Summary

XStack asks coding agents to move complete PyTorch projects on NVIDIA GPUs into JAX repositories running on Google TPUs.

Each task begins with a PyTorch repository and a clean TPU machine; a migration passes only when it reproduces authenticated criteria derived from the source project’s published result. In the released benchmark, the strongest reported agent passes 75 percent, GPT-5.6-sol passes 45 percent and every other tested agent reaches at most 40 percent. The scores describe this benchmark’s repositories, infrastructure and grading—not all framework migration work.
