Debug-Gym

Sundar Pichai says 25% of Google’s new code comes from AI. Debug-Gym is an open-source environment where AI agents are given sandboxed Docker containers for safety and realistic execution.

Debug-gym provides a structured Python-based environment where AI agents can:

• Access debugging tools through a controlled interface.
• Employ debugging commands similar to Python's pdb (Python Debugger).
• Examine runtime behavior (e.g., variable values, stack frames).
• Refine their approach through active exploration.
• Set breakpoints, navigate code, and create test functions.

In recent AI world, it provides the below benefits:

• Allows for the assessment of AI agent reasoning strategies in complex debugging scenarios.
• Provides a platform to train AI models to learn from interaction histories and structured sequences of debugging actions.
• Offers a way to measure agent capabilities in dynamic code repair.
• Supports the development of agents that can systematically reason through bugs using external tools.
