ExecCritic: Learn to Test, Test to Improve for Coding Agents

ExecCritic separates test generation from patching for coding agents, lifting SWE-bench Verified resolution to 72.6%.

ExecCritic pairs a test-verify-revise scaffold with role-specific reinforcement learning: a Test agent writes repository-native tests and a Repair agent fixes code from execution feedback, both using Qwen-3.5-35B-A3B backbones. Post-trained Qwen agents compose to 72.6% on SWE-bench Verified, an 11.4-point gain over the 61.2% no-test baseline, without stronger-model or oracle feedback at evaluation time. The work shows test quality is the key variable: base-agent tests lowered resolution to 57.3% while GPT-5.6-sol tests raised it to 65.3%.

microsoft/VibeVoice-ASR-Streaming-7B — new model trending #27 on Hugging Face

Microsoft released VibeVoice-ASR-Streaming-7B, an open streaming ASR model with speaker attribution, custom hotwords, and support for 10 languages under MIT license.

Microsoft Research released VibeVoice-ASR-Streaming-7B on Hugging Face, a unified streaming speech recognition model that continuously transcribes who said what as speech arrives. The 7B model supports customized hotwords for domain-specific terms and 10 languages including Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. Code is available at github.com/microsoft/VibeVoice with a live demo, and a technical report is on arXiv (2609.02812). The model is licensed under MIT.
