What it is

Kodezi Chronos is a debugging-first language model (LLM) designed specifically for repository-scale code understanding and automated software engineering tasks. It achieves 80.33% on SWE-bench Lite and 67% autonomous debugging accuracy—over 6× better than GPT-4—using Adaptive Graph-Guided Retrieval (AGR) and a Persistent Debug Memory system to locate and fix bugs across large codebases. This repository contains the research paper, comprehensive benchmarks, evaluation frameworks, and architectural documentation; the actual model weights are proprietary and available through Kodezi OS (Q1 2026). Monorepo structure: benchmarks/ contains the evaluation suite split into…

Start here

Open these first:

• README.md — Primary project overview and value proposition for Chronos as a debugging-first LLM achieving 80.33% on SWE-bench Lite.
• architecture/chronos_2025_architecture.md — Core architectural documentation describing the system design, Adaptive Graph-Guided Retrieval (AGR), and memory engine.
• architecture/AGR_ALGORITHM.md — Technical specification of the Adaptive Graph-Guided Retrieval algorithm, the primary differentiation mechanism.
• benchmarks/mrr_full_benchmark/README.md — Entry point for benchmark suite explaining evaluation methodology and performance metrics across bug categories.
• QUICK_START.md — Developer onboarding guide for setting up and using Chronos locally or via waitlist.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone and explore the repository (no special setup needed for reading):

git clone https://github.com/Kodezi/Chronos.git
cd Chronos

No runtime dependencies are inferred from the file list (no package.json, requirements.txt, pom.xml, or build.gradle visible). To run benchmarks, verify dependencies by inspecting `benchmarks/comprehensive_benchmarks/ru…

Daily commands:

No single 'dev server' exists—this is a documentation and benchmarking suite. To run benchmarks (inferred from file structure):

cd benchmarks/comprehensive_benchmarks
python run_all_benchmarks.py

Or individual benchmark categories:

python retrieval_benchmarks.py
python debugging_benchmarks.py
python multi_language_benchmarks.py

To reproduce SWE-bench Lite evaluation, see benchmarks/evaluate_2025.py and benchmarks/comparison_framework/how_to_evaluate.md. The Makefile is present but its targets are not visible in repository_data; verify it f…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Slowing — last commit 10mo ago
• Solo or near-solo (1 contributor active in recent commits)
• Scorecard: default branch unprotected (0/10)
• (1) Model is not in this repository: This is a research documentation and benchmarking suite only. The actual Chronos model is proprietary, available Q1 2026 via Kodezi OS, and not runnable locally from this repo.…
• Repository-tree evidence was truncated; absence claims may be incomplete.
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.

Evidence note

Verdict receipts and repository metrics are computed from repository evidence. Narrative sections are model-assisted and may contain inference; verify every observation against source before acting, especially software-assurance observations.
