Today, in collaboration with @IBMResearch, we are launching ScarfBench (Self-Contained Application Refactoring Benchmark), an open benchmark designed to test whether coding agents can successfully migrate enterprise Java apps across frameworks like Jakarta EE, Quarkus, and Spring pp’s expected behavior.
Moving between frameworks takes coordinated changes across dependency injection, persistence, build systems, and deployment infrastructure. An agent can easily generate a migration that looks fine or compiles, only for the app to fail when deployed. ScarfBench puts that to the test.
ScarfBench evaluates each model with its harness over 204 migration tasks. Gemini 4 Argon with Antigravity scores 75.2%, followed by Claude Opus 5.5 with Claude Code at 70.5%, and Claude Opus 5 with Claude Code at 69.8%.

What will you bring back from IBM TechXchange?
For IBM Champion Darren Surch, it was sharper technical skills and fresh ideas from conversations with people working on AI, quantum computing and IBM Z.
Those conversations led to collaborations that helped shape his company.

@0xElPatron95 Hi! To clarify, Bobcoins are the units used to measure consumption within IBM Bob, our AI coding agent. They are not cryptocurrency and this announcement is unrelated to the meme coin.

Connect your models in one of two ways:
1️⃣ Frontier models through a cloud model service your organization already uses.
2️⃣ Open-weight models running on your own GPUs.

Once deployed, Bob IDE and Bob Shell connect to your organization’s hosted backend.
Teams can use these clients with the backend running on infrastructure their organization manages.

Getting things running takes two stages with bobctl:
First, create the cluster-wide resources.
Then, install Bob into a namespace using namespace-level permissions.

IBM Bob Self-Hosted is now supporting @nvidia Nemotron and Poolside Laguna.
After a year of rigorous model evaluation and optimization alongside NVIDIA, the IBM Bob team selected these models to power on-premises and air-gapped enterprise deployments.
