Factory AI announced that its benchmark Legacy-Bench has joined Fireworks AI's Specialized Intelligence Index.
- Rationale: frontier models have blind spots on legacy code, which existing benchmarks don't cover.
- Legacy-Bench tests how well AI models can debug, extend, and migrate historic systems — targeting real-world software maintenance rather than toy coding tasks.
