MindForge: Teaching Small Language Models Whole-Life-Cycle Software Engineering via Source-Free Program Synthesis
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read

- What happened
- MindForge trains smaller language models on complete software engineering tasks by converting open-source programs into source-free training environments with only compiled executables and documentation.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building coding agents or deploying language models where model size and inference cost constrain feasibility in production systems.
- Watch out
- Results show gains on benchmarks but real-world applicability to proprietary codebases with different architectures and dependencies remains undemonstrated.
