Basic Information
Website: https://www.factory.ai/droids
Short description: Agent for software development [source]

Developer
Website: https://www.factory.ai/
Legal name: The San Francisco AI Factory Inc [source]
Entity type: Corporation [source]
Country (location of developer or first author's first affiliation): USA [source]
Safety policies: What safety and/or responsibility policies are in place?: Unknown
System Components
Backend model(s): What model(s) are used to power the system?: Variable, including models from Anthropic and OpenAI [source]
Public model specification: Is there formal documentation on the system’s intend...: None
Description of reasoning, planning, and memory implementation: How does the syst...: Only high level details are given. Droid can decompose tasks, "simulate decisions, perform self-criticism, and reflect on real and imagined decisions". Droid uses "HyperCode to construct a multi-resolution representation of a given engineering system" and ByteRank for retrieving task-relevant information [source].
Observation space: What is the system able to observe while 'thinking'?: From the codebase, Droid can "autonomously construct explicit (graph) and implicit (latent space similarity) relationships within low-level data and extract insights about these relationships at different levels of abstraction" [source].
Action space/tools: What direct actions can the system take?: Droid has access to developer tools and environments (intended to be similar to what is available to human developers) [source].
User interface: How do users interact with the system?: Unknown
Development cost and compute: What is known about the development costs?: Unknown
Guardrails & Oversight
Accessibility of components
Weights: Are model parameters available?: N/A; backends various models
Data: Is data available?: N/A; backends various models
Code: Is code available?: Closed source
Documentation: Is documentation available?: Unavailable, but they have a technical report [source]
Scaffolding: Is system scaffolding available?: Closed source
Controls and guardrails: What notable methods are used to protect against harmfu...: 1. "Code Droid operates within a strictly defined, sandboxed environment that isolates its operational scope from main development environments." 2. "Droids log and report the reasoning behind all of their actions." 3. "DroidShield performs real-time static code analysis to detect potential security vulnerabilities, bugs, or intellectual property breaches before they are committed to code" [source].
Monitoring and shutdown procedures: Are there any notable methods or protocols t...: Unknown
Customer and usage restrictions: Are there know-your-customer measures or other ...: None
Evaluation
Notable benchmark evaluations (e.g., on SWE-Bench Verified): 19.27% on SWE-bench Full and 31.67% on SWE-bench Lite [source]
Bespoke testing (e.g., demos): None
Safety: Have safety evaluations been conducted by the developers? What were the ...: None
Publicly reported external red-teaming or comparable auditing
Personnel: Who were the red-teamers/auditors?: None
Scope, scale, access, and methods: What access did red-teamers/auditors have and...: None
Findings: What did the red-teamers/auditors conclude?: None
Ecosystem
Interoperability with other systems: What tools or integrations are available?: None
Usage statistics and patterns: Are there any notable observations about usage?: Unknown
