# Coding agents

Agents that read, write, and fix code.

What SWE-bench and similar benchmarks measure. How coding agents plan and repair a change across a whole repository. What a team needs before it can trust the result in production code.

### [Cloud sandboxes for coding agents](https://oxagen.sh/blog/cloud-sandboxes-for-coding-agents)

A coding agent on a laptop stops when the lid closes or the plan's usage limit hits. Oxagen runs it in a sandbox on your Modal account, with every linked repository and a terminal that pauses it.

### [Model credentials that follow the person](https://oxagen.sh/blog/model-credentials-that-follow-the-person)

A key saved once serves every organization you work in. A run moves to your next saved login when one runs out, and a refused login asks for a new sign-in on your own machine.

### [Steering drafted from corrections](https://oxagen.sh/blog/steering-drafted-from-corrections)

Oxagen now drafts steering from what people correct mid-run, reads refusals and failing tools across runs each night, and serves steering only to the agents it wraps.

### [Agents are waiting on a process built for people](https://oxagen.sh/blog/agents-are-waiting-on-a-process-built-for-people)

An agent can write a change in minutes. Then the change waits for a person to read it. This post measures that wait, what eight companies changed about it, and how Oxagen ships at every hour.

A coding agent changed your code and no one can replay how. What the research says about feedback from running code, random sampling, and turns you can audit.

### [What SWE-bench Measures, and What It Misses](https://oxagen.sh/blog/what-swe-bench-measures-and-what-it-misses)

Coding agents are ranked by their SWE-bench resolve rate. This post covers what that rate shows, where test-based grading goes wrong, and what the rate cannot tell you.

### [Why agents fail: measuring reliability and cost](https://oxagen.sh/blog/why-agents-fail-measuring-reliability-and-cost)

AgentBench, WebArena, GAIA, SWE-bench, and tau-bench each measure a different thing. None of them reports what a run costs. This post covers what that hides.
