Introducing sudo L7: Can Coding Agents Act Like Staff Engineers?
Coding agents are getting very good at solving well-defined problems. But staff engineers do much more than write correct code.
They understand unfamiliar systems, make architectural decisions, spot risks the ticket never mentioned, and know when passing the tests isn't enough.
sudo L7 measures that judgment.
Our new software engineering benchmark contains 60 expert-authored tasks, primarily in private production codebases from real companies, complete with legacy code, technical debt, and messy dependencies.
We evaluate eight dimensions of engineering behavior, from functional correctness and engineering craft to practical judgment, thought partnership, and knowing when to push back.
The best-performing agents score under ~45%.
Coding is only part of the job. See you next cycle.

Using @MistralAI Large 4 for EU legal stuff is actually genuinely good, I'm impressed.
Got curious after seeing the Micro Centers in the US running out of DGX Sparks, I can find and buy at least 120 shown in stock in just Dutch stores. Really strange how Europe seems to have so much more Sparks available than the US. They are around 7.5k USD incl. VAT though.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash might fix on 2x Spark at NVFP4/EXL3 if you offload the new engram / n-gram lookup table to disc? Don’t know at what context though.. curious to see what people like @MiaAI_lab come up with
Paseo is great for getting a nice UI and easy remote control for Pi + other harnesses btw, really enjoy using it. Open source too!
GLM 5.3 Flash on Medium Thinking with Pi is genuinely so good. Only suboptimal part is that it's noticeably slower than other options running on 2x DGX Spark. Great work @Zai_org!
