Benjamin Marie(@bnjmn_marie):Qwen3.8 27B: mini swe agent vs Claude Code vs Pi What I learned With enough iterations, boosting scores on agentic coding benchmarks is relatively easy. On DeepSWE 1.1, Qwen3.8 scores poorly with vanilla Pi. But a benchmaxxed Pi setup beats (Reward) the Qwen team’s published result using Claude Code. Also: experiments with thinking low show that it spends more tokens, more turns, and score lower than medium. Full details, including an ablation study and token-efficiency analysis:
