Aide

Aide is an AI developer tools lab exploring inference-time scaling and agentic systems.

Aide is a developer tools lab exploring how inference-time scaling and agentic systems can reshape the way software is written, debugged, and maintained. It focuses on scaling test-time inference using Sonnet 3.5 to achieve state-of-the-art results. The lab demonstrates that general methods using increased computation succeed in software tasks. It builds agentic systems designed for software engineering workflows. The approach highlights the impact of inference-time scaling on issue resolution.
