Key point

The free beta tool compiles repositories into a queryable map to reduce source code reading by 2-6x compared to mainstream agents.

Details

  • Benzi is a new, free coding agent that compiles repositories into a resolved, queryable map of symbols, calls, and data flow before the model begins work.
  • The agent achieves an 82.4% score on SWE-bench Verified for a cost of less than $13, claiming to be approximately 2x faster and cheaper than mainstream agents while reading 2-6x less source code.
  • It provides deterministic tools for querying code structure (e.g., call graphs, value origins, edit impact) and tracks three truth tiers: RESOLVED, CANDIDATE, and OBSERVED.
  • The tool supports Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C#, C++, C, Go, Rust, and Ruby, operates locally, is model-agnostic, and is available for free during its beta phase.
