitHub Copilot and record-breaking SWE-bench score


Augment Code launches AI technology that outperforms GitHub Copilot by 70% through real-time context understanding of massive codebases, securing $270M funding and achieving the highest score on SWE-bench verified.

“What we targeted instead is the software engineering discipline of maintaining big, complex systems — databases, networking stacks, storage — codebases that have evolved over many years with hundreds of developers working on them collaboratively.” Unlike some competitors that implement these integrations on the client side, Augment handles these connections in the cloud, making them “easily shareable and consistent across a larger team,” according to Dietzen. As organizations wrestle with maintaining and evolving complex software systems, tools that understand the nuances of large codebases may find a receptive audience among technical leaders seeking to maximize the impact of their engineering teams.
