RuBench: A Repository-Level Agentic Coding Benchmark with Natively Authored Russian Task Specifications
arXiv:2607.06411v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Developers increasingly delegate real maintenance work to product-grade coding agents, and many state tasks in their native language, in the style of a customer request rather than a curated English issue. Existing repository-level agentic benchmarks do not measure this setting: their task statements are English by design. We introduce RuBench 1.0, a benchmark of 25 tasks mined from recent fix commits in five live open-source repositories (aiohttp, aiogram, Laravel, NestJS, Fastify; Python, PHP, TypeScript, JavaScript), where each task is speci
The increasing delegation of real maintenance work to product-grade coding agents, combined with a growing need for native-language task specifications, drives the development of benchmarks like RuBench.
This benchmark addresses a critical gap in evaluating agentic coding systems' ability to handle real-world, non-English tasks, which is crucial for their broader adoption and effectiveness.
Existing benchmarks, designed for English tasks, are now being supplemented by language-specific ones, enabling more accurate assessment and development of AI agents for diverse linguistic contexts.
