wzenus discovered that RAGEN — turning multi-turn agent trajectories into training batches — ranks as the 3rd hardest task (FDI 92.9) among 48 tasks in FrontierCS-2, behind KV Compaction (107.0) and Structured LWE (101.4).

The core code was written entirely by hand in Jan 2025, before coding agents took off. The author muses at how quickly hand-written work became a frontier benchmark task.
