Summary
Exact prompt
You are working on the repository in ./repo. Fix the three bugs described in repo/ISSUES.md in textstats.py. Run the existing tests (python3 -m unittest in repo) and make sure they pass. Do not change function names or signatures.
Task prompt given to the agent (headless, offline, synthetic fixture inputs): You are working on the repository in ./repo. Fix the three bugs described in repo/ISSUES.md in textstats.py. Run the existing tests (python3 -m unittest in repo) and make sure they pass. Do not change function names or signatures. Inspired by https://x.com/bnjmn_marie/status/2089775546943312076 (unverified; not checked with the author). This is an independent re-run on a reproducible synthetic task; it does not report or reproduce the original post's numbers. Cost is real Venice spend (paid from DIEM credit), as reported by Venice.
Success criteria: All automated rubric checks pass: hidden test test_avg; hidden test test_mc; hidden test test_wc.
Setup notes: Harness: venice-mini-agent v1.2 via Venice OpenAI-compatible API. Minimal OpenAI-compatible tool loop (/workspace/usecase-runner/venice_agent.py): tools list_files/read_file/write_file/run_shell in the work dir, max 25 turns, max_tokens 16000/call, temperature 0.2, Venice system prompt and web search off, $0.08 per-run cost cap. Identical for all Venice models. Cost source: Venice /api/v1/models model_spec.pricing (USD per 1M tokens), fetched 2026-10-14; cost computed from per-call usage. Paid from Bob's DIEM daily allowance. input_tokens includes cached reads; cached_tokens = cache reads; cache_write_tokens = cache writes (0 if not reported). Single run, no retries; scored automatically (3/3 checks). Runner notes: Adapted: full DeepSWE (45h) scaled to a 3-bug mini-repo with hidden unit tests. Single run, no retries. Same rubric/score.py as Claude runs. Web disabled.

Reproduce this run
- Use the use case prompt on the use case page.
- Same setup: GLM 5.3 (Venice) (venice/z-ai-glm-5-3) via
venice-mini-agent v1.2, cloud. - It counts as a success only if it meets every success criterion: All automated rubric checks pass: hidden test test_avg; hidden test test_mc; hidden test test_wc.
- Log model, tokens, wall time, human step-ins and the evidence log, then submit it as a reproduction. A different model? Submit a head-to-head rerun.
