About
OpenSAS is an open-source, SAS 9.4-compatible interpreter written in Zig that produces byte-for-byte matching output to proprietary SAS across full clinical pipelines (SDTM, ADaM). It was built entirely by a coordinated team of seven coding agents using only public SAS documentation, comprising 87,795 lines of code, 3,548 commits, and over 2,600 unit and conformance tests, and runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, and in-browser.
What it can do
Interpret and execute SAS 9.4 code
SAS 9.4 program code → Program output matching proprietary SAS
Process clinical data pipelines (SDTM, ADaM)
Clinical trial datasets → SDTM/ADaM formatted output
Why it made the leaderboard
Opens execution-based testing to a 50-year-old proprietary language dominant in clinical trial programming, and is a notable proof point for multi-agent coordination on a large, test-heavy systems project.
