JioHotstar Benchmarks Knowledge Bases for AI Coding Agents

JioHotstar evaluated 6 approaches to code retrieval for AI coding agents using SWE, CodeScale Bench, and an internal question-answering harness. Structural search performed well on concrete tasks, while semantic retrieval helped with ambiguous requirements. The findings highlight trade-offs in accuracy, token use, and tool design, underscoring the need to match retrieval tools to task types. By Leela Kumili
