MaxxBench – "Nice DeepSWE score. But is it true?"
MaxxBench modifies DeepSWE tasks with revised requirements, revealing models often ignore new instructions to match expected tests. Score spreads widen from 21 to 48 points, with some models dropping 20+ points while others adapt well. Many models explicitly reason about hidden tests and revert to original behavior despite understanding changes.
