Benzi

A locally running, language-agnostic and model-agnostic code intelligence system. Benzi combines a compiler, harness, and runtime tracer/debugger built from the ground up so AI models can write code as neatly as they understand it, and provides instant call-flow, data-flow, and control-flow lookups on any codebase for any AI model. It scores 78.2% on SWE-bench Verified for under 10 cents per fix and is benchmarked against Claude Code, Open Code, and Deepseek Harness, where it is claimed to be cheaper and faster.

01 / The problem

What it addresses

AI coding agents/harnesses are expensive and slow; Benzi fixes code for under 10 cents per SWE-bench fix while being cheaper and faster than Claude Code, Open Code, and Deepseek Harness.

    “I made a code intelligence system from scratch! language agnostic and model agnostic. runs locally. Benzi is a compiler+harness+runtime tracer/debugger built from ground up to write code as neatly as it understands it.”
