📰 News

🧭 [2026-05-01] OpenRouter model selector, session cleanup & workflow UX hardening

• 🧠 OpenRouter model catalog in Settings. The new UI can now fetch OpenRouter model metadata from https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/models, cache it locally, and expose searchable model selectors for the Default, Planning, and Implementation phases. Use exact OpenRouter model ids such as z-ai/glm-5.1 without editing JSON by hand.
• 🔄 Runtime model switching. Saving model choices from Settings updates deepcode_config.json and reloads the in-process LLM runtime so newly started workflows pick up the selected provider/model combination immediately.
• 🗑️ Session deletion now performs safe cascade cleanup. Deleting a session from the UI removes its persistent session store and associated deepcode_lab/tasks/<task_id>/ workspaces, while preserving shared uploads/ source files. Sessions with pending, running, or waiting_for_input tasks are blocked with a clear 409 Conflict.
• 📊 More accurate Paper2Code progress. The frontend now shows backend stage messages and avoids marking intermediate phases as fully "Done" while long LLM work is still running.
• 🛡️ Workflow robustness fixes. Uploads now reject Git LFS pointer files, cancelled tasks stop backend work promptly, stale browser session ids recover cleanly, planner retries fall back to a minimal valid plan when a model defers/tool-calls incorrectly, and document segmentation skips an extra validation LLM call that could stall progress.

🗂️ [2026-04-28] Persistent sessions & dual-layer logging

• 🆕 Sessions are now persistent. Every CLI / UI run is automatically attached to a session under ~/.deepcode/sessions/<id>/ (override with DEEPCODE_SESSIONS_DIR). Sessions are JSONL — tail -f session.jsonl works out of the box. List / inspect / branch them with python cli/main_cli.py session list|show <id>|new|resume <id>|delete <id>, or via GET /api/v1/sessions from the backend.
• 🔄 Resume a previous run by passing --session <id> to the CLI or session_id to POST /api/v1/workflows/paper-to-code (or chat-planning). Backend restarts no longer drop task history; running tasks left over from a crash are surfaced as interrupted.
• 💻 CLI session UX. The interactive CLI now supports Cursor-style slash commands: /resume opens a numbered session picker, /new [title] creates and switches sessions, /session shows the active session, and /help lists commands. You can also paste inline inputs directly at the menu prompt with @/path/to/paper.pdf, @"C:\path with spaces\paper.pdf", or @https://....
• 📜 Two-layer structured logging. A global rotating JSONL lives at logs/server-YYYYMMDD.jsonl; per-task logs at deepcode_lab/tasks/<task_id>/logs/{system,llm,mcp}.jsonl. Every loguru.logger call automatically picks up the active task_id via a contextvar — business code did not have to change. Configure via the new logger.{globalFile,taskFile,llm} block in deepcode_config.json.
• 📡 WebSocket log streaming. Tail one task with /ws/tasks/{task_id}/logs?channel=llm, or merge every task in a session via /ws/sessions/{session_id}/logs. The legacy /ws/logs/{session_id} endpoint that silently ignored its parameter has been removed.
• 🧹 Dead code removed. utils/simple_llm_logger.py, utils/dialogue_logger.py, and the in-memory services/session_service.py implementation are gone (the latter is now a thin re-export of core.sessions.SessionStore).

🛠️ [2026-04-17] Stability, Windows compatibility & secrets hygiene update

• 🐛 Code Implementation no longer crashes with name 'LoopDetector' is not defined — added the missing LoopDetector/ProgressTracker imports in both workflows/code_implementation_workflow.py and workflows/code_implementation_workflow_index.py.
• 🪟 Windows: mkdir -p / touch / rm -rf / cp -r / mv now work natively. tools/command_executor.py translates these common Unix file-tree commands via pathlib/shutil on every platform, eliminating the bug where cmd.exe would create a literal -p directory and stall the workflow.
• 🚀 Removed Brave Search end-to-end. All Python code, MCP server config, Dockerfile pre-installs, nanobot integration and docs are scrubbed of brave/BRAVE_API_KEY/WebSearchTool. Web fetching now relies entirely on the built-in fetch MCP server.
• 🔌 OpenAI-compatible providers documented. New Quick Start → Configuration snippet shows how to point the openai/openrouter blocks at Poe (https://api.poe.com/v1), OpenRouter, or Alibaba DashScope, plus how to set agents.defaults.model / agents.planning.model / agents.implementation.model (e.g. openai/gpt-5.4).
• 🔐 Secrets hygiene. All YAML config has been collapsed into a single deepcode_config.json (nanobot-style), and .gitignore now ignores it alongside secrets.json, *credentials*.json, .env, .env.* (with *.env.example whitelisted).
• 📝 Launch table fixed. deepcode (no flags) actually starts Docker mode — the README now shows deepcode --local for the no-Docker path and adds explicit Troubleshooting rows for "Docker is installed but not running", Windows GBK encoding, and the issues fixed above.
• 🧹 Misc: auto-create logs/ directory so JSONL logging never fails on a fresh checkout, replace bare except: with except Exception: in agent_orchestration_engine.py (Ruff E722), command_executor MCP tool descriptions now embed the host OS so the LLM picks compatible commands.

🎉 [2025-10-28] DeepCode Achieves SOTA on PaperBench!

DeepCode sets new benchmarks on OpenAI's PaperBench Code-Dev across all categories:

• 🏆 Surpasses Human Experts: 75.9% (DeepCode) vs Top Machine Learning PhDs 72.4% (+3.5%).
• 🥇 Outperforms SOTA Commercial Code Agents: 84.8% (DeepCode) vs Leading Commercial Code Agents (+26.1%) (Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex).
• 🔬 Advances Scientific Coding: 73.5% (DeepCode) vs PaperCoder 51.1% (+22.4%).
• 🚀 Beats LLM Agents: 73.5% (DeepCode) vs best LLM frameworks 43.3% (+30.2%).

🚀 Key Features

📊 Experimental Results

We evaluate DeepCode on the PaperBench benchmark (released by OpenAI), a rigorous testbed requiring AI agents to independently reproduce 20 ICML 2024 papers from scratch. The benchmark comprises 8,316 gradable components assessed using SimpleJudge with hierarchical weighting.

Our experiments compare DeepCode against four baseline categories: (1) Human Experts, (2) State-of-the-Art Commercial Code Agents, (3) Scientific Code Agents, and (4) LLM-Based Agents.

① 🧠 Human Expert Performance (Top Machine Learning PhD)

DeepCode: 75.9% vs. Top Machine Learning PhD: 72.4% (+3.5%)

DeepCode achieves 75.9% on the 3-paper human evaluation subset, surpassing the best-of-3 human expert baseline (72.4%) by +3.5 percentage points. This demonstrates that our framework not only matches but exceeds expert-level code reproduction capabilities, representing a significant milestone in autonomous scientific software engineering.

② 💼 State-of-the-Art Commercial Code Agents

DeepCode: 84.8% vs. Best Commercial Agent: 58.7% (+26.1%)

On the 5-paper subset, DeepCode substantially outperforms leading commercial coding tools:

• Cursor: 58.4%
• Claude Code: 58.7%
• Codex: 40.0%
• DeepCode: 84.8%

This represents a +26.1% improvement over the leading commercial code agent. All commercial agents utilize Claude Sonnet 4.5 or GPT-5 Codex-high, highlighting that DeepCode's superior architecture—rather than base model capability—drives this performance gap.

③ 🔬 Scientific Code Agents

DeepCode: 73.5% vs. PaperCoder: 51.1% (+22.4%)

Compared to PaperCoder (51.1%), the state-of-the-art scientific code reproduction framework, DeepCode achieves 73.5%, demonstrating a +22.4% relative improvement. This substantial margin validates our multi-module architecture combining planning, hierarchical task decomposition, code generation, and iterative debugging over simpler pipeline-based approaches.

④ 🤖 LLM-Based Agents

DeepCode: 73.5% vs. Best LLM Agent: 43.3% (+30.2%)

DeepCode significantly outperforms all tested LLM agents:

• Claude 3.5 Sonnet + IterativeAgent: 27.5%
• o1 + IterativeAgent (36 hours): 42.4%
• o1 BasicAgent: 43.3%
• DeepCode: 73.5%

The +30.2% improvement over the best-performing LLM agent demonstrates that sophisticated agent scaffolding, rather than extended inference time or larger models, is critical for complex code reproduction tasks.

🎯 Autonomous Self-Orchestrating Multi-Agent Architecture

The Challenges:

• 📄 Implementation Complexity: Converting academic papers and complex algorithms into working code requires significant technical effort and domain expertise

• 🔬 Research Bottleneck: Researchers spend valuable time implementing algorithms instead of focusing on their core research and discovery work

• ⏱️ Development Delays: Product teams experience long wait times between concept and testable prototypes, slowing down innovation cycles

• 🔄 Repetitive Coding: Developers repeatedly implement similar patterns and functionality instead of building on existing solutions

DeepCode addresses these workflow inefficiencies by providing reliable automation for common development tasks, streamlining your development workflow from concept to code.

🔄 Process Intelligence Features

🚀 Quick Start

📋 Prerequisites

Before installing DeepCode, ensure you have the following:

# Check your versions
python --version   # Should be 3.9+
node --version     # Should be 18+
npm --version      # Should be 8+

# macOS (using Homebrew)
brew install node

# Ubuntu/Debian
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

# Windows
# Download from https://nodejs.org/

📦 Step 1: Installation

Choose one of the following installation methods:

⚡ Direct Installation (Recommended)

# 🚀 Install DeepCode package directly
pip install deepcode-hku

# 🔑 Download the unified configuration template
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HKUDS/DeepCode/main/deepcode_config.json.example
cp deepcode_config.json.example deepcode_config.json

🔧 Development Installation (From Source)

🔥 Using UV (Recommended for Development)

git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/DeepCode.git
cd DeepCode/

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
uv venv --python=3.13
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
uv pip install -r requirements.txt

# Install frontend dependencies
npm install --prefix new_ui/frontend

🐍 Using Traditional pip

git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/DeepCode.git
cd DeepCode/

pip install -r requirements.txt

# Install frontend dependencies
npm install --prefix new_ui/frontend

🧪 Editable install (lets deepcode always run THIS checkout)

If you want the global deepcode command to launch the source tree you are hacking on, install the project in editable mode after the steps above:

pip install -e .

This registers a deepcode-hku package (current version 1.2.0) and exposes the deepcode CLI entry point. Any local code change is picked up immediately on next launch — no reinstall needed.

If you maintain multiple DeepCode checkouts, only one of them can own the deepcode command at a time (the most recent pip install -e . wins). Reinstall in the checkout you currently want to be active.

🔧 Step 2: Configuration

The following configuration applies to all installation methods (pip, UV, source, and Docker). Everything lives in one file: deepcode_config.json (single source of truth, nanobot-style).

🔑 API Keys (required)

Edit deepcode_config.json and fill in at least one provider key. Inline strings work, and ${ENV_VAR} references are resolved at load time.

{
  "providers": {
    "openai":    { "apiKey": "your_openai_api_key" },
    "anthropic": { "apiKey": "${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}" },
    "gemini":    { "apiKey": "" }
  }
}

Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint is supported by overriding apiBase on the matching provider entry. Then set the model name on the agents block (using provider/model slugs):

{
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "provider": "openrouter",
      "model": "z-ai/glm-5.1"
    },
    "planning":       { "provider": "openrouter", "model": "z-ai/glm-5.1" },
    "implementation": { "provider": "openrouter", "model": "z-ai/glm-5.1" }
  },
  "providers": {
    "openai":     { "apiKey": "your_openai_api_key" },
    "openrouter": { "apiKey": "your_openrouter_key", "apiBase": "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1" }
  }
}

OpenRouter model ids must use the exact id returned by OpenRouter, for example z-ai/glm-5.1, anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5, or google/gemini-2.5-pro. In the new UI, open Settings → OpenRouter Models to search the live OpenRouter catalog and update the Default, Planning, and Implementation models without editing this file manually. Saving from the UI reloads the runtime for newly started workflows.

🔐 Never commit deepcode_config.json. It is already in .gitignore.

🤖 LLM Provider (optional)

The provider is inferred from the model slug (openai/..., anthropic/..., gemini/..., etc.). To force a specific backend, set agents.defaults.provider:

{
  "agents": {
    "defaults": { "provider": "openai" }
  }
}

📄 Document Segmentation (optional)

{
  "documentSegmentation": {
    "enabled": true,
    "sizeThresholdChars": 50000
  }
}

On Windows you may need to configure MCP servers manually in deepcode_config.json (tools.mcpServers):

# 1. Install MCP servers globally
npm i -g @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem

# 2. Find your global node_modules path
npm -g root

{
  "tools": {
    "mcpServers": {
      "filesystem": {
        "type": "stdio",
        "command": "node",
        "args": ["C:/Program Files/nodejs/node_modules/@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem/dist/index.js", "."]
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace the path with the actual global node_modules path from step 2.

DeepCode performs web content retrieval through the built-in fetch MCP server (no API key required) and reads local files via filesystem. The auxiliary search server defaults to filesystem:

{
  "tools": { "defaultSearchServer": "filesystem" }
}

💡 Tip: To plug in another search backend, add it under tools.mcpServers in deepcode_config.json and set tools.defaultSearchServer to its name.

⚡ Step 3: Launch Application

Choose your preferred launch method:

No Python/Node needed — everything in container.

git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/DeepCode.git
cd DeepCode/
cp deepcode_config.json.example \
   deepcode_config.json
# Edit deepcode_config.json with your API keys

./deepcode_docker/run_docker.sh
# Access → http://localhost:8000

Plain deepcode (no flags) is equivalent to launching this Docker path. It will fail with Docker is installed but not running if Docker Desktop isn't started — use the --local mode on the right in that case.

Run the new UI directly on the host (frontend + backend, no container).

deepcode --local
# Frontend → http://localhost:5173
# Backend  → http://localhost:8000
# Ctrl+C to stop

Features: User-in-Loop, real-time progress, inline chat. Use this when Docker isn't available or you need to iterate on local source changes.

# macOS / Linux
./run.sh
# or: python deepcode.py --local

# Windows
run.bat
# or: python deepcode.py --local

# Classic Streamlit UI
deepcode --classic

# CLI mode
deepcode --cli
# or: python cli/main_cli.py

💻 CLI sessions & inline inputs

The CLI is session-aware by default. A run without --session creates a new persistent session under ~/.deepcode/sessions/<id>/; pass --session <id> to attach a new task to an existing session.

# Session management from the shell
python cli/main_cli.py session list
python cli/main_cli.py session show <session_id>
python cli/main_cli.py session resume <session_id>   # show history, then enter interactive mode
python cli/main_cli.py --session <session_id> --file paper.pdf

Inside python cli/main_cli.py, type these at the main menu prompt:

/resume                 # pick a previous session from a numbered list
/new My experiment      # create and switch to a fresh session
/session                # show the currently active session
@/absolute/path.pdf     # process a file without opening the file picker
@"C:\path with spaces\paper.pdf"
@https://arxiv.org/pdf/....

Every task created from these flows inherits the active session_id; per-task logs are written to deepcode_lab/tasks/<task>/logs/.

In the web UI, use the Sessions menu in the header to resume or delete a session. Deleting a session removes its JSONL session record and associated task workspace under deepcode_lab/tasks/, but keeps original files in uploads/. If the session still has pending, running, or waiting_for_input tasks, the backend rejects the deletion until the task is cancelled or completed.

./deepcode_docker/run_docker.sh stop      # Stop
./deepcode_docker/run_docker.sh restart   # Restart (no rebuild needed for config changes)
./deepcode_docker/run_docker.sh --build   # Force rebuild
./deepcode_docker/run_docker.sh logs      # Real-time logs
./deepcode_docker/run_docker.sh status    # Health check
./deepcode_docker/run_docker.sh clean     # Remove containers & images

Or with Docker Compose directly:

docker compose -f deepcode_docker/docker-compose.yml up --build   # Build & start
docker compose -f deepcode_docker/docker-compose.yml down         # Stop
docker compose -f deepcode_docker/docker-compose.yml logs -f      # Logs

💡 Config files are mounted as volumes — edit and restart, no rebuild needed. 💡 Windows users: run docker compose commands directly if shell scripts aren't available.

🎯 Step 4: Generate Code

1. 📄 Input — Upload a research paper, type requirements, or paste a URL
2. 🤖 Processing — The multi-agent system analyzes, plans, and generates
3. ⚡ Output — Receive production-ready code with tests and documentation

    style Engine fill:#1a1a2e,stroke:#ff6b6b,color:#fff
    style LLM fill:#1a1a2e,stroke:#9b59b6,color:#fff

Both services run inside the same Docker Compose network. Prerequisites: Docker Desktop + OpenRouter API Key (get one) + Feishu App.

Step 1 · Create a Feishu Bot

1. Go to Feishu Open Platform → Create Custom App
2. Enable Bot capability in App Features
3. Add permissions: im:message · im:message:send_as_bot
4. Event Subscription → select Long Connection → add im.message.receive_v1
5. Note your App ID (cli_xxx) and App Secret → Publish the app

Note: Feishu requires an active WebSocket connection before you can save "Long Connection" mode. Start nanobot first (Step 3), then come back to configure Event Subscription.

Step 2 · Configure

cp nanobot_config.json.example nanobot_config.json

Edit nanobot_config.json — fill in the 3 required fields:

{
  "channels": {
    "feishu": {
      "enabled": true,
      "appId": "cli_xxx",              // ← Feishu App ID
      "appSecret": "xxx",              // ← Feishu App Secret
      "allowFrom": []                  // [] = allow all users
    }
  },
  "providers": {
    "openrouter": {
      "apiKey": "sk-or-v1-xxx"         // ← OpenRouter API Key
    }
  },
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514"
    }
  }
}

Model choice: Any model on openrouter.ai/models. Use anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514 for English, minimax/minimax-m2.1 for Chinese.

Step 3 · Launch

Make sure deepcode_config.json has your DeepCode API keys (see Configuration), then:

./nanobot/run_nanobot.sh -d          # Start both DeepCode + nanobot in background

The script checks Docker, validates configs, builds images (first run only), and starts both containers.

✓ DeepCode API:  http://localhost:8000
✓ Nanobot:       http://localhost:18790

Now open Feishu → find your bot → send a message!

./nanobot/run_nanobot.sh              # Start (foreground)
./nanobot/run_nanobot.sh -d           # Start (background)
./nanobot/run_nanobot.sh stop         # Stop all services
./nanobot/run_nanobot.sh restart      # Restart (config changes take effect immediately)
./nanobot/run_nanobot.sh --build      # Force rebuild Docker images
./nanobot/run_nanobot.sh logs         # View real-time logs
./nanobot/run_nanobot.sh status       # Health check
./nanobot/run_nanobot.sh clean        # Remove containers & images
