Setting up all the SWE-Bench Verified images used to take over 200 GiB of storage and 100+ GiB of transfer.

Now it’s just:
- 31 GiB total storage (down from 206 GiB)
- 5 GiB network transfer (down from 100 GiB)
- ~ 5 minutes setup


## 🚀 Getting the Images

Images follow the naming convention:

```
logicstar/sweb.eval.x86_64.<repo>_1776_<instance>
```

### Docker
```bash
curl -L -# https://huggingface.co/LogicStar/SWE-Bench-Verified-Compressed/resolve/main/saved.tar.zst?download=true | zstd -d --long=31 --stdout | docker load 
```

### Podman
⚠️ Podman cannot load docker-archives with manifests larger than 1 MiB.
We split the archive into two parts:
```bash
curl -L -# https://huggingface.co/LogicStar/SWE-Bench-Verified-Compressed/resolve/main/saved.1.tar.zst?download=true | zstd -d --long=31 --stdout | podman load 
curl -L -# https://huggingface.co/LogicStar/SWE-Bench-Verified-Compressed/resolve/main/saved.2.tar.zst?download=true | zstd -d --long=31 --stdout | podman load 
```

For faster downloads and parallelized loading, use the Hugging Face CLI to download the compressed OCI Layout and our load.py script to load the images in parallel:

```bash
# Clone the repo and cd into it
hf download LogicStar/SWE-Bench-Verified-Compressed layout.tar.zst --local-dir .
zstd -d --long=31 --stdout layout.tar.zst | tar -x -f -
python3 load.py
```

## 🛠 Using the Images

Just pass --namespace logicstar to the SWE-Bench harness. Example:

```bash
python -m swebench.harness.run_evaluation \
    --predictions_path gold \
    --max_workers 1 \
    --run_id validate-gold \
    --namespace logicstar
```
