SRE-Bench: Agentic Reverse Engineering Benchmark

A Columbia University-hosted benchmark that tests AI agents on reverse engineering complex binary software. The page reports results from evaluations run with OpenAI, stating that GPT-6 Astra solves nearly all tasks while other evaluated models stay below 60%, and describes pilot evaluations of harder settings.

Evaluates open-weight and proprietary AI models on exploit generation, vulnerability repair and subsequent attacks in five nonpublic software environments, using researcher-developed deterministic graders rather than LLM judges. Repair scores exceed attack scores in two environments and fall below them in three. Preprint, not yet peer-reviewed.
