MirrorCode Benchmark Shows AI Can Autonomously Build 16,000-Line Codebases

Epoch AI and METR published MirrorCode, a benchmark measuring how large a software project an AI agent can autonomously reimplement without access to the original source code. Tasks in the benchmark ran for up to 19 days and cost up to $2,600 per attempt. Claude Opus 4.7 successfully completed the benchmark's largest evaluated task, reimplementing a 16,000-line bioinformatics toolkit in 14 hours.
