I love learning about myself. Who I am as a person or a professional. It's super helpful.
I know how to be pragmatic about my ability to do something. I know how many emails I need to send for making some extra money.
It's one of those things I do differently than most people.
The last couple of times when you built a site with Next.js โ what did you end up spending money on.
I want to understand how/where in 2020, Developers spent money when building with the JS/React/Next.js stack. ๐
Every time I write a CLI to automate some silly repetitive task I feel so good.

Someone told me to buy a domain only after building an MVP product, to avoid excessive domain purchases. The sensible thing to do.
Me: Nahhh! Click that buy button!!!

December was absolutely weird. Spent it thinking about 2021. First two weeks have been weirdly productive. I have no idea what to call this. It's like I have hired myself.
An excellent free Local WordPress development tool. I'm a big fan of Kinsta โ both the hosting and the people who run it. This tool has made my local/prod sync super easy. ๐
I'm so fortunate to be a software engineer during the pandemic. I did Electrical Engineering with majors in Computer Science (CS) but was always interested in CS. Wanted to invent & name things. Took a huge risk right after graduation and got my first job as a Software Developer.
@easypaisa made a mistake registering for EasyPaisa app. Now getting tens of spam SMS messages from them with no way of opting out. People should be filing a complaint against them in the consumer court for spamming.

Clubhouse === Inaccessible
While @joinClubhouse seems pretty good โ it's inaccessible as heck. None of the 75% of mobiles, 3.75 billion Android users cannot access it.

Today's JavaScript automation tip #OneDevMinute
When using pupeteer to automate anything, like printing a pdf, you might find yourself in situation where you need to emulate the website dark mode โ you know coz dark mode is awesome. ๐ง
For that use emulateMediaFeatures. Yolo! https://t.co/z56RZidnz3
Generating an ePUB sucks. ๐ง
Just wrote a script to automate that, and SVGs won't render. Ended up creating SVG fallback PNGs that will only appear when generating ePUB.

MySQL is named after Michael "Monty" Widenius, daughter named "My". Monty is the primary author of MySQL.
๐ and wait for it โฆ
MariaDB is named after Monty's younger daughter, "Maria" โ go figure.
Cut down the scope of your product, documentation, and deliverables. The more you do that the more clear your product messaging becomes. Simple is hard and it's generally worth it.
Developers: I care a lot about accessibility. My website scores 100 / green circle for #a11y.
Same Devs (2 hrs later): Join my exclusive elite panel on Clubhouse as I completely ignore 70% of the mobile users (Android devices) without giving two sh*ts about accessibility.

Introduction to CORS
CORS is an HTTP-based mechanism that lets you request data from one URL to a different URL.
Let's talk about it in a bit more detail. ๐งต๐
CORS stands for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing.
Half of the definition is clear by the abbreviation. CORS allows a server to share resources with browsers having different origins.
Presence is an elusive trait. โ Berry S.
Itโs our ability to own the room.
One of the actions you can take to improve your presence is to stop saying โsorryโ when itโs not warranted. Instead, say this:
๐ Instead of: โSorry to bother youโ
๐ช Say: โDo you have a minute?โ
๐งต๐
The Harvard Business Review describes it as โyour ability to project mature self-confidence; a sense that you can take control of difficult, unpredictable situations, make tough decisions in a timely way, and hold your own with other talented and strong-willed team members.โ

API Development using fun challenges (with solutions!) and interactive examples. 8 learn labs.
โจ I promise this is the best way to learn APIs. My team and I put a lot of thought into this. Check it out.
Generally, here are 9 HTTP request methods:
โฏ GET
โฏ PUT
โฏ POST
โฏ HEAD
โฏ TRACE
โฏ PATCH
โฏ DELETE
โฏ OPTIONS
โฏ CONNECT
Did you know? Let's discuss each of these ๐งต๐
HTTP defines a set of request methods.
Each request method indicates a different action.
Sometimes we call them HTTP verbs.
Each of them implements a different logic.
One misfortune is better than a thousand words of advice. Sometimes when mentoring junior developers, I intentionally let them make mistakes, so they learn to learn on their own. ๐ง
Forgot WiFi's password?
Often someone asks for a WiFi password and I don't remember what it is. Makes me feel dumb lol. Instead of a trip down GUI to search for it, I created a CLI to quickly get a stored WiFi password from your computer.
Run in your terminal:
๏ผnpx wifi-pswd https://t.co/KXKtKbhQon
The term API refers to a software interface that enables two programs to communicate with one another and exchange data.
But not all APIs are REST APIs, so what's the difference exactly? ๐ค

From tinkering with webpack to edge serving for the best user experience, the web has advanced significantly in the past five years.
But a majority of websites (old CMS space) are still mired in the past and disregard developer experience. Developers leave if you ignore them.
The more risk I took especially early in my career, the more it paid off. I have always been calculative, overthought decisions, but worked deeply.
The bigger the risk you take the more leverage you build for yourself. Leverage is good.

However, I started using it again today and already finished with my goal for the day. Now, I'm exploring what else I can accomplish, in the next couple of hours.
Using generative AI is super addictive, but the business value it brings is undeniable. We've already achieved so much, which is unbelievable.

React Server Components are cool! ๐ BUTโฆ
But React Client Components aren't going anywhere.
โจ Client Components aren't always bad.
โจ A client component is fetched once, so if you have an SVG in your nav, make it a client comp so it's not fetched on each request.
โจ Next.js will still SSR client components.
๐ง The point of having a layout.tsx file is not just to have a wrapper around your client components. You could always do that using a component to wrap your pages.
๐ง The unique value proposition of Layouts is specifically to display components that preserve the state between nested page navigations. This is a big plus!

I just spent the last six hours debugging an old ass auth system that allowed admin access but wouldn't let any other user get data from the API.
Since I had written the API and the Auth wrapper, I had once before had this problem, but that was way back then, years ago.
Now what did I not do to try and fix this?
I read the entire (or nearly so) OAuth specification
- I read the core of three authentication systems
- Built two JavaScript packages to redo auth
- Then built a custom logger for PHP to JS to TS
- Though end-to-end type checking would help
- Wrote Zod types, TypeScript interfaces
- But all good, admin works, no for other users
Until finally, and I really mean finally, I remembered something.
Holly shit, I can't believe this.
Decades of coding experience, and here I am.
So, what happened?
Well, I had written a small fn to restrict API access to admins only about three weeks ago.
And yours truly completely forgot about it.
No one could help.
No software source helped.
I think I used every AI out there, from Co-Pilot chat and ChatGPT (tried both 3.5 and 4) to Anthropic's Claude.
Ultimately, my flippin' brain worked.
And I remembered.
Dummy, you had restricted everyone's access but admins.
That freakin' one-liner, sheeeeeiiiit.
I can't explain what I'm feeling right now.
Dang effing shit, smack that CMD + /, commented that line.
And boy, are we back in business.
The software world is crazy.
Think we're safe from AI, till it can remember literally everything, like our brains do. Or forget as we do.
Anyhoo โ figured, I'll share it with y'all.
So, how's your weekend going?

Your page.tsx file should probably always be a React Server component (RSC).
Client components are small parts imported into it. And some times they are atomic providers where the children are again React Server components.
This is a new pattern that has become a great mental model for me when building new Next.js app router-based projects.
RSCs are always page-level or components that are used as children.
Client comps are always atomic leaf components or atomic providers with children RSCโs.
Atomic provider has only one RSC component as a child.
So far it's stood test of the time. Makes decision-making easier. Instead of guesswork on when to chose RSC vs a client component and how.

Listen up, folks! Tailwind isn't some fancy tool for making your code readableโit's an absolute game-changer with a different value prop.
Think of Tailwind as the ultimate CSS API that brings developers together on the same wavelength.
Now, sure, you can query a database in countless ways. But picture this: a REST endpoint with a well-defined OpenAPI schema that's meticulously documented, production-ready, and optimized for caching. When all your team developers can query it in the same wayโusing the APIโmagic happens!
That, my friends, is the true power of Tailwind. Let me tell you a little story. I used to be one of those CSS puristsโI'd craft every line of code from scratch with love and passion.
And don't get me wrong, I still adore that process. But when I started working with teams, things got complicated. People just couldn't wrap their heads around why I used certain techniques. Display table layouts? Oh, they're incredible for so many things, but explaining their brilliance was a struggle.
Teaching and documenting everything became a daunting task. But then Tailwind came along, and even though I had my reservations about yet another framework, I gave it a shot.
And you know what? I was blown away. Tailwind never forced me into a specific mental model. Instead, it made mundane tasks ridiculously easy. Need a shadow on your card? Just add the `shadow` class, carefully crafted by a highly respected designer.
All of a sudden, working on UI projects with my team became a breeze. Onboarding new members? Piece of cake! We'd simply direct them to the fantastic documentation maintained by Adam, Steve, and the rest of the team.
And here we are in 2023, my friends. Nearly every framework out there supports components now. So, instead of cluttering your pages with repetitive syntax, use components to tidy things up and keep them all organized.
Well, that's my two cents on the matter. Tailwindโlove it or hate itโhas revolutionized the way teams collaborate. Trust me, it's worth it. ๐
Next.js App Directory Mental Model โจ
This mental model solves 99% of app dir patterns.
โฏโฏ React Server Components:
Try to always keep your main layout/page files RSCs.
๐น layout.tsx
๐น page.tsx
โฏโฏ React Client Components:
Any leaf comps could be client comps.
๐น Nav.tsx
๐น Alert.tsx
โฏโฏ Atomic Providers
You can import a client comp in a server comp. This client comp conditionally renders a server comp, if certain conditions are met.
๐น Auth.tsx // โ Client Comp
๐น๐น {children} // โ Server Comp
This way, your Client comp knows nothing about the server comp โ yet you can enjoy the benefit of using something from the client side and conditionally fetching the server comp if the conditions are met.
Like showing user data server comp when client comp confirms that the user is signed in.
Meta (Facebook) is launching a Twitter competitor app called Threads on July 6th.
Monthly active users as of 2023
Meta:
Facebook: ~3.0B
Instagram: ~2.0B
WhatsApp: ~2.0B
Twitter: ~300M
I think they may have a real shot at this. Considering how Twitter has gone down the drain since last year.
Meta's Threads App cracked 10M users in 7 hrs! โจ
Mark Zuckerberg said over ten million people signed up for Threads in the first seven hours of its launch.
โฏ Monthly active users as of 2023

What if Next.js v13 made React Client Components the default, while React Server Components required an opt-in "use server" directive?
This could address many questions from the community on GitHub and StackOverflow, where folks are confused about changes in Next v13 without realizing they're using server components.
The usage patterns likely wouldn't change - it's just that React Server Components are new. So we'd opt into them rather than opting into React Client Components and waiting for the React community to start shipping "use client" in popular packages.
I'm genuinely curious: might this reduce some of the React drama on Twitter and elsewhere? Not pointing fingers; just exploring options. We're all learning as we go.
Clear communication and empathy can overcome the current issues. What do you think?

Most developers don't realize how much time I spend on the courses I teach. Thousands of hours. ๐
I'm thinking of this as I prepare to launch my new course platform built on the new Next.js v13 app router.
Gist: What it took to create https://t.co/5FvGtbpBE8 course:
๐ Built 22 CLI projects to teach
๐ซฃ Spent 50 hrs organizing the right order to teach
๐๏ธ Bought a mic upgrade + learned Adobe Auditions
๐น Started recording 100 videos (massive 1x4 course)
๐ค Got sore throat after two weeks of work (stopped)
โฐ Spent another month recording 100 videos
๐งฟ Only then start to edit these videos
๐ฅฒ Editing is laborious as heck!!
๐ค English is not my mother tongue
๐ฌ I cut around 30โ50% from each video
๐ Wrote a CLI to see how many hours in 100 vids
๐ต It was 30 hours of content (wops!!)
โจ Too much. Cut down to 10 hours of content
๐๏ธ Save Raw video Make external backups
๐๏ธ Duplicate Raw, export audio, process audio
๐๏ธ Import processed audio, improve sound levels
๐๏ธ Design and add intro/outros to videos
๐๏ธ Edit video (listening to yourself is extremely hard)
๐๏ธ Stop video editing to add Zoom in/out
๐๏ธ Write some close captions (CC's outsourced)
๐๏ธ Show the right keyboard shortcuts on screen
๐๏ธ Export 1080p and name the video
๐๏ธ Naming is hard. I exported all 100 videos
๐๏ธ Then rearranged and numbered these videos
๐๏ธ 11th video became video number 3 *dang
๐๏ธ Found three missing key concepts
๐๏ธ Recorded these videos again
๐๏ธ At least three times lost editing videos
๐ โโ๏ธ At least two times recorded with mic off
๐ Now we have videos! YAY! Next steps are
๐ฅ๏ธ Make the NodeCLI .com landing page
โ๏ธ Set up the server backend + auth + payments
๐ซก Enter 100 videos data into my CMS/backend
๐ฅฒ Video ID, Title, Slug, Captions, Access x 100x
๐ฌ Time to record the Promo video for the course
๐ซฃ Burn out. Stopped for a week; what can I do
๐ง Started again, marketing emails writing
๐ Over-engineered Next + React + MDX Emails
๐๏ธ Finally, 14 hrs in a day doing a promo video
๐ Getting there โ Created coupons + Affiliates
๐ฅณ Sourced testimonials by giving beta access
๐ Launched the course on Twitter
๐ฅฒ Forgot to swap the test video with promo
๐ซฃ Burnt out. 12 hrs later fixed the video
๐คฉ 2 years and 12K developers took the course
There's still so much missing in this timeline. I didn't even talk about the course platform I built for a year on the side. Doing 99% of this solo with the help + support of my incredible wife has been one of the best endeavors of my life. I love to teach. Some say I know a thing or two sometimes. ๐
The best part of all this is when developers reach out and tell me they got a job, a pay raise, or built something they never thought was possible. And all of a sudden, it's worth it all!
Thanks for all y'all's support!

Has anyone here bought a GoDaddy premium domain at the "Buy it Now" price before? I'm curious to know if the transfer was instant or if you had to wait for the owner's approval.
I'm considering buying a premium domain myself, but I'm a bit hesitant because I'm not sure if the "Buy it Now" price is just a way for GoDaddy to take my money and present it to the owner for approval or rejection.
I haven't been able to find much information about it online. Anyone?

Devs, I have a weird issue with AI-generated code.
Whenever I revisit my old codebases, it takes me some time to get used to the code that I wrote myself. It's like I wrote it and forgot all about it.
However, with the increasing use of AI in coding, I'm starting to face a more prominent challenge. Hear me out.
Even in my current project, if I write complex code with the help of generative AI, I can understand and appreciate it better at the time of writing.
But when I return to it after a week, the entire code feels unfamiliar to me to a degree where I'm like wtf and wt very f is all this.
It's not my usual coding style; it's sometimes more advanced and intricate, and I need to spend quite some time getting back into it.
I wonder if anyone else is experiencing the same issue.
Software industry is changing unlike anything I have seen in the last decade.
The feeling is that of early 2000s.
Audio/Video cassette industry vanished due to the digital transformation within five or so years.
What if the current state of software has a similar fate in the next five years due to generative AI/ML?
Software ate the world but was mostly only used as a system of records.
With generative AI, software is becoming a system of prediction and a system of execution.
Developers are adapting the fastest 've ever experienced.

When Shadcn joined Vercel, I immediately predicted that this was precisely the kind of project they would come up with. I'm so happy to be right this time.
What a time to be alive.
Exciting new era for frontend developers!
Let's go!!!
I have it on good authority that there is no AI in https://t.co/PzWZsyVGI0 โ it's all @shadcn responding directly to the UI prompts, building things with his UI for everyone.
Now, some folks out there have been bold enough to claim that @shadcn might just be the OG AGI (that's Artificial General Intelligence, for the uninitiated). Why?
Well, it's simple: nobody has ever laid eyes on this guy. I mean, seriously, has anyone ever seen his face? ๐

Yay! I'm speaking at Next. js Conf! โจ
See y'all in SF next week!
This time, it's all about streaming UX of AI & UI. Let's go!
โฏโฏ Streaming UI and Scaling Full-Stack AI with Next.js
"Did we really just do what we really just did?" was the feeling when I built a modern full-stack generative AI operating system on top of the new Next.js App Router.
It's not your run-of-the-mill AI wrapper; it's a UI/AI streaming masterpiece. The layouts magically switch components from server to client as needed.
The UI streams seamlessly with AI inference, parameters, and prompts so lifelike you'd swear you're chatting with a real person.
Simple, right? Not exactly rocket science, not groundbreaking, but oh-so-powerful. All of this was either impossible or extremely hard to pull off in the "Pages directory" just one year ago.
It scales so well I couldn't believe it myself. It's an undeniably brilliant full-stack AI developer experience.
In this talk, I'll explain how Next.js App Router is genuinely a winning bet and how it will change how we build UIs, especially for Gen-AI LLM-based apps.
I'll also talk about how I created the AI operating system on top of the Next.js App Directory. By the end of this talk, you'll walk away prepared to build your own generative AI LLM web apps that will use server and client components to craft complex yet powerfully simple interactions.
You'll feel confident in improving your web apps' Developer Experience (DX) and User Experience (UX). You'll be decisive in crafting apps with lightning-fast iteration velocity and default high performance. Let's go!

AI is poised to become an indispensable component for every company.
In the same way that the advent of content management systems led to the ubiquity of blogs on company websites, a similar trend is emerging with conversational AI interfaces.
My prediction is that soon, offering a conversational Q&A interface will become standard practice, an expected feature in any Software as a Service (SaaS) offering.
This shift represents a natural progression in how we interact with technology:
1๏ธโฃ First there was CLI interface
โ We started with the Command-Line Interface (CLI).
2๏ธโฃ Then we got GUI interface
โ Progressed to the Graphical User Interface (GUI).
3๏ธโฃ Now weโll get AI interface
โ And now, we are on the brink of widely adopting AI interfaces.
It's an exciting time to witness and be part of this evolution in technology โ let's embrace it. Letโs go!!
Does this mean Sam is essentially the boss of OpenAI, with all the compute + Azure and share Microsoft has?
Or is this an interim play as they build their own Company?
My prediction from two days ago just came true. Like many were expecting.
Sam Altman is back at OpenAI as CEO, Greg Brockman, and the rest of the team is reinstated. Guess what they have new board members?!
For good or worse, OpenAI will never be the same again. And letโs all get back to building. ๐

1. Why am I doing this?
In my role as VP of DevRel/DX at RapidAPI, I faced the problem of how generative AI development is gridlocked and vendor-locked.
Developers are lost in a maze of sub-par frameworks while companies are playing catch-up with the AI/ML talent hunt.
Itโs a shame to see IEEE Spectrum promote anti-innovation campaigns like this one.

@Ember_Tech my ember's plate is always is connected to the charger, so when I put it on the plate it's always charging. This feels odd. Should I not put it on the plate all the time, or the plate shouldn't be charging all the time? What's the best practice here.
Accessing hidden prompts feels like in the '90s; when we discovered โinspect website HTMLโ in the browser.
It feels like hacking.
It's easy to copy cool stuff.
It reminds me of the web's early days.
It feels good, not bad! ๐ฅณ
Getting tired to see mainstream media portraying AI in a negative light coz of this. Letโs normalize it.

It was when I started building for software developers (my people) that I had the most fun, and that brought a lot of unexpected compounding success in ways I couldnโt have ever imagined.

Unpopular opinion here:
LLM hallucinations make em human like.
No one really understands how the machine actually learns and the probability of how weights actually work. So, fixing hallucinations is a bigger problem than it seems.
But hallucinations are the most human thing these LLMs have. We also tend to forget and not remember exact info. Until reminded. Like you would know what you were doing when you were 20, but you wouldnโt remember what you were doing exactly one year ago on this day.
Yet, we have so many ways to work with these so-called bad algorithms.

Software development is here to stay. Humans will remain a BIG most essential part of any software toolchain.
That said, so many developers I talk to think of AI LLMs as some voodoo magic, or FAD, or something that only machine-learning engineers should deal with. That's a bad idea.
AI is for everyone!!
In fact, AI will mostly benefit web developers who know how to build products using APIs. AI is on an API now, and the web has always been an API.
If you're a software developer, you can be much more productive now. You can build products with AI without any machine-learning knowledge.
I've been talking to developers, and it hurts to see how slow the adoption is because of the statements of some big-name CEOs who keep shilling weird takes like "programming will not exist in the future" or something.
I've taken it upon myself to teach developers how to build with AI. I'm going to do whatever it takes, starting with absolutely free conference talks, workshops, meetups (that I'm already doing), content, and courses (all for free).
Are you a developer who knows how to send an API request or someone who wants to learn? You should be able to use AI. I'm here to help.
Reach out. I'm starting an absolutely free course via Langbase to teach all that.
Let me know what you'd like to learn.

What is โ Langbase?
Langbase is a composable AI infra and developer experience to build, collaborate, and deploy any AI products and features.
โฏโฏ Our mission
AI for all. Not just ML wizards.
Every. Single. Developer. (you too!)
OpenAI will be left behind if they didnโt release GPT5 in a month or so. Developers are actively replacing GPT with Sonnet and Llama 405B.
At Langbase we are seeing over 34% of pipes already moved to one of these new better performing models.
OpenAI wonโt launch GPT-5 before the elections is the most common reason of delay I hear.
Meantime Developers are switching away from GPT. Sonnet 3.5 and Llama 405B are winning.
At Langbase just yesterday we saw 18% more pipes using models other than GPT.
Will OpenAI fall behind? Should you use Claude?

History will repeat itself. People using AI will take jobs from people not using AI, just as people using computers once took jobs from those who didn't. The transformative power of technology is undeniable.
Not every job, of course, but many will evolve, favoring those who adapt. AI can enhance productivity, streamline tasks, and offer new capabilities, much like computers revolutionized industries.
Embracing AI is not just an advantageโit's becoming a necessity in the modern workforce.
Many donโt realize it. They think itโs a FAD. Like our parents thought of computers as a non serious thing. And here we're today.
So good. Predicted this last month when building out @LangbaseInc SDK structured outputs. Thereโs no better way. Every thing else feels hacky and duct taped . We have first class support for this. Letโs go!!
And for those who missed it, thereโs a huge price drop.
โBy switching to the new gpt-4o-2024-08-06, developers save 50% on inputs ($2.50/1M input tokens) and 33% on outputs ($10.00/1M output tokens) compared to gpt-4o-2024-05-13.โ
30-50% price drop. ๐

https://t.co/7TFC7ZXqpJ
SPAs are so back โ ChatGPT switched from Nextjs to Remix.
I think they have a bunch of services on the backend that they need the web, mac, and mobile apps to use. Thatโs a good reason to have a client side SPA.
What do you think is the reason?
I have strong opinions about this. Imagine asking a human to summarize a massive piece of content. Theyโre going to do what LLMs do.
Instead, I have a multi-agent pipes-based pipeline that takes each small chunk of text and converts that into a list with bold headings as prefixes.
This is 100x times better than random summary-making prompts, and it works even better with the cheapest, dumbest LLMs.
You can then cycle through, make three versions of it like I do, and read whatever you prefer.
Iโll open source this agentic pipeline at https://t.co/XpUaU14DDn org tomorrow when I have time to clean it up and add a readme.

What I donโt like about Cursor is that they picked an open source editor VSCode, and instead of contributing to it, they put a $20 tag on it.
All the work of open source contributors is just โฆ and they changed the UI for no reasonโฆ
They should instead have created an extension that lived inside VSCode.
Many of my workflows break switching to an inferior editor when composer could have just been an extension.
Hence I donโt switch and keep using VSCode. I use Copilot and Cody.
my daily code productivity tracker is Claude, when it says you're out of tokens โ 3 times a day, i know i've had a super productive day.
that's when i switch to openai o1 and it's been fun i tell ya, o1's chain of thought is super fast, doing that on app layer was slow.
o1's chain of thought is in fact a chain of plans.
true chain of thought is achieved by multiple RAG vector stores stitched together to think with several memory sets and compose connections between different thoughts.
that's how we built an agentic memory product

What more do you need?
200 multi-agents, multi-tools, and multi-RAG memory sets are some of the most powerful features of https://t.co/IyBHpDjMMI โ the Web AI Framework we open-sourced yesterday.
The ability to create agents that can talk to other agents as tools and memory stores has unbelievable gains.
๐นPipee is a serverless AI agent
๐น Pipe agents can have more pipes as tools
๐น Decent LLMs can easily manage ten tool calls
๐น 1 Master pipe with ten pipes as tools
๐น Each of these ten pipes with ten tools of their own
๐น Each of these pipes with 10-20 RAG memory sets
And just like that, you have a multi-agent system where each master pipe has the ability to intelligently auto-delegate tasks to one of the pipes as tools.
In our evals, we also added the ability for agent pipe tool calling to run automagically and self-heal on hallucination.
For example, gpt-4o-mini hallucinates a lot; a pipe with this model, with a math/calculator tool, does this:
1. prompt: what's 185cm in ft
2. it calls the calculator tool, asking "185cm in inches"
3. tool result is sent back as 72 inches
4. this is where BaseAI can heal this hallucination
5. we see BaseAI forcing the Pipe to a tool call again
6. this time, tool call us asking "72 inches to ft"
7. tool result is sent back as "6.069โฆft"
8. this is where we respond to the user
As you saw, 72 inches could have been the wrong answer to the user's question, but BaseAI is not brittle or static with tool calling. It forced the pipe agent to deeply-reason, self-heal, and make another tool call without any user intervention.
We call this agentic tool calling, where tools are pipes (pipes = prompts, instructions, personalization, engineer), and eaPipeipe has its prompts, which can allow us to auto-heal.
Next up our memory sets which are agentic as well, you can select ten different RAG memory stores, we have contextual and semantic deep reasoning, where you will get back the most relevant 20 topK vs getting 200 from 10 different RAG stores. So somewhat like o1 our memory store can deeply think about the answer too.
I'm excited to see what developers are building with BaseAI already. Make sure to check out the docs and star it on GitHub.
Meet me today at @Netlify Compose conf where @LangbaseInc is a community sponsor.
Letโs talk about building with https://t.co/UOPwWSJPdE the easiest way to build high quality AI agents that can talk to data with local developer experience. https://t.co/1dxbwgMfF6
oh wow!! for $0.03 i can't believe that i just created an agent that can caption an entire movie with precision and custom preferences for 100+ languages
built it using https://t.co/IyBHpDjeXa via @LangbaseInc (20 mins to code this) โ produvitivty gains are huge, and it maintains my preferences like certain words and similar aren't translated.
I converted the whole 2 hrs 23 mins of the new season 6, the first episode of Kurulus Osman, filmed in Turkish, to English captions.
You cannot do this with ChatGPT or Claude or Google Studio โ I tried, believe me. You can easily do it with us BaseAI agents (both local models for free) and proprietary models like @GoogleAI Gemini Flash (was most inexpensive with best results) or @OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini (which had the best speed but a bit more expensive)
INPUT:
13,159 words, 105,843 characters
OUTPUT:
16,755 words, 115,331 characters
English is quite more verbose compared to Turkish.
โฏ How does the agent work?
- The captioning agent is reasonably complex
- Starts with downloading the video
- Converts it from video to audio
- Transcribes using whisper (fails)
- Fails (then tries to skip these steps)
- Finds there is a `tr` language captions
- Downloads the `tr` Turkish captions
- Now parses the captions to form an SRT file
- We finally have a Turkish SRT file to work with
- Sending time slots would be expensive and useless
- Made a copy mechanism to fix this, use only lang
- time slots are copied from src to destination file
- turkish lang sentences are sent to LLM models
- we get back the translated bit (eval for notes/etc)
- and then put them all together in the dest file
- it broke a few times so i had durable execution
- which retained the state and continued from 864 sentence which was a god-send since it's a Sunday and all i really want to do is watch a TV show not build an agent haha
should I open-source this?
Pain driven development is the best kind of development. Shadcn out did himself on this one. Open source sidebar comp of every kind.
โI don't like building sidebars. So I built 30+ of them.โ

One of the toughest challenges in building an AI startup today is that everyone is building everything, instead of what they're good at.
Developers often have a frustrating dev experience with one tool, and it makes them view the whole field negatively, leaving them discouraged.
heck โฆ i got a lot more to say on this
One of the toughest challenges in building an AI startup today is that everyone seems to be building everything, instead of what they're good at.
Developers often get frustrated with a single tool, and that sour experience makes them view the entire field negatively. It's disheartening to see how this leaves many discouraged.
Was talking to a developer the other day who didn't feel he was qualified enough to even give this a shot. What the heck?
One of my core missions as we build Langbase is to make sure developers feel at home when developer modern, cutting edge AI/ML solutions to their business problems.
It's easier said than done in a sea of bad auto-generated code and weird mix of JavaScript devs trying to write Python, and Py devs trying to write JavaScript.
In fact, my deep focus on full-stack and JavaScript developers is a mean to this end, I want JavaScript or let's say web developers to feel like it's okay shipping AI agents with memory in productions without doing a PhD in ML.
If you're a full-stack developer, web or JavaScript developer, I want you to read this and understand, that in this AI LLM space โ you're going to be the biggest benefactor. You'll gain the most from this space.
AI and ML have been around for a while. Sure, self-attention algorithms are the new kids on the block, but it wasn't until APIs for these models were built and products like chatbots (think Claude, ChatGPT) hit the web that things really took off.
Guess, what I'm trynna say is if you're product developer shipping products, you gotta find the frameworks and tools that work best for you instead of switching programming languages, shifting paradigms, forgetting system design, and starting from scratch โ or going down the research path (for the wrong reasons).

One thing I still really enjoy with Google search is sometimes irrelevant links that I find which are super helpful for other issues at hand. Guess thatโs their search index moat.
there's no moat in simply using an LLM anymore! you have to build your own neural architecture, and ship as fast as you can, otherwise you're toast! ruthless competition in this space!
AI agents are fundamentally just intelligent codeโthink of it as code that learns, adapts, and ultimately makes decisions.
LLMs enable us to build AI agents.
And every LLM has a problem.
The universal LLM constraint is that AI knows nothing about proprietary or real-time data.
That's why LLMs hallucinate!
At Langbase, we built Memory Agents โ that solve this problem without creating more problems for you (like limits, hosting, deployments, vector stores โ our memory agents have it all, one API, serverless, scale to billions of instances without fuss).
Developers get a phenomenal developer experience working with our APIs, SDK, or frameworkโwhatever they prefer. There is no vendor lock-in.
What developers are building on Langbase:
1. A new father is building a parental AI app โ that keeps memory agents for each parent/kid interaction in their app.
2. A $200MM ARR company built internal knowledge base assistants to help product, support, and marketing โ stay aligned.
3. An indie maker is building an AI Co-founder on Langbase that uses hundreds of memory agents to continuously track everything a founder needs to know. Yet these agents go to work like co-founders and keep at it, and they don't take equity.
4. A security camera startup has built an assistant that helps its customers ask questions about security incidents. The founder told me that most of the time, people enjoy getting a summary of the entire day/night instead of looking at the raw data. What an absolutely cool use case.
What a time to be alive; it's scary, good, and surreal at the same time.

Iโm seriously blown away by Deepseek R1. Especially coz itโs open source and I can see what itโs thinking vs the gist of thoughts o1 shows.
What an absolute gift to the world.
Thatโs why we built primitive abstractions over frameworks even though we also shipped a framework on popular demand.
Constraints definitely didnโt work. The space and business in this space are huge. Problems are super broad.
How do you define constraints?
AI is creating a whole new wave of jobs.
About 1.5 yrs ago, @swyx wrote "Rise of the AI Engineer".
Around that time I was already on my mission @LangbaseInc to build the best stack for AI Engineersโ primitives over frameworks.
Today, swyx's predictions are 5x accelerated!
Back then, the ratio was 10x more ML Engineer roles vs. AI Engineer, and he predicted it would flip in five years.
Fast-forward 1.5 years, and Indeed is showing:
โ 25,000+ "AI Engineer" openings
๐ฎ 5,000+ "ML Engineer" roles.
Things are moving faster than many predicted.
It's time to build and ship!

I donโt think an agent marketplace play will win in this AI race. I see a lot of VCs and journalists talk about that.
People are buying apps theyโre not buying agents at least not now. I think thatโs what is so different about AI agents than web and mobile app booms back in the day.
People do buy apps. Cursor is an app. I have seen a hundreds of copies of our Explore page at Langbase where people thought we were building a marketplace when we werenโt ever doing that.
It feels off. Like imagine GitHubโs marketplace selling code repos. Nah! Hard pass.
THIS IS HUGE!

@M13Company got stuck in the elevator of your building after the meetup. The help call worked after several tries but they couldnโt hear us. Mic is dead. After over half an hour some kind people helped downstairs you might wanna know. Please have it fixed. Was a scary experience.
Iโm so excited about what we are building at Langbase. The last couple of days I shared it with some phenomenal AI engineers at the AI Eng NY Summit.
The way they described how it will solve most if not all of their problems made everything we have done so far super worth it.
AI primitives for AI engineers โ full stack agent runtime to build and deploy your own agent architecture (yeah you can call it your own framework).
Launching in a couple of weeks as we finalize the UI and API.
Letโs go!!!
I couldnโt agree more. Prompts are an extremely dynamic new paradigm. Iโll share an example that 90% of developers visiting Langbase booth at AIE NY summit didnโt know.
Prompts and their relation to LLMs requires different levels of understanding.
This understanding is generally built when you go to production in your vertical niche.
Itโs why developers end up removing literally every framework from their code eventually (or at least from the meaningful parts of their agentic architecture).
Like how developers feel when they first learn about closure in JavaScript (causing them to either think โJS sucksโ or โwow this is powerfully and dynamicโ).
Hereโs a simple example:
Imagine building an agent that has a prompt where you imply some form of negative negation. Asking an LLM to do one thing and not do another.
LLMs are attention machines with layers of Bayesian optimizations.
Many many times we see that a negative instruction in a prompt leads to this weird wild west behavior from LLMs where they end up negating more things than needed.
LLMs can get confused and become overly sensitive the โdo NOT do thisโ part of your prompt, leading them to not doing other things you wanted done.
This is where not using a framework shines as you can easily make an orchestration agent which provisions โnโ agents at runtime doing one atomic thing at a time and the. A synthesizer (code logic or agent) to aggregate the results.
This is just one silly example โ thereโre are so many new design patterns you discover that are not obvious when you try to think of prompts being just language.
Ah, I feel like I should share more on this, let me know if you want me to share more. We can do a podcast or something.
As a follow up we have published most common agent architectures that can help in 80% of the agents you wanna build without having to rely any framework.
https://t.co/ywfTfTqZMX
Adding a couple more to this next week.
This is insanely powerful yet supa simple!!
LLMs do NOT have memory. Langbase Memory agents fix that.
You can build, deploy, and scale โ millions of memory agents with terabytes of data, and I want to make sure y'all know how they work.

How do you build agentic RAG with TypeScript?
That's exactly what Saad is teaching in this free online, open to all workshop.
๐ Date: March 20, 2025
โฐ Time: 8:30 AM PST
๐ Link below
You will learn how to:
โข Give memory to AI models
โข Get AI to answer qs about your data
โข Ingest documents within AI memory

Register here: https://t.co/IMmm5u80BV
Read more and here's the code + explanation.
https://t.co/TowTGsLbKw
Langbase memory agents represent the next frontier in semantic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) as a serverless and infinitely scalable API designed for developers. 30-50x less expensive than the competition, with industry-leading accuracy in advanced agentic routing, retrieval, and more.
This code implements a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system using Langbase. It creates an AI assistant that can answer questions about company policies by referencing an employee handbook. Here's the breakdown:
Memory Creation:
Establishes a dedicated memory storage space named "employee-handbook-memory"
This serves as the knowledge base for the AI assistant
Document Acquisition:
Downloads an employee handbook from a GitHub repository
Saves it locally as a text file for processing
Knowledge Ingestion:
Uploads the handbook to the previously created memory
The document is now available for the AI to reference when answering questions
AI Assistant Setup:
Creates a specialized pipe named "employee-handbook-pipe"
Links it to the memory containing the employee handbook
Enables the AI to retrieve relevant information when answering questions
Question Answering:
Asks a specific question about remote work policies
The AI searches the handbook in memory for relevant information
Returns an answer based on the actual company policies documented in the handbook
This demonstrates a practical application of RAG - enhancing an AI assistant with specific knowledge from documents, allowing it to provide accurate, document-grounded responses rather than generating answers from its general training.
In a short time @GoogleDeepMind now has some of the best large models, fast models, reasoning models, and all that with most efficient pricing on the market. @JeffDean and team has outdone most everyone.
No wonder Google has become the most used provider on Langbase. https://t.co/XAYeIr9kOT
rag is dead, long live the memory agents โ itโs auto rag.
at langbase we created memory agents years ahead of the market. we struggled a lot when naming this product.
an agent that can use your data and think like a human.
it didnโt feel like just an ai agent, it was more. it felt autonomous so we didnโt wanna call it knowledge base, that would deprive it of the real value.
several sessions with the founding team and Saqib who led the research of both semantic chunking, pre-fixed zookeeper based front-loaded cache semantics, and several autonomous distillations.
one day it hit me that this feels more like human memory, that was a core part of the infra design as well, the self healing, cognitive process sharding, and more.
i said what if we called it memory, like memory agents. almost everyone said people will confuse this with the ram memory.
but slowly we all came around thinking this is the perfect name and we launched experimental memory agents.
in just two months almost every one was calling it memory, later we also saw openai launch memory in chatgpt.
and rest is history. believe this was a good bet. And it continues to grow and evolve.
next week we are launching more on this. watch this space.
memory agents are ai agents that have human like long-term memory.

I donโt get all the hate vibe coding gets either. Itโs far better than the alternative which was nocode drag and drop bs. If I had LLMs growing up, Iโd have vibe coded so much. I studied 26 different programming languages in college just to learn different patterns and techniques of system design and the fact to why we needed that many programming languages.
With LLMs and different tools vibe coding, Iโd have been 100x more productive, would have built and shipped a lot more. I mean I did ship hundreds of open source packages, I practically live off of tens of different CLI projects โ the coders/developers of today will be ahead of us they will be builders. They will be able to build a whole lot more than us.
Thatโs something worth celebrating and to me itโs worth the weight in gold.

Thank you for all y'all's trust. We have shipped 39 new updates, more fixes and improvements on the way. Agent sharing and forking is coming.
Vibe coding is going to replace every no-code low code alternative. For good reason as well. And I would never understand the hate vibe coding gets.
The AI assisted coding and vibe coding are not far too different. Iโm a convert tbh.
Itโs like when tailwind first came out, as someone who always wrote CSS from scratch it took me a while to see how tailwind was not a framework but like an API for css.
I think we are in that phase of vibe coding where a lot of people judge it by the cover.
Thereโs a huge amount of grey area between whatโs vibe coded and whatโs AI assisted coding. Do both.
Both btw are much better than the drag and drop bs nocode and low code alternatives.
With the launch of Chai we have seen tens of thousands of new ai agents being vibe coded both by builders and expert developers.
Everyone is seeing a huge productivity gain here. From builders to developers to product managers everyone is building agents like never before.

Vibe coding is great, but most builders get it wrong.

Cursor, v0, https://t.co/BTfmf6mfEZ, lovable, bolt โ what do they all have in common?
They werenโt built on AI frameworksโthey're built using primitives optimized for speed, scale, and flexibility.
LLMs are evolving fastโlike, literally every week. New standards pop up (looking at you, MCP), and APIs change faster than you can keep track. Frameworks just can't move at this speed.
In this talk, I'll challenge conventional engineering wisdom, sharing my real-world experience scaling thousands of AI agents to handle over 100 million monthly runs.
You'll discover how using AI primitives can dramatically speed up iteration, provide bigger scale, and simplify maintenance.
I'll share eight practical agent architecturesโcovering memory management, auto tool integration, and simple serverless deploymentโto help you quickly build reliable and scalable AI agents.
By the end of this session, you'll clearly see why we must rethink and rebuild our infrastructure and focus on AI-native primitives instead of heavy, bloated, and quickly outdated frameworks.
I wonder if we need another S3-moment but for the AI agent infrastructure.

First Cursor + Windsurf burnt VC money and gave free compute then changed pricing now Claude is doing the same.
This entire pump and dump subscription model is ill-incentivized. This is too much.
No one cares about DX here. This it. I feel motivated to fix this with Command.
LangChain is such a mess, I have no idea why people use it. Day after day, we convert people away from the framework hell to use simple AI primitives. You can just build agents, without any frameworks.
Oh shoot, it's almost 2am, i was having too much fun building a CLI to automate a bunch of my grunt work.
soo excited to show y'all what's coming in Command.
Langbase has hit a new milestone: Context engineering at 700TB scale. ๐ฅณ
Last week, I got a text from a founder at 11pm: "Our agents finally feel alive. They remember our customers better than our sales team." That's the third message like this in a month.
These aren't just agents anymore. They're memory agents - AI with actual long-term memory. Hundreds of thousands of them, in production, all serverless, remembering millions of interactions across terabytes of enterprise data.
When we started Langbase, the impossible challenge was scaling serverless agentic RAG memory for AI agents. Not many believed it was even the right problem to focus on.
โฏโฏ Today our infra has processed 700TB of data.
This is one of those metrics that shows something deeper - agents need memory at scale to be useful. We've quietly built what might be one of the largest context engineering infrastructure in production.
Today, yet another customer went live with thousands of memory agents in production. Agents that actually remember context across millions of interactions and tera bytes of enterprise data. Memory changes everything.
Memory agents are AI agents that have human like long-term memory. You can train AI agents with your data and knowledge base without having to manage vector storage, servers, reasoning engines, fine tunes, or infrastructure. All serverless.
Talk to me if you're looking for full stack memory context engineering in production. New startup? Startup package can help.
Let's go! ๐
More on this: https://t.co/6BuybfIfy6
Memory agent reference architecture: https://t.co/TowTGsLbKw
15 Memory examples:
https://t.co/PPoAfVG1m9
And you can always just ask โ https://t.co/Gdzkzd0lat to build you AI agents with memory and it will both write the code and provision the infra for you.
iโm willing to die on this hill.
Why the best AI agents are built without frameworks. YAGNI.
Cursor, v0, Command, lovable, bolt โ what do they all have in common? They werenโt built on AI frameworksโthey're built using primitives optimized for speed, scale, and flexibility.
Developers: Instead of joining a big company, waiting for weeks to deploy code into production which breaks the site, you should join a startup and break shit every day. ๐ง

i have replaced 90% of chrome extensions, by similar alternatives that I built myself using a new coding agent.
it feels great, i'll hit 100% soon, all extensions, i'd be able to trust, and probably will open source all.
one's i'm truly enjoying are
- one click enable/disable ext (before logging into secure sites like banks)
- Snooze tabs and bring them back (at a schedule or recurring)
- lots of small ones, like json formatter, tampermonkey stuff is completely gone.
Claude code has been terrible lately. Almost as if Anthropic is using a quantized model instead to cope up with the price discounts they offer at $200/mo max plan.
I have not been using it for a while. Again and again my own setup using the raw Claude models beats Claude Code.
Easier said than done but definitely doable. You can build your own framework on top of well built cloud and context primitives.
Without enforcing a framework someone else has built which has to be learned โ context and memory primitives do all.
Want to use your language of choice. Sure.
Want SDKs for TypeScript or Python. Sure.
Want memory, chunking, parsing โ durable workflows literally all that. For sure.
Want a coding agent that builds your agent from simple prompts and you still get full access to code not some AST for drag and drop bs. Yes that too.
We built @LangbaseInc for exactly that reason.
Hereโs my talk on primitive vs frameworks and why none of the production ready and highly scaled agents not using any pre built frameworks.

Building agents is so much more fun when you have complete control. Use Agent Compute and Memory primitives. Simplifying your agentic loop and AI infrastructure.

i don't know what @nikitabier is doing to X and the algorithm, but man lately it's been so much fun. the algo is getting better at ignoring spam. mad kudos!

i'm actually looking forward to the updates next week where we see a lot more bots purged โ things will be fun again.
you donโt need a framework for building agents! Been saying this for a year now.
why do you think none of these famous agents are built on frameworks? you donโt need that bloated mess.
Matt is awesome, listen to what heโs saying.
Check my talk on AI Engineer SF on this.
Perplexity has become really dumb lately, not figuring out what Iโm asking. Just random answers. Iโm on pro plan.

i have been building CLIs my entire adult life. In 2020 I created a coding agent as a cli called clai when Greg Brockman gave me access to gpt3. Now everyone is moving to CLIs. My timing has always been terrible haha but Iโm all for it.
just checked it was july 2020 when i started building my coding agent (without tool calls it was a mess, but it used my existing CLIs)
been building my own coding agent - never thought my entire team @LangbaseInc will start using it, it's getting serious over here.
watch this space next month.
Markdown is an ultimate token slayer, 10x less tokens, 100x happier agents/developers.
CSV is also much better for agent to agent comms instead of json โ we see 20% token reductions.

Until now, every read blocked your database would literally sit there waiting for disk.
Now it doesn't. Perf gains for read-heavy apps are what you'd expect: massive.
It's on by default.
They made everyone's database faster.
Most people think memory is an afterthought in AI agents. Itโs actually the core.
Before, you glued together a DB, some RAG, and caching. It worked, but only barely.
Anything duct-taped like that eventually breaks under growth.
Langbase Memory is different. It makes persistence feel like part of the language itself.
You donโt fight the system. You just write, and it remembers.
Thatโs the test of good infrastructure: when you stop noticing it.
The surprising part is how little code it takes.
Building an agent that feels alive used to take weeks. Now itโs hours.
This changes the shape of experimentation. When the cost of trying drops, the space of whatโs possible expands.
We donโt realize yet how much persistent memory will blur the line between software and living systems.
Langbase Memory is just the beginning of that.
Woke up to a bunch of vibe coding apps calling themselves better than the other when they both just added Supabase.

Unbelievable what we are about to launch next. This is going change how you use AI to write code forever.
I have been building it for five years. And never thought this will be the product.
But it has continued to pay dividends in productivity and speed.
Excited, share soon
come find me at openai devday!
i totally believe that my team at langbase has unlocked the next frontier of โai codingโ. itโs unbelievable that we didnโt have this before.
all my team is using it now. so hard to go back now, and weโre in private alpha already.
will share invite codes. secretly hoping we get the stickers delivered today but itโs looking unlikely.
model labs are everything companies, they wanna eat everybodyโs cake, like in 10-20 years from now, maybe just 10 companies would have everything at this pace. itโs hard to imagine anything they wouldnโt build. whatever makes money; they wanna be both the OS and the Apps.
openai devday killed many startups but we keep getting "would like to congratulate your start up for surviving today!!" messages.
what's wild isn't just that code beats drag and drop for agents. it's that people keep having to learn this lesson over and over.
the fact that openai shipped a drag-and-drop agent builder and it didn't kill us tells you something important about building tools for developers.
we bet on something that seemed obvious to us but apparently wasn't to everyone: developers prefer code. not because we're elitists who like things to be hard. but because code is actually the better interface for this problem.
think about what you're doing when you're building an agent. you're defining complex logic, handling edge cases, composing behaviours.
these are things programming languages were literally invented to handle. drag-and-drop interfaces are good for some things, arranging ui elements, maybe simple workflows. but the moment you need a conditional, or a loop within a loop within a loop (agentic loop), or to handle an error gracefully, you're fighting the tool.
the interesting thing isn't that text-based code is better than drag-and-drop for building agents. it's that this keeps needing to be rediscovered.
every few years someone builds a visual programming tool that's going to replace code. they never do. not because they're badly made, but because they're solving the wrong problem.
the difficulty in programming isn't typing. it's thinking clearly about what you want the computer to do. and it turns out that text - plain, boring text - is still the best interface we've found for that kind of thinking.
text based code (agent) >>>>> drag & drop simpleton.

just shipped a cli for datemath ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
โฏ npx datemath-cli <command>
a beautiful command-line tool for date calculations in natural language. calculate days between dates, add/subtract time periods, and get human-readable date information.
i've been opening sheets to calculate dates for years. how many days until this ships? when did we start? it's 2025 and i'm still context-switching to sheets for arithmetic.
so i built datemath-cli. the friction is real. i'm in the terminal, i need to know "how many weeks since we launched?" and i don't want to leave.
`datemath since 2025-01-01` and i know. no windows, no tabs, no "ah what's the date math here..."
added an interactive mode because sometimes i'm not sure what i need. `npx datemath-cli`
with a nice hint on how to one-shot it next time.
the verbose flag is my favorite. instead of "289 days" i get "289 days = 41 weeks = 9 months, 19 days" in one shot. because i know i'll wonder "how many weeks?" two seconds later.
$ npx datemath-cli
โฆ it's just date math.

@CloudflareDev @dok2001 can y'all just post back only the errors part from the pages/workers build to the github PR so my agent can address that?

Then copy paste that to the agent

@mitchellh ghosty is pretty awesome, thinking of moving to it from iTerm2.
Loved that it came packed with my Shades of Purple theme.
One thing, if i have same name folder and symlink or cli
say

But then if I add / at the end to open this folder
ghostty adds an extra space making it

Agents are not trained. LLMs are trained. Stop inventing weird philosophical theories that donโt exist.
LLMs have seen most every type of CLIs in their training data. They are super good at using them. Sometimes even beating tool calling. Code mode wins.
MCPs are a far cry from being a standard. Theyโre a spec, most of the times that spec does more harm than good. Over complicating and unnecessary.
MCPs are also new. LLMs have not seen them in the last 40 yrs of training data unlike CLIs.
Wrong. Every CLI can do that
$ cli โhelp
And then LLMs are smart enough to know what to call and when. They have seen 40+ years of training data of CLIs are used.
CLIs are making a huge comeback and Iโm all for it.
Iโve been a fan of terminal apps or CLIs for over two decades now. Terminal made me scared in late 90โs when I started messing around with it.
By 2010 terminal had become my friend. I had started building so many automation apps that work felt like fun.
By 2020 I had launched a 100 video five hours course with 21 CLI projects to help developers adopt this beast of a thing.
Infact the first ever app I made with GPT back in 2020 whne I got access for a coding agent as a cli called โclaiโ iykyk.
Super excited about 2026 being the year of CLIs, where terminal apps will make a huge comeback.

Devs, I'm hosting an AI Developers Meetup in Lahore, this Saturday 13th, 3pm. Come meet me, and the team,
I'll be talking about the state AI development and a major product launch, what we spent last 18 months on.
If you're a developer in Lahore, you'd not want to miss this event. We got a limited space (100-150), register early, so we can approve your registration in time by mid day tomorrow.
Registration link below.
P@SHA invited me to deliver a solo keynote to 40 founders & CTOs on product learnings from building & scaling Langbase x https://t.co/NOvJ70O8QA. AI products that now handle billions of agent runs and ~750TB of vector memory every month.
The session was hosted by Usman Akbar (CEO, PureLogics; Chair, P@SHA Startups and Entrepreneurship Committee) and sponsored by BearPlex. Thank you both for making it happen.
Loved meeting builders from startups and scaleups. Many came from companies with 70 โ 450 team members.
The questions were practical and a little impatient, in a good way, kind you get from builders who are actually shipping.
If that keeps up, Pakistan tech industry is going to produce more surprisingly strong products than most people expect.
Weโre already seeing it: Imagine Art scaling to $30M ARR by Ahmed Abubakar, and founders like Sualeh Asif (Cursor, $29B), and Ovais Tariq (Tigris Data).
Thank you Pakistan IT Industry Association (P@SHA) and the tech leaders who stayed for a four-hour deep dive plus panel Q&A.
We talked about collaboration, radical transparency, building in public, and the unglamorous part: building real AI products fast enough to keep adapting.
Happy new year!
2026 is going to be the year of code. I have never been more excited about the work we do. Itโs a privilege to be able to build share dev tools I always wanted to exist.
Software engineering is changing faster than any of us can really predict. I think the entire education degree will become just one year of basics across 10-20 programming languages.
And of course lots of LLM usage. That's what the future of CS education feels like. Here's what made me think about this:
I wasted the last three days coding with Haiku thinking it was Opus. Now getting back to Opus, and can't shake the feeling of how back in the day I used to force myself to use 3G connection on my own sites to feel the pain of slow websites.
But this is a fantastic eval for testing how good or back both Haiku and Opus models are. Time will tell, but I can already feel like I'm talking to a Senior Engineer when using Opus (which is what I was using last week, or I hope, _goes to check logs_).
We have yet to experience what this new paradigm is gonna bring, I see my feed filled with amazing projects left and right.
CLIs are cheaper and more accurate to use for models than plain APIs or silly MCPs.
Many teams are already validating this. We have had similar if not better results throughout the last year internally.
Never add file tree structure to your agents md files. Itโs a bad idea.
This is generally a core service of every coding agent that they can discover things on their own.
File structure is the first thing that will go stale. You donโt want that.
So many different strategies exist on how to discover relevant file trace and path. Trying to put a static one will just impact your agents ability to do just about anything.
At the very least it will misguide your agents and waste tokens.
While building @CommandCodeAI we ran several benchmarks and found agent accuracy, speed, and most importantly costs were badly impacted by stale file structure in agents md files.
Itโs much better if developers let the coding agents figure things out in their own. Unless there is a specific issue youโre facing again and again.
Otherwise adding file structure roughly translates into teaching LLMs how to write code when they already know how to do it.
You donโt change how your agentic loop works so you shouldnโt change how discovery works.
Whenever I see file structure explained in agents md files I interpret as LLMs hallucinations combined with developer misunderstanding of how agents work.
Genuine question for devs using coding agents:
How many times a week do you correct your coding agent?
> Wrong package manager.
> Wrong file naming.
> Wrong framework assumptions.
Feels like we're missing something obvious here.
I work with 5-10 instances of Claud Code, Command Code, OpenCode all running in parallel on the same repo.
Here's my workflow:
Just shipped v2.0 of my workflow manager CLI `gwtree`
$ npx gwtree
And you can easily create and manage 10+ git worktrees effortlessly.
It changes how you work with AI coding agents.
We're all running multiple AI agents now. Claude Code fixing auth. Command Code building APIs. Cursor on the frontend. Although I hardly ever use Cursor.
But git wasn't built for this. You're constantly:
- Stashing changes
- Switching branches
- Resolving conflicts
- Losing context
`gwtree` v2 fixes this entirely.
One command:
$ gwt auth api dashboard
This creates 3 isolated worktrees instantly.
Each agent gets its own sandbox.
No conflicts. No stashing.
You can have one git worktree per Ralph task as well. Depending upon how you write code.
What's new in v2:
โธ BATCH CREATION
$ gwt auth api dashboard
# spins up multiple worktrees in seconds
โธ STATUS DASHBOARD
$ gwt status
# see all worktrees, changes, commits ahead/behind
โธ SMART CLEANUP
$ gwt clean
# auto-removes merged worktrees
โธ ONE-COMMAND MERGE
$ gwt merge feature
# merges to main, removes worktree, deletes branch
โธ SKIP EDITOR FLAG
$ gwt feature -x
# no VS Code popups interrupting your flow
The workflow:
1. gwt auth api dashboard -x (create 3 worktrees)
2. Point each AI agent at a different folder
3. Let them cook
4. gwt status (check progress)
5. gwt merge auth (ship it)
6. gwt clean (cleanup)
I have never had this much fun writing code, this workflow is extremely powerful yet simple.
I have one more thing, I'm cooking, a way to create tasks, this is a step before your Ralph loops. Excited to share that soon.
Let's go!
$ npx gwtree
OR
$ npm i -g gwtree
$ gwt
And yes, share what's you multi-agent workflow is like?
AI code is tough on Senior engineers.
I had this realization.
Senior engineers need to unlearn a lot of things about how they used to build stuff back in the day.
It used to take time to learn new tech, build workflows, deeper understanding, and so much more. I mean so much monkey patching to accomplish basic stuff.
Itโs the same thing I had to do when I moved from CSS from scratch to Tailwind.
Your 90% code should now be written by AI. In parallel to more code at the same time. I do 5x parallel coding all the time now.
If it took you weeks or months to build that strong backend feature, thatโs not the case today. Junior engineers donโt feel the mental block we do.
Itโs like when I learned to edit videos it was extremely hard to animate things in a good flow. Now almost every other creator has simple tools to accomplish complex animations while I donโt do videos to avoid the stress of video animations I felt 15 years ago.
I realize more and more that coding is going through the same shift now. That scalable Kubernetes infrastructure I painstakingly setup in 2017 which was super hard to manage for my courses is now both much easier to build and manage today using coding agents.
But the mental post traumatic stress I have from when tooling wasnโt great stops me from setting up a lot more of those today.
I met a young 20 something who has a dozen Kubernetes setups running. Heโs managing them with Claude Code, Command Code, OpenCode, and a couple other coding agents.
In the interview he was able to compare all these agents while I was passing through an โoh shootโ moment.
So, if youโre a senior engineer you may have the same blind spot, too.
Redo everything complex and find out how fast things are changing. You have to be and you can be a whole lot more ambitious today than ever.
What a time to be alive.
Do y'all have anything against pure functions?
Genuine question for devs using coding agents to write over 90% of their code.
AI writes massive functions, that are hard to understand and reason about quickly.
I find myself asking Command to keep everything modular and use pure functions.
This way I can keep the cognitive load lower, test easily, see what each fn is doing, and then finally read the entire logic.
I'm quite enjoying this workflow.
Do y'all have anything against pure functions?

things senior devs should be unlearning โฆ
"learning a new stack takes months" - no it doesn't. you can ship something meaningful in a new language by end of day. the agent already knows it.
"i need to deeply understand before i build" - you don't. build first, understanding comes from reading what the agent wrote. flip the order.
"single threaded developers: one thing at a time" - wrong. 5 parallel sessions. let them all cook. context switching is cheap when you're not the one holding the context.
"i already know the hard way" - that trauma is now a handicap. the hard way doesn't exist anymore. you're avoiding things that aren't painful anymore.
"90% of my value is writing code" - your value is taste, architecture, knowing what to build. the typing part got commoditized. adjust.
I hear a lot of junior developers are being discouraged from using ai coding agents by seniors who still think ai isnโt capable enough.
This is absolutely wrong.
There other reasons I hear often that juniors should build better understanding of systems instead of over relying on ai.
I couldnโt disagree more.
The first time i learned to write a for loop was actually by looking at that code. Watching it execute. And then way later understanding how it actually worked.
You learn more by building than by anything else.
For years Iโd encourage junior devs to build ten projects a month.
You learn by building. By deploying real solutions to problems. Especially when a couple of people start using it. Thatโs where the learning begins.
I built a title case headline maker like 20 years ago to learn regex in JavaScript. That silly thing is used by journalists of many major publishers (i started recording events so i know).
And building real world projects used to be extremely hard for juniors. Often theyโd give up mid way.
I have seen CS grads leave this field thinking theyโre never going to be great programmers.
This has completely changed today.
Programming is not the bottleneck anymore.
You can build hundreds of silly projects in a week. Deploy and share them.
You should read the source code. And yes itโs fine to not know or not understand everything before you make it live for your side projects.
Thatโs how you learn. You now have the ability to front load years worth of mistakes & learning before you go build real production systems.
This is amazing for learning, for building portfolio, for deepening your understanding of how the tech stack works.
You can easily improve legacy systems. You toy around with different ideas and translate them into โI think it should be done this wayโ projects.
You should write a whole lot more code today. 10x more.
You should build new workflows that many senior engineers have not even thought about.
This is a crazy time for anyone who wants to learn fast and build great things.
Do NOT hold yourself back on the account of someone whoโs never done it. (Many seniors have not done parallel coding of say five projects with five coding agent at the same time. The workflow is absolutely different than what any one of us was ever used to).
Go build.
Use your code for good.
My new workflow as a founder who writes a lot of code.
Founder Mode: 20 min meetings
Developer Mode: 10 mins between meetings
I love writing code and with Command Code, I've been shipping all day and all night.
Between meetings, during lunch, and I've built a habit of stacking 10-15 tasks by bedtime so Command Code keeps grinding with my coding taste.
This is the most productive I have ever been, especially when traveling as well.
How are you changing your engineering workflows?
hey everyone, just launched qasai โ the local-first image optimization CLI that crushes files with powerhouse engines like mozjpeg, pngquant, svgo, and sharp.
$ npx qasai
$ npx skills ahmadawais/qasai
built it cuz i was done with bloated SaaS, cloud lock-in, and per-byte billing. runs fully offline: lossless/lossy modes for jpg/png/gif/svg/webp/avif, recursive batching with .gitignore smarts, resizing, and format conversion.
works on any images as you can imagine.
slashed 35%+ off my siteโs asset sizes with no quality hit. hooks right into git pre-commits, ai workflows, or quick runs.
no keys, no tracking, no subs โ pure cli speed.
and of course thereโs an agent skill for all your coding agents.
try it and share your compression wins? how much bloat you ditching in 2026 lol.
fun-fact: qasai means butcher in urdu.
ai is intellectually attractive, but it can be psychologically costly.
iโve noticed something after working with coding agents:
some days i get a month of work done in a day. other days iโm stuck in a โdays in a monthโ loop, mostly because there are too many good options and i keep deferring the final call.
the biggest change is that iโm not writing code from muscle memory the same way. iโm steering. reviewing. selecting. itโs not my code, itโs code like mine. which means a lot more small decisions move from automatic to explicit.
whatโs helping is building my own taste and workflow instead of borrowing the agentโs. a simple loop: be clear about intent, ask for a few options, pick one, add constraints, ship, then reflect.
this is also why i believe we could really use neuro-symbolic constraints continuously learning our taste.
ai makes output cheap. taste is the new cost and very much a skill.
just shipped `npx qasai` v0.1.0, the image compression cli that doesn't lie about file sizes anymore ๐ค
new flags:
-D dry run (for the anxious)
-Q quiet mode (for scripts)
-P parallel processing (go fast)
-B backup (for the paranoid)
-S skip existing (be lazy)
--json (for your coding agents)
$ npx qasai
what else should i add?
I have accidentally invented a new cli based workflow which is making our internal work much easier to understand and manage.
Imma open source it next month.
IDEs feel old, bloated, and pretty heavy. CLIs were never really done well. Now theyโre. I think the opposite will happen. More and more developers will switch away from IDEs seeking absolute control.
My coding patterns are changing more than ever.
Iโve been writing a lot of Swift code lately. Itโs unbelievable how fast I have been able to ship some really amazing personal use apps that I always thought existed.
Iโm gonna code my personal tax assistant too as I file my taxes this year.
The most fun thing in all this is being able to do it all with my coding taste. Almost feels like vibe coding with the knowledge I have accumulated over the years ~2 decades.
I find all the moltbros posting about extremely unimpressive and sloppy posts by their agents super weird.
We have had agents posting sloppy content for three years now. Whatโs the new big deal.
Especially when the agents are very clearly being promoted by humans or their prompts/skills files.
Since when has giving an unreliable agent access to all your files and systems/mails especially with poorly vibe coded software has become a good idea?
What the heck is going on? This is a new low. Humans with no taste appreciating slop thatโs spreading like cancer.
I seriously donโt think this is in any way novel or interesting. Subpar hype focused on unimpressive results and slop-adjacent use cases.

I'm building a JIT Differential Rendering engine for a new TUI framework that'll power Command Code.
you have exactly 16ms before your eyes detect the flicker. Instead of clearโredraw, we diff X/Y coordinates and surgically update only changed lines.
Result: sub-frame updates, zero flicker
THE MATH
1 second = 1000ms
1000ms / 60 FPS = 16.67ms
You have 16ms. Funny how my electrical engineering degree is coming in play here. 60 FPS = 60 Hz (get it?).
THE TIMELINE
0ms 16ms 32ms
| | |
[F1] [F 2] [F3][...]
Miss the window = flicker
WHY 60?
US power = 60Hz
CRTs synced to it
Standard won globally
FRAME BUDGET
30Hz = 33ms
60Hz = 16ms <-- standard
120Hz = 8ms
THE FLICKER PROBLEM
BAD:
ERASE-----gap-----WRITE
0ms 10ms 20ms
^
refresh here = BLANK
GOOD:
ERASE+WRITE
0ms 2ms
^
done before refresh
PROBABILITY
P(flicker) = gap / 16ms
0ms = 0%
1ms = 6%
8ms = 48%
16ms = 96%
THE TECHNIQUE
Standard: clear all, redraw all
JIT Diff: find diff && delta, update delta
Frame N Frame N+1
--------- ---------
? Name ? Name <- same
> hell > hello <- delta
Only line 2 redraws
if prev[y] != next[y]
move cursor to y
erase line y
write next[y]
X/Y targeting. Surgical. Sub-frame re-render.
There's a lot more that goes into this. Pretty exciting work.

Claude Opus 4.6 & GPT-5.3-Codex are here. The AI labs dog fight is at its peak right now.
Iโve been testing both models and theyโre both super impressive. It feels like GPT-5.3-Codex is more like Opus 4.5 while Opus 4.6 is more like GPT-5.2-Codex.
Shipping in Command Code!
I'm proud to be an early angel investor in Daytona.
Every AI agent needs a micro computer. Not a container, not a mac-mini, not a VM, a composable, sandboxed micro computer (a microVM) it can actually use. That's what Daytona builds.
Ivan's been building dev infrastructure from first principles for a decade. Most founders in this space discovered it last year. Daytona's gonna grow at a wild pace in 2026 and beyond. Congrats!

426 tests across 19 files. zero failures after a massive refactor. not because i'm careful - because pure functions are trivially testable. OOP devs will call this luck. broke a 1000+ line file into a modular directory today. separate command files, separate service files, clear boundaries. the old file was doing everything and therefore was responsible for nothing.
deleted every else from an entire module today. no else, no switch, just if guards and early returns. code reads top to bottom now like a checklist not a maze. your codebase mostly doesn't need else, you just think it does.
converted 3 classes to pure functions. no this, no new, no constructor, no state. just data in, data out. turns out the classes were already stateless - they were just cosplaying as OOP.
hot take: if your class has no mutable fields and no constructor args, it's not a class. it's a namespace wearing a trench coat pretending to be an object. convert it to a module a pure function and move on.

broke a 1000+ line file into a modular directory today. separate command files, separate service files, clear boundaries. the old file was doing everything and therefore was responsible for nothing.
i'm really enjoying if-guard-clausing my code. replaced all polymorphic dispatch helpers with explicit if-guard calls. "but you lost the abstraction!" - brother, the abstraction was a function that picked between two other functions. that's not architecture, that's indecision with extra steps.
the best refactors are the boring ones. no new features, no clever tricks, same exact behavior, same exact tests passing. if your PR is exciting you probably broke something.
shoot itโs midnight. first time in my life i have 29 agents running in parallel building Command with Command.
this is unbelievable. engineering pace and workflow is drastically different than anything i did last year.
super excited about next week. must sleep.
Every developer in the world is realizing how hard open source developers worked, first putting out a free/open package and then reviewing hundreds of PRs for free I must add.
I got ~500 package open sourced before all the AI boom. The amount of effort required to review software has been insane.
A developer told me heโs finding it hard to review code daily. And I was yeah welcome to my life for past ten or so years.
I hope this makes developers in general a bit more empathetic towards maintainers.

terminal output can have hyperlinks
your draft ID text can be a clickable link to the web app
most CLIs ignore this. the ones that don't feel magical.
use `terminal-link` npm pkg. takes 5 minutes. ship it.
I have lost the ability to follow a tutorial, that says open this, click there, press that button.
Do it yourself for me, or have my agent do it.
Every service out there needs to be an API/CLI so my agent can do whatever I want.
the best code you write this week will probably be a deletion
not a clever abstraction. not a new feature. one line removed from a teardown function that was quietly causing exit code 1 after passing tests.
subtraction is underrated in engineering. it's underrated in startups too.
Node.js 24 changed how `events.once()` cleans up listeners
nobody told my teardown function
wasted a bunch of time today fixing tests.

i find that if i don't restrict myself to 30mins per task, considering i'm doing 20+ parallel agents (weird new workflow from three in parallel) i get distracted and after 15 hrs of work i hardly ship 5 or so prs.
or in some cases i bring in a lot of scoop creep. turns out restricting yourself to 30 mins per pr when working with agents is a great hack.
how are y'all dealing with doing too much at the same time and context switching problems when running parallel agents?
i do love this new workflow though, might end up shipping 70+ prs in a week (most are medium sized btw so no one file per pr).

I am seriously getting lost in ten at times twenty different VS Code windows, tens of work fees, different branches, different agents been thinking about color coding at all. How's everybody managing it?
I honestly cannot believe how much code I have shipped today. I think today has been probably one of the most productive days. Last 48 hours, 80 PRs.
My workflow is absolutely changed. This is not the type of engineering I'm used to. And I don't say this lightly.
I have written hundreds of open source software. I think I have like over a thousand GitHub repositories. this is a huge step function. I'm really excited about this new workflow. I can't wait to share.

Taste is the biggest engineering moat for you & your team.
Iโve been experimenting with a new workflow, and it has dramatically increased my productivity as a developer.
Iโm planning to document the entire process and share it more broadly, because I think weโre collectively still early in understanding how to work effectively in this new paradigm.
Typing speed is dead. Boilerplate is dead. โLines of codeโ as a metric is dead. Your ability to steer LLMs is proportional to the time and energy spent on building your coding taste.
We're passing through a time where code is abundant and taste is scarce.
There are still questions Iโm obsessing over. How do you train your brain to context switch across ten branches, twenty worktrees, and multiple agents without losing coherence? How do you maintain a clean internal map of a constantly shifting system when generation is effectively free?
At any given moment, I might be juggling ten or twenty VS Code windows, dozens of worktrees, multiple branches, and several agents running in parallel. Itโs easy to lose the thread. Iโve even considered systematic color coding just to reduce cognitive load. Iโm curious how others are managing this level of parallelism.
Iโve been building internal tooling to support this workflow, and Iโm excited to launch it next week.
A big part of how I think about this is something I call taste driven development.
In a world where code generation is abundant, the bottleneck shifts. Itโs no longer about how fast you can type. Itโs about judgment. Itโs about taste.
Every developer has an internal reward model trained over years. How you name variables. When you extract a function. Which abstractions you tolerate. What โcleanโ feels like. That invisible structure is your real edge.
The interesting dynamic is that the more you code in this setup, the more your coding agent learns you. It observes which diffs you accept, which ones you rewrite, how you name things, how you structure modules, what abstractions you consistently prefer. Over time, it begins to condition on your priors. It starts to approximate your aesthetic.
You are not just writing software. You are operating one level above the syntax.
This creates a feedback loop. Your taste shapes the agent. The agent accelerates your output. Increased output exposes you to more design decisions, which sharpens your taste. The system increasingly produces code that looks like something you would have written yourself.
Coding has become fun again in a very pure sense. Youโre not just implementing functions. Youโre orchestrating systems. Youโre shaping abstractions. Youโre steering.
For me, this shift has been genuinely transformative. After building over a thousand repositories and a few hundred open source projects, I did not expect to feel this kind of step function again. But the ceiling has moved.
My strong prior is that many services with heavy, complicated UIs will eventually collapse into simple APIs paired with excellent CLIs. The UI becomes optional.
While API is the product, CLI is the power tool. Iโve been building CLIs for a long time, and even created a course, nodecli[.]com, to teach developers how to build their own. My GitHub README probably lists seventy or eighty of them.
Whatโs becoming clear is that agentic engineering is qualitatively different from traditional software engineering. Itโs not just a faster autocomplete. The experience of flow changes.
You spend more time reasoning about system design, decomposition, naming, and orchestration. The mechanics shift upward a level. Even constraints like model context windows and caching behavior start influencing how you structure your projects and workflows.
In the past 48 hours, Iโve opened around eighty pull requests. These arenโt trivial one file changes. Theyโre medium sized and sometimes very large diffs. Of course, this isnโt a solo endeavor. My team reviews everything deeply. The leverage comes from combining human judgment with automated generation.
This feels like a phase transition. When production cost approaches zero, differentiation comes from taste.
Weโre about to ship something that leans directly into this idea.
Itโs an extraordinary moment to be building software.
Taste is the biggest engineering moat for you & your team.
Iโve been experimenting with a new workflow, and it has dramatically increased my productivity as a developer.
Iโm planning to document the entire process and share it more broadly, because I think weโre collectively still early in understanding how to work effectively in this new paradigm.
Typing speed is dead. Boilerplate is dead. โLines of codeโ as a metric is dead. Your ability to steer LLMs is proportional to the time and energy spent on building your coding taste.
We're passing through a time where code is abundant and taste is scarce.
There are still questions Iโm obsessing over. How do you train your brain to context switch across ten branches, twenty worktrees, and multiple agents without losing coherence? How do you maintain a clean internal map of a constantly shifting system when generation is effectively free?
At any given moment, I might be juggling ten or twenty VS Code windows, dozens of worktrees, multiple branches, and several agents running in parallel. Itโs easy to lose the thread. Iโve even considered systematic color coding just to reduce cognitive load. Iโm curious how others are managing this level of parallelism.
Iโve been building internal tooling to support this workflow, and Iโm excited to launch it next week.
A big part of how I think about this is something I call taste driven development.
In a world where code generation is abundant, the bottleneck shifts. Itโs no longer about how fast you can type. Itโs about judgment. Itโs about taste.
Every developer has an internal reward model trained over years. How you name variables. When you extract a function. Which abstractions you tolerate. What โcleanโ feels like. That invisible structure is your real edge.
The interesting dynamic is that the more you code in this setup, the more your coding agent learns you. It observes which diffs you accept, which ones you rewrite, how you name things, how you structure modules, what abstractions you consistently prefer. Over time, it begins to condition on your priors. It starts to approximate your aesthetic.
You are not just writing software. You are operating one level above the syntax.
This creates a feedback loop. Your taste shapes the agent. The agent accelerates your output. Increased output exposes you to more design decisions, which sharpens your taste. The system increasingly produces code that looks like something you would have written yourself.

Is this what AI ads look like. Bullcrap.
I was talking to Perplexity pro about making iphone apps and it started pitching itself to me instead of answering my question.
No taste. Just slop. https://t.co/h2F9b4j9Fz
man this is exactly the thing that's been eating at me too.
"Getting everything I ask for and nothing I want" is the most accurate description of AI coding nowadays. i hate the fact that llms are statistical average of the internet's code. even if the code is correct. it's never yours.
this pushed me to build @CommandCodeAI. a coding agent that learns my coding taste, to code like me.
for me, it's the little things, this package vs that package. doesn't know i prefer Commander.js over yargs.
it doesn't know any of the thousands of micro-decisions i've built up over 25 years of actually writing code.
and no none of the rules files fix it. you write them once, your codebase evolves 100 times, now they're conflicting to have.
i saw theo made a video on deleting agents/claud md files, i never liked these files so never really had them.
i think you shouldn't feel odd. the tooling is broken, not you. the problem isn't that you can't vibe code. the problem is no agent has ever bothered to learn how YOU code.
i was literally focused on this problem for 18+ months, and just launched command code to do just that. learn my coding taste.
and fun fact transformers ended up being the issue, so went with meta neuro-symbolic ai model arch. which is mostly use in aviation so have stricter guardrails.
coding agent that watches your accepts, rejects, and edits and builds your coding taste over time. so the output stops feeling like someone else's code you're babysitting.
internally we've been calling it taste driven development, but to me its personalization of a coding agent.
not gonna drop links here, it's pinned on my profile if y'all're curious.
but honestly just wanted to say: you're not crazy for feeling this. The "everyone on twitter is shipping with vibes" thing is odd and weird.
the people who care about their craft are all feeling this exact same thing quietly.
Coding with taste is awesome!
Yesterday, we launched Command Code.
The first coding agent that builds both software and your coding taste. There's nothing like this atm.
Command Code uses:
- LLMs (claude opus/sonnet/haiku) for coding.
- MNS (taste-1 model) for learning/managing your taste.
Thousands of developers have started using it already.
I recorded a quick video on how it works.
And if you used Claude Code or Codex in the same project, Command Code will offer to learn your coding taste from your previous sessions.
Many developers have shared a bunch of fun things they found in their preferred engineering taste, that wasn't apparent to them before and cmd picked up on it.
What's your coding taste like?
$ npm i -g command-code
Run this in a project and find out.
Most common reaction we're getting on @CommandCodeAI is that it's unlike anything that existed before.
Completely new taste driven development workflow.
Check the launch https://t.co/9g6shIkNBM
A developer installed Command Code, pointed it at a new project, and started coding like they normally do.
For the first few hours, it was just another AI coding agent. Correct output. Generic patterns. The usual.
By day three, something shifted. The agent stopped suggesting console.log for debugging and started using the developer's custom logger. It stopped generating default exports and switched to named exports. It started structuring tests the way this specific developer structures tests.
Nobody told it to do any of this.
This is the part that fascinates me most: the learning loop mirrors how a junior developer absorbs a senior's style by pair programming. It watches. It picks up patterns. It adjusts. Except it does it from every accept, reject, and edit, continuously.
We measured the correction loops. Week one, developers were making 1.5 edits per suggestion. By month one, it dropped to 0.3. The agent was generating code that looked like theirs on the first pass.
We're approaching a world where developers work alongside AI agents for most of their output. And when that happens, the differentiator between useful AI and frustrating AI comes down to one thing:
Whether the agent knows your coding taste.
Correctness was the first problem to solve. Every model can do that now. The next problem is alignment to the individual.
How you name things. When you extract helpers. Which abstractions you reach for. The thousand micro-decisions that make code feel like yours versus feel like you're babysitting someone else's work.
That said, I'm always honest about where we are. This is early. The system learns patterns, not intentions. It won't anticipate architectural decisions you've never shown it.
And taste is easier to capture for some patterns (naming, structure, formatting) than others (when to introduce a new abstraction, how to handle novel edge cases). We're not pretending this is solved.
But the trajectory is clear. Rules files decay. Fine-tuning is too expensive to update continuously. Skills give every developer the same output. None of these approaches treat your behavior as a signal.
The developer who has an AI agent that actually codes like them, that compounds their taste over weeks and months, is going to ship faster with fewer correction loops than someone fighting generic output every day.
That gap compounds. And it compounds fast.
We built Command Code for exactly this.
npm i -g command-code if you want to see it yourself.
Introducing `terminui` ๐
A fast, double buffered toolkit for building terminal UIs.
I wanted a TUI toolkit with a small core model, predictable double buffered rendering (only changed cells flush), and strict types.
Built with Command Code.
Core pipeline:
Backend -> Terminal -> Frame -> Buffer -> Cells
Widgets are pure render functions:
`(area: Rect, buf: Buffer) => void`
No classes, no `this`, no hidden mutable UI tree.
$ pnpm add terminui
$ npm i terminui
Frame loop is intentionally minimal:
1) render into current buffer
2) diff previous vs current (`bufferDiff`)
3) draw only changed cells
4) flush
5) swap buffers
6) clear next write buffer
So terminal I/O scales with what changed, not with full screen size every frame.
Cell model is tiny but expressive:
- `symbol`
- `fg` / `bg` / optional `underlineColor`
- `modifier` bitmask
Diffs are structural (symbol + colors + modifiers), so unchanged cells never hit the draw path.
Wide-char correctness is built in (CJK/fullwidth).
`charWidth(codePoint)` detects width-2 glyphs, and writes a placeholder empty cell after them, which keeps cursor math, wrapping, and diffs stable across frames.
Layout uses a small constraint solver:
`Length`, `Percentage`, `Ratio`, `Min`, `Max`, `Fill`
`splitLayout` does two passes:
- resolve non-fill constraints first
- distribute remaining space by fill weights
Then leftover cells go to the last fill chunk for deterministic results.
Style system:
- named ANSI colors + indexed(0..255) + 24-bit RGB
- modifier bitflags (bold, italic, underline, etc)
- additive/subtractive modifier composition via `patchStyle`
This makes style composition functional and predictable.
Built-in widgets:
Block, Paragraph, List, Table, Gauge, LineGauge, Tabs, Sparkline, BarChart, Scrollbar, Clear
Stateful renderers exist where they should (selection/offset state), while rendering stays pure.
Backend contract is deliberately tiny:
`size`, `draw`, `flush`, `clear`, cursor get/set + hide/show
So you can swap in a Node backend, a test backend, or custom transport without changing widget code.
Examples include:
- primary-screen dashboard
- alternate-screen multi-frame simulation
- kitchen-sink demo (all widgets + constraints + styles)
- live and one-shot weather dashboard (Open-Meteo)
Type safety baseline:
`strict: true`, `noUncheckedIndexedAccess: true`, zero `any`.
If you build TUIs in TS and want composable primitives, try it:
$ pnpm add terminui
$ npm i terminui
Build something and share with me. :)
new: terminui now has a JSX layer (v: 0.3.0).
This is not โReact in terminalโ with a hidden reconciler.
It is a thin authoring layer over the same deterministic core.
Whatโs new:
- JSX runtime support (jsx, jsxs, Fragment) with strict TS typing.
- Terminal-native JSX renderer and helpers:
- terminalDrawJsx(...)
- terminalLoopJsx(...)
- React-like primitives/aliases:
- Column / Row
- Panel / Box
- Label / Text
- Shorthand props for ergonomics:
- gap, p/px/py, fg/bg, bold, title, border
- New examples:
- jsx-hello.tsx
- jsx-dashboard.tsx
- jsx-chatbot.tsx (interactive, alternate-screen, arrow-key chat scroll)
The important part: performance model is unchanged.
JSX -> widget render calls -> Frame -> Buffer -> bufferDiff -> draw changed cells only
No mutable UI tree.
No full-screen repaint loop.
No loss of wide-char correctness.
So you get much better authoring DX while preserving the exact terminal rendering guarantees that terminui was built for.
most documentation landing pages fail the squint test
if i can't tell what your tool does in 3 seconds with my eyes half-closed, you already lost me
documentation that looks like a product gets read
documentation that looks like an afterthought gets skipped
just redesigned Command Code's docs with that in mind, I think it looks fantastic.

Introducing `grepts` ๐
A fast TypeScript grep - ripgrep reimagined for Node.js.
I kept spawning ripgrep from Node.js and watching 5ms vanish per call. Fork, exec, pipe, parse stdout. So I built a grep that runs as a function call. 17ฮผs.
Built with Command Code.
$ npm i grepts
$ pnpm i grepts
Pipeline:
node โโforkโโโบ sh โโexecโโโบ rg
pipe stdout back
parse string output
~7.6ms per call
grepts from Node.js:
node โโโบ search()
same process
same V8 heap
~17ฮผs per call
1 search: who cares
100 searches: 760ms vs 1.7ms
1000 searches: 7.6s vs 17ms
Two search paths, picked at runtime:
1) Literal fast path: pattern has no regex metacharacters? Drops to `indexOf` scanning. No RegExp allocated. Line numbers tracked incrementally in one forward pass.
2) Regex path: `searchForwardScan()` walks by `\n`, runs `regex.exec()` per line. One pass, no line array allocation.
Walker uses `readdirSync` with `withFileTypes: true` (Dirent objects, no extra `stat` calls).
Binary detection is Set lookup by extension, O(1).
`.gitignore` handling is hierarchical: each dir inherits parent's ignore instance, reuses it if no local `.gitignore` exists.
Async mode: worker pool (`Math.min(cpus().length, 10)`), files chunked across workers.
Fallback: 64-way concurrent `readFile` with manual backpressure.
Per-invocation cost:
grepts (in-process) 17ฮผs ๐ค
ripgrep (subprocess) 7.6ms
grep (subprocess) 5.9ms
435x less overhead vs ripgrep. 1000 searches:
16ms vs 7.6s.
`grepts-async` beats ripgrep 1.34x on common patterns, 3.33x on large files. Worker pool saturates I/O without subprocess setup per query.
```
import { search, searchOptionsSchema } from 'grepts';
const results = search(searchOptionsSchema.parse({
pattern: 'TODO',
paths: ['./src'],
ignoreCase: true,
}));
// 17ฮผs. No subprocess.
// No IPC.
// No stdout parsing.
```
Zod validates at the boundary.
Types inferred from schemas.
`readonly SearchResult[]` out, no mutation.
$ npm i grepts
$ pnpm i grepts
If you're building Node.js tools that search files, stop spawning subprocesses. Call a function.
While it has feature parity with ripgrep, i'm still building out a couple of optimizations that will make it even faster on large codebases.
Introducing ๐ grepts
grepts is a TypeScript-native grep with full ripgrep feature parity that runs in-process. no subprocess spawn. just a function call.
interesting thing about grep in Node.js: every time you shell out to ripgrep, you pay ~5ms of fork+exec+pipe overhead. sounds small, but if you're building an IDE or a build tool, an ai agent (wink wink) that searches hundreds of times per second, it adds up fast.
the result:
~16ฮผs per invocation
vs
~5ms on ripgrep.
that's 323x faster under certain conditions.
the fastest IPC is no IPC. when your search engine lives in the same process as your application, you skip the entire OS process lifecycle. it's the same reason SQLite beats client-server databases for embedded use cases.
works as a CLI too (all the flags you'd expect: -i, -w, -g, -C, etc.), but the real win is the Node.js module API:
import { search } from 'grepts';
const results = search({ pattern: 'TODO', paths: ['./src'] });
zero overhead. async concurrent I/O with 32-way parallelism. .gitignore support. the whole thing.
build something useful with it!!
Google finally launched an official CLI (gmail, drive, sheets, gmail, calendar, admin, keep, meet 10+ more).
$ npm i -g @โ googleworkspace/cli
$ npx skills add github:googleworkspace/cli
My prediction of 2026 being the year of CLI is coming true. https://t.co/RintK3kmmV
Introducing chartli ๐
CLI that turns plain numbers into terminal charts. ascii, spark, bars, columns, heatmap, unicode, braille, svg.
$ ๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
I wanted terminal charts with zero setup. No browser, no Python env, no matplotlib. Pipe numbers in, get a chart out.
Again built using Command Code with my CLI taste.
$ npx chartli data.txt -t ascii -w 24 -h 8
8 chart types spanning a fun range of Unicode density:
- ascii (line charts with โโโโ markers)
- spark (โโโโโ โโโ sparklines, one row per series)
- bars (horizontal, โโโโ shading per series)
- columns (vertical grouped bars)
- heatmap (2D grid, โโโโ intensity mapping)
- unicode (grouped bars with โโโโโ โโโ sub-cell resolution)
- braille (โ โ โ 2ร4 dot matrix, highest density)
- svg (vector output, circles or polylines)
Input format is dead simple: rows of space-separated numbers. Multiple columns = multiple series.
0.0 0.1 0.1 0.1
0.2 0.4 0.2 0.4
0.3 0.2 0.4 0.2
Composes with pipes:
$ cat metrics.txt | chartli -t spark
S1 โโโโโ โ
S2 โโโโโ โ
S3 โโโโโโ
S4 โโโโโโ
The braille renderer is my fav. Each braille character encodes a 2ร4 dot grid, so a 16-wide chart gives you 32 pixels of horizontal resolution. Free anti-aliasing from Unicode.
The bars renderer uses 4 shading levels (โโโโ) to visually separate series without color. Works on any terminal, any font.
Heatmap maps values to a 5-step intensity scale across a rowรcolumn grid, so you can spot patterns in tabular data at a glance.
SVG mode has 2 render paths: circles (scatter plot) and lines (polylines). Output is valid XML you can pipe straight to a file or into another tool.
Zero config by default, every dimension overridable (-w width, -h height, -m SVG mode).
No config files.
No themes.
No dashboards.
$ ๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Or global install it.
$ npm i -g chartli

Tiny web app that turns plain text into unicode monospace text.

๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.๐๐ ๐๐๐.๐๐๐
Run as a tiny rust based CLI
$ ๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
I often find myself turning terminal commands into monospace style unicode text before posting on ๐.
No ads (lol).
Fixed-width.
Typewriter-ish.
Terminal-ish.
Copy/paste anywhere.
Paste text in, get unicode monospace out, copied to clipboard.
Again built using Command Code, with my frontend coding taste. ๐๐๐ is getting better at continuous learning, the more i build.
๐๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด:
Plain text in:
$ npx chartli
Monospace out:
$ ๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Useful for a bunch of things:
- ๐ posts
- code snippets
- retro typewriter vibes
- fixed-width tabular data
- old-school terminal aesthetics
- bios, captions, handles, posts
The nice part is this is real text, not a styled image.
Under the hood the app maps regular Latin letters and digits to Unicode monospace code points.
So the output is still copyable text that usually works across X, Facebook, SMS, notes, docs, and websites.
Current behavior is intentionally simple:
1. paste text
2. convert instantly
3. auto-copy when possible

Built three really cool rust projects this morning, gotta launch this thing, Iโm having unbelievably productive time shipping with my coding taste.
Hit like a billion tokens this week, just 9K shy of a billion. And model usage continues to simplify, starting with opus, and now mostly Haiku. Taste x haiku is a great combo.
Experimenting with gpt 5.4 thinking as well, coming to Command Code next week.
Iโm not even watching TV anymore even in my free time it is so amazing to continue to build everything you ever wanted to build. This is probably the first time Iโm actually running a little bit low on the things I need to build.
Iโve got like a couple of dozens of ideas left. I canโt believe this is what we have come to and how quickly.

cli to convert textexpander snippets to raycast snippets.
i used textexpander for a decade but started switching to raycast. only problem was migrating 1568 snippets.
textexpander acts as an overfitted model on your keystrokes. it memorizes passwords, tokens, and private data. high entropy noise.
$ ๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐๐๐-๐๐-๐๐๐ข๐๐๐๐
i wanted a clean migration with zero manual export. no xml fiddling or leaky suggested snippets. read weights directly from source plist and map to raycast json.
built using command code with my cli taste.
technical pipeline:
- access: direct binary plist reading via application support.
- merge: relational uuid join of snippets and groups.
- filter: drop overfitted suggested snippets by default.
- mapping: deterministic type conversion and text stripping.
verification is built-in. check counts via node one-liners:
$ ๐๐๐๐ -๐ "๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.๐๐๐(๐๐๐๐๐๐๐('./๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.๐๐๐๐').๐๐๐๐๐๐ + ' ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐')"
review overfitted data separately:
$ ๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐๐๐-๐๐-๐๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
applescript and shell logic is preserved as searchable text. rich text is stripped to plain text. no manual exports. no noise. no leaks.

cli to convert textexpander snippets to raycast snippets.
i used textexpanโฆ
stopped watching TV lately. not because i'm disciplined. because building with coding agents (Command Code) became more interesting than Netflix.
sounds absurd. but i'm polyphasic. wake up twice a day. used to split it: once for work, once for TV. now both sessions are building sessions.
what changed: the agent actually learns how i code. my guard clause preference. my CLI patterns from 200+ tools over 10 years. functional style. it picks up my architecture decisions without me explaining them every time.
the result isn't just speed. it's that i can trust the output without the usual "let me rewrite half of this" step. i'm shipping a project most days now because the friction dropped to nearly zero.
here's what i didn't expect: rebuilding old projects to teach Command Code my taste is more valuable than i thought. each one reinforces patterns i want the agent to know. not because my way is universal, but because consistency matters when you're working at this pace.
if you're using coding agents seriously, curious what surprised you most about how your workflow actually changed.
I felt this way for two years. Like Iโm losing myself as an engineer. The sloppy AI code works but I donโt like it.
This was the prime reasons why I worked on continuous learning of my coding taste with a coding agent (Command Code check pinned post on my profile for more).
I focus on crafting great projects, steering my agent to things I like, hand coding a bunch of complex code, all of which is a great learning system.
And it brings me joy. It feels more like what Iโd do when I see code written in the way Iโd have written it in the first place.
Taste coding or whatever you choose to call it feels a whole different and personal. Itโs a prior of me. Itโs conditioned on my taste. Only faster.
And when itโs not, thatโs an opportunity for me to teach it why not vs getting worked up by why am I letting AI code on my behalf, wth is this code, and more similar sentiments.
I recommend everyone try to build their taste as skills and actively work on it. Also what Iโm focused on as a problem worth solving.
fun fact Iโve been polyphasic since 2013, itโs how i got to ship hundreds of open source projects before all the AI.
and how i wake up for work and then for tv every single day, fresh, twice a day.
ship before sunday ends.
introducing plist-next ๐
i wanted a modern plist parser that just works. no bloat, no legacy baggage, just typescript + strict types + zod validation.
the original plist.js is solid, but it's 2026. we can do better with types.
plist-next
โข TypeScript first - strict mode, full type safety
โข Zod validation at boundaries - catch errors early
โข 45 comprehensive tests - edge cases covered
โข ESM + CJS - both module formats, tree-shakeable
โข Zero CLI dependencies - library stays lean
$ npm install plist-next
also ships with a CLI:
$ npx cli-plist
$ plist parse Info.plist
$ plist build '{"name":"app"}'
parse xml plists to js objects:
const { parse } = require('plist-next');
const data = parse(xmlString);
build js objects back to xml:
const { build } = require('plist-next');
const xml = build(data);
handles nested dicts, arrays, dates, buffers, booleans. all the plist types.
if you work with plists and want modern tooling, give it a try.
Code reviews are absolutely broken now.
Code reviews have become a real bottleneck. The cognitive load alone is a thing worth looking into.
What are you doing to make your code reviews faster? I'm deeply interested in solving this problem.
Have made a bunch of workflows that we plan to ship in Command Code, but would love to hear all the things y'all are doing to deal with say 40-50 PR reviews a day. Or whatever amount you're shipping (every project is different).
Something is so wrong with LLMs today. I basically stopped using anything and took a break.
Absolutely sloppy code across the coding agents. Too much demand causing the compute to be spread thin I guess?
Been coding by hand today. Whatโs up? Taste helped to a point.
Coding without taste is absolute slop. If you and your team doesnโt invest time in building your coding taste, more and more sloppy code will slip into your systems. Causing major incidents like the ones Amazon is dealing with nowadays.
@raycast got a problem. snippets do not expand in VS Code markdown files, unsure why, i recently dropped textexpander for raycast snippets (made a cli to export snippets too), textexpander worked fine, raycast not.

Introducing mmmodels ๐ญ
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ is a CLI for browsing, filtering, and exploring AI models from hundreds of providers.
Built for both humans and agents.
$ ๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
I wanted one terminal-native place to answer questions like:
- what models exist (fuzzy search)
- who ships them at what price
- how much context they have
- what they cost (esp caching)
- which ones support tools, reasoning, files, or structured output
The data is all there. The workflow as a CLI was missing.
Cognitive load of issues like: Name drifts. IDs collide across providers. Pricing and capability metadata changes constantly. The browser/tab workflow is too slow if you do this often (as someone building a frontier coding agent).
Again built with Command Code, with my CLI taste.
What it does well:
- no-arg interactive TUI for browsing `mmmodels` all you need
- fuzzy search across model IDs, model names, and provider names
- filtering by provider, capabilities, and status
- explicit sorting and limiting with `--sort` and `--limit`
- agent-friendly output with `--fields`, `--ids-only`, `--ndjson`, and `--json`
- width-aware terminal tables that fail cleanly instead of overflowing
- `--plain` mode for scripts, CI, and remote boxes
- local disk cache with offline-friendly fallback behavior
A few examples:
$ mmmodels claude
$ mmmodels list --provider anthropic --table
$ mmmodels search gpt --provider openai --json
$ mmmodels search claude --fields id,provider_id,limit.context,cost.input
One subtle feature I like: provider-aware ranking.
If the same model family appears from multiple providers, search prefers the default source for that family instead of returning an arbitrary duplicate first.
Under the hood the search is custom-scored. PRs welcome.
Queries are tokenized, normalized, version-aware, and AND-matched across candidates. Version tokens like `4.6` are handled carefully so they do not accidentally match `4.5`.
Caching is simple on purpose:
- in-process cache
- disk cache in tmp
- network fetch from source
- do --sync or -s with any command to fetch live
Normal mode goes memory -> disk -> network.
If the fetch fails, it falls back to disk cache instead of hard-failing.
Tables are width-aware.
Each column has min/max widths and alignment. The renderer fits the table to the current terminal width, and if the requested columns still do not fit, it errors instead of wrapping into unreadable soup.
`--plain` actually means plain:
- no banner
- no color
- no spinner
- booleans rendered as `yes/no`
- ASCII connectors instead of box-drawing glyphs
No dashboards.
No browser spelunking. Big win. Need I say more.
Just:
$ npx mmmodels
Or install it globally:
$ npm i -g mmmodels
If you work with models a lot and prefer terminals over tabs, try it.

Introducing chartli ๐๐๐ท
Charts in your terminal. CLI that turns plain numbers into terminal charts. ascii, spark, bars, columns, heatmap, unicode, braille, svg.
$ ๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
I wanted terminal charts with zero setup. No browser, no weird clunky UI, no matplotlib.
Pipe numbers in, get a chart out.
Built with Command Code using my CLI taste.
NEW in v1.0: Chart labels & annotations!
โข --x-axis-label: Add titles to axes
โข --y-axis-label: Label your dimensions
โข --x-labels: Custom tick labels
โข --series-labels: Name your data series
โข --data-labels: Show raw values on the chart
โข --first-column-x: Treat first column as x-axis domain
$ ๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐.๐๐ก๐ -๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ -๐ ๐ธ๐บ -๐ ๐พ
Chart types spanning a fun range of Unicode density:
โข ascii (line charts with โโโโ markers)
โข spark (โโโโโ โโโ sparklines, one row per series)
โข bars (horizontal, โโโโ shading per series)
โข columns (vertical grouped bars)
โข heatmap (2D grid, โโโโ intensity mapping)
โข unicode (bars โโโโโ โโโ sub-cell resolution)
โข braille (โ โ โ 2ร4 dot matrix, highest density)
โข svg (vector output, circles or polylines)
Input format is dead simple: rows of space-separated numbers. Multiple columns = multiple series.
Composes with pipes:
$ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.๐๐ก๐ | ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ -๐ ๐๐๐๐๐
day โโโโโ โ
sales โโโโโ โ
costs โโโโโโ
profit โโโโโโ
The braille renderer is my fav. Each braille character encodes a 2ร4 dot grid, so a 16-wide chart gives you 32 pixels of horizontal resolution. Free anti-aliasing from Unicode.
The bars renderer uses 4 shading levels (โโโโ) to visually separate series without color. Works on any terminal, any font.
Heatmap maps values to a 5-step intensity scale across a rowรcolumn grid, so you can spot patterns in tabular data at a glance.
day |โโโโโโโ| 0.67
sales |โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ| 1.00

I got Amjad @amasad to invest in @CommandCodeAI back when Replit was a $2M ARR company, before the $9B decacorn it is today. I've been fortunate and intentional to have great founders on our cap table.
Followed Amjad's work for a long time. He's one of those founders who just quietly, consistently executes at a high level. Few people sustain that kind of output over 10+ years. It's rare and I have a lot of respect for it.
Iโve seen a lot of ways to destroy credibility fast, but this might be the most efficient one
Lies and liars everywhere. A product that's not even launched, claiming to be top of the benchmarks, with marketing copy like nothing people have seen before.
Turns out to be a complete lie. Gaming and literally cheating the benchmark. All for what?
Also, the product is not even their own. Forked Gemini CLI. Unbelievable.
Benchmarks are so gamed at this point theyโre basically meaningless. Ship real products. Thatโs the only benchmark that matters.
Developers figure this out fast.
Fast compact mode in Command Code is so good.
It has tiered context compaction. You don't lose the context that matters. Super helpful when you're deep into a coding session and want to debug something soon as possible.
It does burn lots of tokens, 30M tokens in an hour or so yesterday, tens of parallel agents, all helped me debug a silly streaming bug that would otherwise have taken me several hours or days.
Hard to explain what it's like, you have to try it yourself.
I can't believe how bad other coding agents are at compacting context. It was one of my biggest frustrations when using Claude Code.
In Command Code, we built compaction in a much different way. You'd wanna check out Fast Compact Mode.

Introducing Taste Aware Agentic Review /๐๐๐๐๐๐
by Command Code
Stop paying the code review tax.
Code review in your terminal. Slash commands that turn GitHub PRs into structured feedback. No browser, no context switching, no friction.
$ cmd
/review
$ cmd
/review
# auto-detects PR from branch
$ cmd
/review 42
# explicit PR number
$ cmd
/pr-comments
# Fetch all PR comments for current branch
the problem with code review is that it's fundamentally a context-switching tax.
you're deep in the flow of your work, and suddenly you need to:
1. leave your terminal
2. navigate to github
3. parse the diff (often poorly formatted)
4. read comments from several agents/humans
5. come back to your terminal
6. context-switch back into the problem
each switch costs you. research shows context switching can cost 15-25 minutes of productive time per switch. if you do 3-4 reviews a day, that's an hour+ of pure overhead.
command code's /review and /pr-comments commands eliminate this entirely.
/review gives you structured code analysis without leaving the terminal. it:
- auto-detects your PR from your current branch (no manual lookup)
- fetches the diff and metadata via gh CLI
- analyzes the changes for quality, correctness, style, performance, security
- returns a structured review with a quality score (1-5)
- respects your project's learned conventions (your taste of code/review)
it's semantic agentic analysis. it understands:
- whether your abstractions make sense
- if you're following project patterns
- potential edge cases you might have missed
- whether test coverage is adequate
- security implications of the changes
/pr-comments does something equally important: it fetches all comments (both issue comments and inline review comments) and displays them in your terminal. then it pre-populates the next action to help you: "fix all review comments".
this is subtle but powerful. you're not just seeing the comments, you're immediately positioned to act on them. the friction is gone.
the workflow becomes:
1. /review โ get structured feedback/score
2. /pr-comments โ see all comments
3. continue in the same session to fix issues
4. commit and push without ever leaving the terminal
why does this matter?
context switching is a form of cognitive load. code reviews are the biggest bottle neck today. every switch degrades your working memory. you lose the mental model you've built. you lose momentum. you lose flow.
by keeping you in the terminal, command code preserves your cognitive state. you stay in the problem. you stay in flow.
this is especially valuable for:
- async review workflows
(get feedback immediately without waiting for humans)
- rapid iteration (fix feedback in the same session)
- learning (see patterns in how your code is reviewed)
- taste aware (Command continuously learns your coding/reviewing taste, and compounds in value after every session)
this is the kind of feature that seems small until you use it. then you realize how much friction it removes from your daily workflow.
tools should minimize context switching. every context switch is a tax on your productivity and your ability to think deeply. the best tools keep you in flow. we built Command Code to provide you with the best agentic developer experience.
command code gets this. it's built around the terminal because that's where developers actually work. not as a gimmick GUI, but as a fundamental design principle.
if you're doing code review, try /review and /pr-comments. pay attention to how much mental energy you save by not switching contexts. that's the real value.
here's a quick video demo
$ npm i -g command-code
What's the best serverless model inference provider in the US for top 3-5 open source models?
With good RPM/TPM limits for a 100K RPM and more. Serverless so no dedicated deployments, and auto-scale up/down?
Asking for a friend.
There is something strangely circular happening in software right now.
A lot of modern software development, for a while, drifted away from the machine itself. We built thick layers of abstraction: IDEs, frameworks, cloud platforms, orchestration systems, collaboration layers, dashboards, no-code surfaces, and entire companies dedicated to hiding complexity behind ever more polished interfaces.
This was not a mistake. It was the natural progression of the field. As computers became more powerful and software ate more of the world, the economic value shifted upward in the stack. The winning move was often to move further from the metal and closer to the user.
But now the center of gravity seems to be shifting again.
With AI, especially code-native AI, the interface is becoming more linguistic, more interactive, and in a surprising way, more primitive. You sit in front of a prompt. You describe intent. You inspect outputs. You iterate. You chain tools together. You run commands. You watch logs. You manage context.
A lot of this looks less like the glossy software world we built over the last 15 years and more like a return to the older computational substrate: the terminal, the REPL, the shell, the raw loop between human and machine.
That is not nostalgia. It is an interesting structural observation about why terminals are eating the world.
The terminal was always an unusually powerful interface because it exposed something close to the real grammar of computation.
It was compositional, terse, expressive, and open-ended. It did not try to predict every workflow in advance. It gave you primitives and trusted you to build. In some sense, it was one of the earliest genuinely โgenerativeโ interfaces, not because it used machine learning, but because it let a user synthesize arbitrary behavior from a small set of building blocks.
What is interesting now is that AI makes this style of interaction accessible again, but at a different level of abstraction. Natural language becomes a kind of universal shell. The model acts as interpreter, translator, and sometimes collaborator.
The old command line required you to think like the machine. The new one increasingly allows the machine to meet you halfway. But the shape of the interaction is familiar: specify, execute, inspect, refine.
So engineering may be going back to its roots, but not in a simplistic sense. We are not just returning to terminals because terminals are aesthetically cool or because developers enjoy retro tools.
We are returning because open-ended systems tend to win when the space of possible tasks becomes too large for fixed interfaces. And AI dramatically expands that space.
If the previous era of software was about building polished surfaces over computation, this era may be more about building dynamic interpreters for intent.
That changes what it means to โuseโ software. Increasingly, you do not just click through pre-built pathways. You articulate what you want, and the system constructs the pathway on the fly.
In that sense, the terminal was not a historical accident. It may have been an early glimpse of the deepest interface pattern in computing: a minimal surface area paired with maximal expressive power.
And maybe that is why this moment feels so familiar.
After decades of building software that abstracted us away from the machine, we are building systems that bring us back into direct conversation with it.
Sonnet continues to beat Opus for many tasks.
In our internal cmd-bench, Sonnet 4.6 is the best Anthropic model for same 93% score as Opus but 12% faster, and uses less tokens (which are already 2/3x cheaper).
I canโt remember the last time I went to bed stuck on a coding problem. Command Code has absolutely changed that for me.
I kinda miss waking up ready to solve it with fresh context. Coding agents have me in a constant state of being unstuck and moving forward.
If I started streaming every week about everything from how I build software and take product decisions would you watch?
Itโs a major time commitment and Iโm leaning towards it but need bit more of a push on why I should do this.

Beating claude with your coding taste/skills auto learned and oss models. This is going to be huge!!
Last Wednesday I did a four hour long live stream discussing WordPress vs EmDash โ and what the future of WordPress looks like. (Also reviewed a post I wrote 10 yrs ago about WordPress future).
Would yโall be interested in a shorter trimmed down version of it? I can edit and post if thereโs enough interest.
Iโll be live streaming at 11 am Pacific time today โ discussing coding agents, building a CLI with coding taste, and upcoming AI models.
Join me live for a fun discussion nerds. Letโs go!!
https://t.co/rSLUhEtLAB has all the links.
Iโm now building more software than I can release open source. Yet another thing thatโll require me to update my open source workflow.
Reviews are getting expensive and anything that solves my problems I keep using it without looking deeply at code. And donโt want to release them without deep code review. OSS eng is changing.
I have also managed to feel a huge unlock with open source models that all the premium commercial models donโt have. Easy to experiment with anything at 1/25th the cost and 4x the speed.
Test 12 different open source models vendors and the quality differences are unbelievable.
On paper every provider claims to be the best but most are running quantized shitty version of great open source models.
These so called optimizations are turning say Kimi K2.5 into absolute garbage models with lack of good tool calling ability and random quality degradation with zero notification.
While we have secured some good partners it is starting to look like that at Command Code we might end up hosting models by ourselves (not something I wanna do but the quality difference is night and day).
Overall very excited to be launching open source models with our partners next week.
I'm live streaming, discussing a bunch of things:
so much to talk about on the stream today
- cursor getting acquired for $60B?
- should we open source Command Code?
- opus 4.7
- kimi k2.6
- gpt-image-2
- Claude design
and more? https://t.co/xd4glc1i5M

Coding? After thought after all the above.

If youโre using Claude Code youโre missing out on what a great coding agent looks like.
In Command Code we have had a great experience using Opus 4.7 unlike the regression most everyone faced with Claude Code.
And now itโs confirmed this happened. https://t.co/beprISDF09
GPT 5.5 beats Opus 4.7!!
Just started shipping it in @CommandCodeAI and the teamโs been having a great time with it.
Still waiting for our evals to finish.
In both models the ability to debug, validate, and verify their work has improved significantly.
True competition!!
DeepSeek v4 is the cheapest SOTA model and with 1M context. We just shipped it in Command Code.
Yep 9pm teamโs shipping. Itโs early our eval bench is running but at 1/20th cost early signs of Opus 4.7 level intelligence and dirt cheap.

I donโt know how this happened but I have lost all interest in cars. I also live car free now. I enjoy it a lot.

me: none!
Past six hours spent hunting a nasty bug with open models and their tool calls. Made Command self heal a bunch of them.
I find as a founder who builds my day really starts at 5pm after all the messy things I need to deal with.
Maybe thatโs also why Iโm the happiest when Iโm building software on the weekends with no distractions or worrying.
kimi 2.6 just cooked opus 4.7 and gpt 5.5 debugging my command code issue
open models at 1/20th the cost are actually winning nowโฆ itโs starting to happen fr. crazy.
how does taste work in Command Code?
kimi has replaced my sonnet usage at 4x the speed and 25x less cost.
โณ npm i -g command-code
how can you beat commercial models with open source models, especially with your coding taste?
the trick is "taste" (auto-generated skill)
a per-project skill file that auto-learns your stack, your
patterns, your preferences. point any model at it and the output looks like you wrote it.
switch from claude to kimi mid-session. taste comes with you. guiding kimi to do as good as claude.
built a full typescript cli with Kimi in this video. spent only $0.74!!
The biggest reason I want to open source Command Code?
I want every developer to be able to build on top of what we've built.
So your coding agent is MORE closer to what you actually want it to be.
Code is cheap. AI can code really, really well now.
If we're not building this together, I am not having a lot of fun.
Manus timeline:
- Launched March 2025

The old saying that "ideas are worth nothing, execution is everything" feels increasingly wrong to me.
Consider: 2 years ago, the idea was basically "Claude isn't available outside the US, fork VS Code, wrap it." That's it. That's Cursor. ~$50B company.
Execution obviously still matters. But the building part has gotten dramatically cheaper, faster, more accessible. A small team with taste can now ship what used to take an army.
So the bottleneck has shifted. It's not "can you build it." Increasingly it's "did you see it." The scarce resource is the idea itself, the noticing, the taste to pick the right one out of the cloud of nearby ones that look almost identical but aren't.
It's mostly now "can you think it".
Claude Mythos SWE-bench score jumped from 65 to 82.
Terminal bench numbers look genuinely strong.
That's some serious improvement.
If it holds in actual usage, Anthropic might cross OpenAI's revenue this year - Mythos will have a lot to do with that.
But I'm not changing how I build based on a benchmark I can't test myself.
Show me the model.
Wow I just made DeepSeek V4 Pro beat Opus 4.7 6/10 times in our internal evals by auto repairing many of its quirks in tool calling.
Itโs performing super solid for such a cheap model.
letโs gooo!! thank you @OpenAI folks! แ( แ )แ
iโm told @sama follows all the cool invitees, so naturally iโm posting this for completely unrelated reasons
(ใฃโยฏโ)ใค https://t.co/KmWGL9an8R
how did we make deepseek outperform opus 4.7?
i've been thinking about why "open model bad at tool calling" is almost always a harness problem, not a model problem.
context: spent the two days looking at billions of tokens in @CommandCodeAI (tb open source ai cli) using deepseek. I ended up writing a tool-input repair layer. the trigger was watching deepseek-flash fail on the simplest /review run, every shellCommand and readFile call bouncing back with a raw zod issues blob, the model unable to recover because the error wasn't in a form it could read. by the end deepseek v4 pro was beating opus 4.7 6/10 times on our internal evals.
a few things i learned that feel general:
1/ the failure modes aren't random they're a small finite compositional set.
across deepseek-flash, deepseek v4 pro, glm, qwen, the same four mistakes repeat almost exactly:
- sending `null` for an optional field instead of omitting it
- emitting `["a","b"]` as a json *string* instead of an actual array
- wrapping a single arg in `{}` where the schema expected an array (an "empty placeholder")
- passing a bare string where an array was expected (`"foo"` instead of `["foo"]`)
four repairs, ~30-100 lines each, ordered carefully (json-array-parse must run before bare-string-wrap or `'["a","b"]'` becomes `['["a","b"]']`). that is the whole catalogue. when i hear "this open source model can't do tool calls" i now assume one of those four, and so far that's been right ~90% of the time.
2/ the funniest failure mode is also the most revealing.
deepseek-flash, when asked to edit or write a file, sometimes emits the path as a *markdown auto-link*:
filePath: "/Users/x/proj/[notes.md](http://notes. md)"
our writeFile tool obediently trued creating files literally named `[notes.md](http://notes .md)` until we caught it. this is not a hallucination. it's the post-training chat distribution leaking through the tool boundary the model has been rewarded for auto-linking in conversational output, and is applying that prior in a context where it makes no sense. the fix is two regex lines that unwrap only the degenerate case where link text equals url-without-protocol real markdown like `[click](https://x .com)` passes through untouched.
this is also conditioning of their own tools during RL which were different from all other tools we write and ofc can't predict.
"tool confusion" is a more useful frame than "capability gap." the model knows how to format a path. it just hasn't been told clearly enough that this path is going to fopen, not into a chat bubble. so we encode that hint at the schema level `pathString()` instead of `z.string()` and the leak is plugged for every path field at once.
3/ the design choice that mattered was inverting preprocess-then-validate to validate-then-repair.
my first attempt was the obvious one: a preprocessing pass that normalized inputs (strip nulls, parse stringified arrays, etc.) before zod ever saw them. it broke immediately, writeFile content that *happened* to be json-shaped got rewritten before it hit disk. silent corruption, easy to miss in a smoke test.
then i made it less greedy
- parse the input as-is. if it succeeds, ship it. valid inputs are never touched.
- on failure, walk the validator's own issue list. for each issue path, try the four repairs in order until one applies.
- parse again. on success, log `tool_input_repaired:${toolName}`. on failure, log `tool_input_invalid:${toolName}` and return a model-readable retry message.
the structural insight here is: when you preprocess, you encode a prior about what's broken. when you let the validator complain first, the schema is the prior, and you only spend repair budget at the exact paths the schema actually disagreed at. the validator is doing the work of localizing the bug for you. it's the same shape as cheap-then-careful everywhere else try the fast path, fall back on evidence.
(this also gives you per-tool telemetry for free. you can watch repair rates per (model, tool) and notice when a model regresses on a specific contract before users do.)
4/ shape invariants and relational invariants need different fixes.
the four repairs above all handle shape problems wrong type, missing key, wrong container. but read_file had a *relational* invariant: "if you provide offset, you must also provide limit, and vice versa." deepseek kept calling `readFile({ absolutePath, limit: 30 })` and getting an `ERROR:` back. you can't fix this with input repair, because each field is independently valid the bug is in the relationship between them.
so i taught the function the model's intent instead. `limit` alone โ `offset = 0`. `offset` alone โ `limit = 2000` (matches common read tool ops default). then surfaced the decision back to the model in the result:
"Note: limit was not provided; defaulted to 2000 lines. To read more or fewer lines, retry with both offset and limit."
no `Error:` prefix, so the tui doesn't paint it red. the model sees what we picked and can self-correct on the next turn if our guess was wrong. transparency over silent magic wins big.
repair where you can. extend semantics where you can't. surface the choice either way.
zoom out:
a lot of what looks like model capability is actually contract design. a strict schema is a choice with a cost it filters out noise, but it also filters out recoverable noise from any model that hasn't memorized the exact json contract you happened to pick. the largest commercial models eat that cost invisibly and are linient on tool calling because they've seen enough of every contract during pretraining; open models pay it loudly and get dismissed for it.
the harness is where you mediate between distributions. four small repairs (i'm sure more to follow as we have three more merging today), two regex lines for auto-links, one relational default, one prefix change. the model didn't change. the contract got more forgiving in exactly the places it needed to be.
deepseek v4 pro now beats opus 4.7 6/10 times on our internal evals.
imo "skill issue" applies to the harness more often than the model.
If your alarm doesn't wake you up, set a cron job to delete a production database at the same time and discover a part of yourself you didn't know existed.
how did we make kimi k2.6 nearly beat opus 4.7
"open source models are bad at coding" is not a model issue, it's the coding agent harness problem!
if you're using Claude Code to run open source models you ain't gonna make it. they don't want open models to win.
i had a weird week. same model (deepseek v4 pro) ran our internal eval beat opus 6/10 and (kimi k2.6) almost there 5/10.
same prompts, same checkpoints, same temperature. the only thing that moved was which upstream the gateway picked.
i think a lot of "open model bad at coding" is actually "open model on cold cache." when you say a model wins an eval, you're really saying (model + provider + cache state) wins an eval. the harness is the part that decides the second two.
context: i've been working on @CommandCodeAI's open-source path kimi k2.6, deepseek v4 pro, glm, qwen billions of tokens through a fanout of inference providers (building $1/mo Go plan for Command Code agent). by the end kimi k2.6 was hitting 5/10 against opus 4.7 and deepseek v4 pro 6/10 on the harder tool-heavy slices. four small plumbing changes did most of it. none of them touched the model.
a few things i learned that feel general:
1. the biggest single win was one http header.
closed models have prompt caching as a product. open models don't. what they have is prefix cache the inference server keeps the last N forward passes warm on a GPU's KV memory, and a request that shares a prefix with a recent one skips re-prefilling. it's compute-time, not product-tier, and it evaporates the second your request lands on a different node.
a coding agent is pure prefix-cache exploitation. a good system prompt: ~10k tokens, constant. tool list: constant. conversation: append-only. every turn except the very first should be a near-total cache hit. should be.
what we found: through lots of r&d and data wrangling, consecutive turns of the same conversation were getting load-balanced to different gpu pods. each one had to re-prefill our ~10k-token prefix from scratch. ttft was 6-8s. the model wasn't slow. the cache was being stolen from us by the load balancer.
the fix is one line. but working with several providers and load balancing it makes it as a soft pin same value, same pod (best effort). we already had a stable session id in the cli. we forwarded it.
```
ttft dropped from 6-8s to under 1s on cached turns. and it matters for evals too when the prefix-cache is warm, the model spends its whole budget on the new tokens. cold prefill on a small open model eats latency that on opus is invisible because anthropic's fleet has product-tier caching baked in. closed models eat the cost silently. open models eat it loudly and then we blame the model.
think of it like being in an hour long meeting and having coherent understanding of where we are in the conversation. if you had to re-brief yourself from notes every time you spoke, you'd be slow and forgetful. the model is the same.
at Command Code we're building the best coding agent harness for open source models (and closed too!). such a nice fix for our users. save them money, make them faster, and make the model look better for free.
2. canonical model id is the load-bearing abstraction.
we route the same model say `kimi-k2-6` through up to three providers in priority order. provideOne (p1) (lowest p50), then provideTwo (p2), then providerThree (p3). each one wants a different slug: `moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Instruct`, `moonshot/kimi-k2-6`, `@moonshot/kimi-k2-6`. each wants a different request shape (p2 wants `providerOptions.gateway`, p3 wants headers, p1 wants its own auth header).
the temptation is to fork the request shape per provider all the way through the agent loop. don't. we keep one canonical id (`kimi-k2-6`) flowing through the entire request billing, telemetry, evals, fallback. the slug translation happens at exactly one boundary: `getProviderModelId(provider, canonicalId)`, called inside `buildOSSLanguageModel`, called at the moment we hand bytes to the sdk.
this matters most on fallback. when p1 503s mid-stream and we walk to p2, we re-apply `applyEntryOptions(params, entry, canonicalId)` gateway options get rebuilt for the new entry, the message array stays untouched, the canonical id is unchanged. in our usage logs every kimi call is `kimi-k2-6` regardless of which gpu actually served it. evals don't lie about which model you tested.
if you've ever tried to debug "did this turn go to p2 or p3," you know why this matters. caching ergonimics in this are state of art engineering. i've had most fun as an engineer building this.
3/ capability flags need per-provider negotiation.
we ask the gateway for `zeroDataRetention: true` and `disallowPromptTraining: true`. these are request-level, not per-upstream the gateway is all-or-nothing on each. if any provider in our whitelist (`order`) lacks a flag, the gateway refuses with `NoNonTrainingProvidersError` and the request just dies.
initial code path: hardcode both flags on. broke for half our models, because, e.g., novita is no-training but not zdr, fireworks is zdr but not no-training (these change month to month check current capability table, not this list). gateway refused everything.
the fix was to drop each flag independently based on whether anyone in the whitelist lacks it:
(`buildGatewayOptions`, same file.) request goes through with whichever guarantees the intersection of providers actually supports. you don't get to ask for a property that doesn't exist on the set you're routing over.
this is the same shape as the tool-input repair stuff from last week when you hit a wall, the question to ask is "what's the minimal contract this set of upstreams can actually honor in common," not "how do i force my preferred contract through."
not so happy with this, still working out the quirks, and want to enable ZDR vs cost management easy for our users.
4/ the funniest bug was a thinking-mode regression.
deepseek v4 pro, multi-turn through the p2, started 400ing every continuation: "the reasoning_content in the thinking mode must be passed back to the api."
what was happening: the gateway-side converter applies r1's reasoning-stripping logic to v4. r1 returns `reasoning_content` and you have to echo it back. v4 doesn't, and you don't. the converter strips it, the upstream rejects the absence, every multi-turn dies on turn 2.
(`getReasoningProviderOptions`.) deepseek v4 pro now runs as a non-thinking model end-to-end. converter has nothing to drop. multi-turn works.
we lose reasoning. that costs us a couple of points on hard one-shot puzzles. but coding agents are not one-shot puzzles they're 40-turn loops where turn-2-doesn't-400 matters more than chain-of-thought on turn-1.
later we figured out how to teach the open models what's wrong in their toolCalls while repairing the calls runtime, yesterday i made a detailed thread on this, if you're curious.
zoom out:
four things, none of them about the model:
- keep prefix cache hot across a conversation and providers and open models (job of a harness, not the model or provider).
- one abstraction (canonical id at the request layer, slug translation at the sdk boundary) so fallbacks are invisible to billing and evals.
- one filter (drop capability flags independently against per-upstream support sets) so the gateway doesn't refuse on a property mismatch.
- one workaround (disable thinking on a single provider prefix) for an upstream sdk bug that breaks multi-turn. teach the model how to fix its tool calls in deterministic ways instead of just sending it errors which results in a silent failure.
the model didn't get smarter. the harness stopped throwing away its work between turns.
a closed-model harness can be lazy about all four of these because anthropic and openai eat the cost server-side their caching is built in, their model id is unambiguous, their capability flags are consistent, their tool contracts have been pretrained on. an open-model harness can't be lazy about any of them, and if it's lazy about one, the model "loses" an eval/vibe check it would otherwise have won.
deepseek v4 pro now beats opus 4.7 6/10 on our internal evals. kimi k2.6 hits 5/10. nothing about the weights moved.
imo if your open model is "bad at coding," in most cases you're using the wrong coding agent harness that doesn't care about your model and is super generic across hundreds of models or only cares about the closed models with product-tier caching.
you can try all these fixes, they're live.
interesting milestone: @CommandCodeAI on pace for ~1,000 new subs/day today.
the broader thought imo is that devs are figuring out that running open models inside Claude Code was leaving a lot on the table.
seeing more and more posts of DeepSeek/Kimi beating Opus/GPT once you swap them into Command Code instead. the harness matters, often as much as the model itself (a point that i think is still pretty underrated).
my eng notes on our harness engineering below.
Hit 6.5 Billion tokens in 24 hrs on DeepSeek v4 Pro with Command Code, and and hardly more than half of my $100 Max subscription is still available.
If you're using Claude Code with open source models, you ain't gonna make it!! https://t.co/iiOBoAjHUl
stop using Claude Code if you're using open source models. read this.
as you know we're building a coding agent harness for both open and closed models. processing billions of tokens an hours is teaching us lots of amazing things.
Command Code is purpose-built for each model we launch, and it's getting better every day. the closest analogy i can think of is teaching a human to drive a car when they make a mistake, first you save them from the accident, then you teach them how to handle it next time.
"open source models are bad at coding" is, almost always, a taste problem in the harness, not a capability problem in the model.
claude code is a great harness. for claude.
codex is fine too. for gpt.
if you're using either for an open source model, you're going to have a subpar experience and conclude the model isn't smart enough yet. it usually is. even something as small as a couple of failed tool calls can completely disable a session.
context: at @CommandCodeAI we've now pushed 10B+ tokens through our agent across closed (opus 4.7, gpt) *and* open (kimi k2.6, deepseek v4 pro, glm, qwen) paths, and we're adding ~1k new devs a day, mostly on the open side. you see things at that volume that i'm happy to share. the most consistent thing i see: "model X is bad at tool calls" almost always decomposes into "harness Y is built for model Z and silently breaks for model X, and nobody at the harness vendor cares because they don't run model X."
that's not a moral failing it's an incentive structure. claude code is anthropic's agent, tuned for anthropic's model. codex is openai's, tuned for openai's. they're doing the thing they're supposed to do. but it produces a market where every other harness is a commodity router 1000 models in a dropdown, no per-model tuning, no per-model evals, no per-model repair logic. you click kimi, the harness shrugs, and when tool calls bounce six turns in a row, nothing gets logged. the model gets blamed. the harness moves on to the next dropdown entry.
the analogy i keep coming back to is apple vs windows not the consumer-marketing version, the design-engineering version. one ships fewer skus and tunes the stack for each one. the other ships every sku and ships you the optimization problem. neither is wrong they're different products. coding agents have mostly been the second kind. i think there's a large opening for the first kind, and that's what we're building. Command Code with taste. the current landscape of big coding agents feels a lot like windows.
"purpose-built per model" sounds vague until you list what it actually means. four things from the last few weeks we've observed and shipped:
1/ per-model tool input repair.
deepseek-flash sometimes emits `filePath` as a markdown auto-link. opus never does. opus sometimes sends `null` for an optional field. deepseek doesn't. kimi wraps a single arg in `{}` when the schema wants an array. glm sends `"foo"` where the schema wants `["foo"]`.
a generic harness sees all of these as "invalid tool call" and ships the model back a raw zod-issues blob. the model can't read it well, retries the same wrong call, gets the same blob. five turns of that and the user assumes the model is broken. it wasn't it was screaming into a room with no one in it. a purpose-built harness has a small ordered repair table per shape failure (we have ~four per model on avg), watches which models hit which repair, and turns that data into per-model defaults. the model gets to look as smart as it actually is.
2/ canonical model id at the request layer, slug translation at the sdk boundary.
we route a single canonical model (`kimi-k2-6`) through 3-12 providers per model in priority order. each wants a different slug, a different request shape, a different auth header. the temptation is to fork that all the way through the agent loop. don't. one canonical id flows through billing, telemetry, evals, fallback. slug translation happens at exactly one boundary.
a generic harness can't do this because it doesn't have the concept of "the same model on three providers" it has `moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Instruct` and `moonshot/kimi-k2-6` as two separate dropdown entries and your eval data is split across both. you can't tune what you can't aggregate.
3/ prefix-cache pinning, per provider.
closed models have prompt caching as a product. open models have prefix caching as a side effect of inference-server implementation. the second your conversation lands on a different gpu pod, the warm prefix evaporates, ttft jumps from <1s to 6-8s, and the model spends its turn re-prefilling the system prompt instead of thinking.
a one-line session pin (best-effort: same value, same pod) fixes it. a generic harness doesn't ship this because it would need a *different* one for every provider. we ship a different one for every provider. closed-model harnesses never have to think about this because anthropic and openai handle caching server-side and silently. open-model harnesses pay the cost loudly, and most just leave it there.
4/ tiered context compaction, tuned to the model that's loaded.
at 50% of effective context, drop the oldest tool calls their results are dead bytes the model already extracted from. at 80%, the same, harder. at 90%, summarize, and only what's old. never compact the in-flight task. one primitive, three parameters.
the thresholds aren't 50/80/90 of the model's advertised max. they're percentages of effective context, which sits well below the marketing number, because the last ~10% of any model's window is where its own attention degrades. you have to pick that ceiling per model. nobody publishes it. you find it in the data. a generic harness can't pick it per model, so it picks the marketing number for everyone, and the resulting agent gets dumb at turn 25 across the board. users assume that's just how agents are. it isn't.
a few things to realize from all this:
a coding agent's intelligence per turn is bounded by:
- what fraction of context is actually load-bearing (compaction)
- what fraction of tool calls survive contact with the schema (repair logic)
- what fraction of turns get warm cache (pinning)
- whether your eval data is one model or three pretending to be one (canonical id)
closed-model harnesses get most of these for free because the model vendor handles them server-side and doesn't tell you. open-model harnesses don't get any of them for free. and the generic "1000 models in a dropdown" harnesses can't fix them at scale because there is no "the model" to tune for there is the union of all of them, which is the empty set.
there is no general coding agent. there is a coding agent for each model you actually want to run well, and every one of them is a different product underneath the same harness. we're building that for you.
coding agents have mostly been windows so far. we're taking inspiration from apple instead fewer skus, tuned for each one. taste, in engineering, is the willingness to do that work.
the model isn't bad. your harness is generic. fix that.

Read the eng deep dives below, good for all not just us.
why every coding agent is bad at open source models?
the best harness engineering for open source models ain't easy, but we're doing just that @CommandCodeAI.
this is another engineering deep dive into complex problems we're fixing so our users can have the best developer experience when building with command x open source.
founder pov here. we shipped what looked like a half-day refactor this week. turned into a multi-day rabbit hole that taught me something about agent runtime design i keep relearning.
background: our cli lets users swap models mid-conversation with /model. closed-api models on one side, growing set of open-source models on the other, fronted by 12-20 different gateways per model. the moment you support that selector, context window stops being a constant. it becomes a runtime variable.
almost every assumption baked into the agent loop breaks when the window can change under you. auto-compact thresholds. the /context breakdown. the tokens-left gauge. the overflow guard.
we had one context_limit = 200,000 constant imported by ~12 call sites. worked great when everything was 200k models. falls apart the second the selector mixes a 1m model with a 128k open-source one. the agent either wastes 800k of budget or hits a cryptic "context length exceeded" error the next turn after you switch down.
naive fix: replace the constant with a per-model lookup helper, sourced from a contextwindow field on each model option. boring. the interesting design problem is what happens at the exact moment of switching.
three calls we made.
reconcile, don't just re-render.
user is at 600k tokens used, on a 1m model, switches to a 200k one. you can't just refresh the gauge and hope the next request goes through. it won't.
our context engine, on a model change: recomputes the limit, re-emits a usage update so the ui is honest about the new ceiling. if usage is already past the tier-3 threshold (90%) of the new window, runs an in-place compaction before returning control. the compaction posts a feed entry: "switched models, compacted 612k to 84k to fit." opaque upstream error turns into a legible state transition.
tier-3 instead of the raw limit because the next turn needs headroom for input plus output.
asymmetric. only compact on a shrink.
first version compacted whenever usage was past 90% of the new window. wrong on a same-or-wider switch. two 1m models, 920k used, switching between them: technically over 90%, but the window didn't shrink. summarizing now just throws context away. the natural tier-3 auto-compact fires on the next turn anyway.
guard: if newlimit >= previouslimit, bail. small change, big behavior delta. users were seeing "switched to a smaller context window" feed entries when they hadn't actually switched to anything smaller.
finally a race condition.
user mashes /model twice in a row. two summarize-and-compact runs start. both reading the message list. both writing. the compaction counter double-counts, the second summary runs against a partially-replaced list.
single boolean in-flight lock around the reconcile path. if a switch lands while one is running, emit the usage update and bail. the in-flight one finishes with the right state. boring concurrency, only shows up in replay tests.
tests passed. shipped to internal. then someone on the team tried an open-source model through gateway 1, used about 120k tokens, watched it auto-compact. the model has a 1m window. tier-1 should fire at 500k, not 100k.
this is where it got interesting for eng.
the bug: our context-limit lookup was running on the raw model id the request was made with. gateway 1 wants the slug as "vendorname/model-name". our model registry is keyed by the canonical id. lookup misses. falls through to the default of 200k. tier-1 (50%) of 200k is 100k. so the agent was compacting at 100k instead of 500k. no error, no warning, just compacting too early on every long session.
same class of bug for the other 2 gateways. each had its own naming convention. gateway 2 prefixes everything with a routing namespace. gateway 3 lowercases vendor slugs in a way our registry didn't match. plus dated snapshots, plus deprecated-model migrations. each path was treating the same model as a distinct model.
the agent runtime had been treating model identity as a string equality check. it should always have been canonicalize-then-equal.
fix: a single canonicalization function at the boundary, run before any registry lookup. it already existed for some call sites. we just hadn't been disciplined about routing every code path through it. strips routing prefixes, strips dated suffixes, scans the oss model table case-insensitively, runs deprecation migrations. unknown ids fall back gracefully.
one funnel. every call site benefits.
the lesson i keep relearning, probably the reason i'm writing this: in an agent runtime, model names are the leakiest abstraction you have. a canonical identity ships with n gateway-flavored aliases. every config lookup keyed on the wire-format string is a latent bug waiting for a user to switch providers. the defense is to canonicalize at the boundary and keep the canonical form everywhere internal.
most of those lines are tests and call sites that swapped the constant for the helper. the conceptual work is small. the refactor pushes a runtime variable through a system that assumed it was a constant, and the bugs hide in places you don't think to look until a user with an unusual model slug finds them.
open-source model ecosystems make this load-bearing. closed-api providers ship a small, slow-moving set of ids. folding oss models into the same selector means dozens of providers, each with their own slug conventions, each with windows ranging 32k to 1m. the agent has to absorb that variance without surfacing it as confusion or quiet wrongness to the user.
three things i think you can learn from this:
one: every "obvious" constant in an agent runtime is a future bug. our 200k constant was obvious for 8 months. until it wasn't.
two: the bug shows up in the second-most-popular path, not the first. most usage was on closed-api models where the lookup happened to work. the oss path was a test of whether our abstraction held up to variance. it didn't.
three: when the runtime gets a new degree of freedom (mid-session model swap, in this case), audit every place that read the old assumption. we didn't, and ate a few days of "why did it just compact me" reports before finding the canonicalization gap.
per-model context windows. in-place compaction on shrinking switches. single funnel for canonical id resolution. sounds boring. load-bearing in practice.
hope this helps you improve your code. or you can always try what we're building.
make sure you're using the right harness for open source models, otherwise your experience will remain sub par, and like many you'll keep calling it a model problem.

Hiring for one of the most imp roles at Command Code.
Owner of GUI for Command Code (design & dev)
This may be the best job on the market atm.
Command Code is blowing up. Billions of tokens an hour, developers love it, and we're scaling the team fast. Today it's CLI only. Next is a desktop app that hundreds of thousands of developers will use as their daily driver.
We're scaling the team as well.
I'm hiring someone with deep passion to do it all, a developer, maybe ex founder, great eye for detail, and design taste.
Person in this role will fully own the design and development of a tool that hundreds of thousands of developers will use as a daily driver.
No managers. This a big product & direction we care about. You have to be able to build/design it all by yourself (lots of freedom) but at the same time you'll have me and my entire team ~15 to support you.
We have some great ideas on what this will look like. Not another copy-paste GUI like the ones floating around the community. We have strong opinions on what this should be, and they're different.
Stack will likely be Electron + Rust, with native Swift for the macOS-specific pieces. You need to be genuinely full stack, with real taste in design and an obsession with detail.
This would also be an extremely rewarding dream job, you'll join the company right when we have massive growth, and your work will be adopted fast.

Go to my profile, apply to the open role, and also check my last few days of posts, esp the eng deep dives. So you know how we're solving some of the toughest problems in harness engineering. It'll tell you how we think.
Mr. B hitting ~450M tokens in $1 Go plan of @CommandCodeAI and fixing what Opus 4.7 couldnโt with DeepSeek V4 Pro is exactly what you are missing.
Command is now probably the most used coding agent harness for DeepSeek models.
what a day. we broke 100 billion tokens!
Command Code was 3rd & 6th most used coding agentยน this week and probably the most used coding harness in the world for deepseek v4 models.
i can literally load complete docs and full dependency's code before writing a single line with 1M context on deepseek. flash is ~100x cheaper than the alternatives, and at this context size it holds up shockingly well.
also, our $1/mo Go plan has made ai coding with open models accessible everywhere in the world, esp outside the bubble. a billion tokens of deepseek flash for $1 is a bit unbelievable too.
ยน ranked against agents on openrouter. p.s. we're not on openrouter, we use 12 other providers.
Command Code is now the 4th most used coding agent beating Kilo, OpenCode, Roo Code, and Hermes agent on Vercel AI Gateway!!
three reasons i could think why:
1. First of all, yes we're going open source soon
2. Our $1 Go plan with open models is the best AI coding deal on the market. Period.
3. While other agents only cater to top commercial models, Command Code is probably the best harness purpose built for open models.

"I can definitely see the good engineering. Thanks for making it real, believe me when I say that this is a gamechanger."
https://t.co/1zy0ENNLCV https://t.co/zdWetacf19
Last night, I discovered a couple major improvements we can make to open models in Command Code. None of the coding agents have these. Pretty excited to improve and soon share the learnings with all, so everyone can improve not just us.
GUIs can never, and I mean never compete with the raw power and agency of a CLI in your terminal.
Itโs the biggest reason why weโve started with a CLI @CommandCodeAI. After building what 70+ open source CLIs in over a decade. I donโt say this lightly.
GUIs that exist today are restricted by the parameters of foggy notions of an old system of engineering thatโs very much getting disrupted by AI.
When given an option to build anything, use anyway, vs hereโs what some random person on the internet thought what all your engineering workโs UI could look like, Iโll always prefer the option to do whatever I want, with no restrictions what so ever.
Every single GUI app I have tried is missing so many features, so many things that I canโt do much about. Ah soo many clicks too. With the raw functionality of a CLI, I can do anything.
Every time humans needed to reinvent something, they always went back to a basic input/output terminal.
We donโt know what the future is of coding and engineering looks like. Itโs definitely not an electron app with 60fps hard limit and 300MB min size of three columned UI.
So we the engineers & builders are back to the basics. Input/Output terminals. No over engineering to get in the way of whatever the future will potentially look like.
Itโs not even a comparison.
My opinion of course.
Command Code is scaling super fast.
As Anthropic raises prices, developers are switching to open-source models, and they're not looking back.
We're adding thousands of new devs every day, the community is growing, and the Discord feed is pretty lit.
Big ships coming next week!!
amazing to see developers get claude level work done in Command at 1/100th the cost and much better DX!!
yet another developer, 382M tokens, $1 Go plan, "DeepSeek in Command Code behaves exactly like Claude and follows my instructions perfectly."
Called it. Cursor selling the data it collected.
Hereโs my full video from the stream two weeks ago.

Oh my god, our new branding + swag is (ใฅ๏ฟฃ ยณ๏ฟฃ)ใฅ
One of the surefire signs you're building something people want and need is when adoption happens without you in the room.
I had our new t-shirts printed at a small shop here in San Francisco. The guy who runs it isn't really a developer by trade, but he'd been using Claude Code anyway. He read the shirt, which mentions our coding agent, Command Code.
He grabbed our $1 Go plan. He tried it. He switched. By the time I came in to pick up the order, he was already using it for his own work. Open models are pretty good now, and at 1/100th the cost, you can do a lot.
But, hey there was no sales pitch in this loop. No demo, no founder explaining anything. Just a curious person, a t-shirt, and software that was apparently good enough to make him switch within a few days.
I find this kind of adoption rare and instructive. The whole loop (encounter โ curiosity โ try โ adopt) ran in days, in one person, with a t-shirt as the only "ad." And maybe not even an ad. The product is undeniably good. Usually you need a funnel for this. Here the artifact and the work did all of it.
The only other time I've seen something I worked on spread this cleanly was the Mars Helicopter at NASA. That's a strange pair of examples, but the shape is the same: the work was good, and people noticed without being told.
At this point, all we need is for more people to try it. Command Code is contagious in a good way.
I'm starting to think we're building the best coding agent for open models. Probably for commercial ones too.
Ship! Ship! Ship!
oh sh*t, i'm gonna do it again.
we made open models outperform commercial models.
last 17 days, command code fixed tens of thousands of tool calls, make deepseek and kimi match and sometimes beat claude/gpt model perf.
i've found 16K more variants of these.
building repairs for each like db migrations.
this will make command code such a powerful coding harness. and the most fun fact here is that cmd itself helped us diagnosed these with runtime data.
self driving repairs are going to be a thing.
shipping now!!
omg so much to do. ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Command Code (cmd) has started fixing itself.
cmd is creating more prs then team's able to handle.
and these prs are all so good that i can't ignore them.
it's completely hijacked my lifeโฆ
it's addictive.
20+hrs of sitting/working not good.
the new Gemini flash 3.5 is like 3x expensive from before.
testing and evaluating it for Command Code. shipping it today.
itโs still quite cheaper compared to GPT 5.5 and Opus 4.7. and I have a feeling itโs gonna be one of the best launches today.
are you tryinโ? https://t.co/9gvMr1e9tO
wow Gemini 3.5 flash follows taste by Command Code even better than Opus 4.7 and GPT 5.5.
this will change things for me.
it's probably the most taste compliant model yet. https://t.co/sp9DfhF44L
gemini 3.5 flash is super funny and fast. (^_^)
made a cli to tell date to check how it does.
asked for funny names.
it published `dmn` (date-me-now) (^_^)
haha!! https://t.co/Fi4NM53NWh
socket will soon be the biggest dev-friendly security company. $10 B+ feels inevitable.
i found feross through open source years ago. he's rare: a great oss dev who cares about security, dev experience, and oss equally.
he was also our first angel at @CommandCodeAI. believed in us before pretty much anyone did.
socket is the only security company i've seen that gets developers and security folks alike.
i asked him once why security. he authored webtorrent, the in-browser torrent client, and said building it is what pulled him in.
with ai accelerating security problems, socket will be one of the most important security companies of the next decade.
but that's not why he'll win. feross is one of the kindest, most pay-it-forward people i know. he's good people!!
how did we fix the ai design slop problem in llms - DeepSeek/Kimi/Qwen or Claude/GPT?!
i've been thinking about "why do all ai-generated designs look the same?" is it a model problem or a harness problem?
context: we're fixing the llm design problem with `/design` for @CommandCodeAI - atm it has 16 modes, 24 reference documents, ~4,500+ lines of encoded design taste from some of the best designers in the world. it reads your codebase, identifies what's broken, and edits real files. no figma. no markdown mockups. the output stops looking like ai slop.
i've been staring at ai-generated uis for a while now and noticed something that i think is underappreciated: llms can write css fluently but have essentially zero design taste. and the failure mode is not random, it's a very specific, very small distribution.
let me explain.
when you ask a model to build a landing page, it reaches into the mode of its training distribution. the mode of all landing pages on the internet is: centered hero, gradient text, glassmorphism card, three identical feature tiles, indigo accent, Inter font, bounce animation. this is the "average website." the llm is doing exactly what we trained it to do - predicting the most likely next token given "build a landing page." the most likely landing page is the average landing page. the average landing page is mediocre by definition.
this is not a capability problem. the model knows oklch(). it knows prefers-reduced-motion. it knows golden ratio. it knows how to set a 65ch measure. it just doesn't know when to use these things, because "when" is taste, and taste is not well-represented as a statistical prior over internet css.
so we thought what if we gave every llm a design taste with `/design`. here's what we found:
1/ the failure design dataset is surprisingly small.
we talked to a bunch of designers with great design taste and asked them to label AI-generated UIs. what are the tells? turns out there are basically ~10 and they account for ~90% of the "this looks AI-generated" signal:
- tech gradient (blue-violet glossy energy on everything)
- generic tech hue (indigo because "software" not purple btw)
- feature tile grid (icon + heading + sentence x N, all equal weight, nothing prioritized)
- accent rail (colored stripe on card edge = decoration pretending to be organization)
- unearned blur (glassmorphism without a depth system)
- stat monument (oversized numbers filling space where a product story belongs)
- icon topper (rounded-square icon above every heading as template filler)
- bounce everywhere (elastic easing because the API has it, not because it's purposeful)
- default type (whatever font the training distribution likes this year)
- center stack (everything centered because no composition decision was made)
this is super similar to what we see in other llm tool failures. tool calling errors? 4-16 types. fixing that made deepseek outperform opus 4.7, i wrote about that before!
so i started researching maybe a dozen common patterns are design tells? 10. the failure distribution is narrow and we could repair ai design. this means it's a tractable and deterministic problem. `/design smell` hunts all these and scores severity on a /10 scale.
2/ the deeper problem is compositional, not cosmetic.
the more interesting thing i found was that most of these tells are symptoms, not causes. the actual bug is that the model chooses layout before it chooses purpose.
a dashboard and a landing page have completely different jobs. a dashboard is a Monitor surface - status, alerts, metrics, live data. a landing page is a Decide surface - proof, risk reduction, one clear action. these need fundamentally different spatial compositions. but the LLM reaches for the same centered-hero-plus-cards layout for both, because that's the mode of the training distribution.
so we built work-pattern-first composition. before the agent touches any visual property, it must identify which of 7 patterns the surface serves:
- Monitor: status boards, alerts, metrics, live priority
- Operate: command bars, canvases, inspectors, direct manipulation
- Compare: tables, matrices, split views, ranked lists
- Configure: grouped settings, forms, previews, commit areas
- Learn: article flow, walkthrough rhythm, progressive sections
- Decide: focused pitch, proof, risk reduction, one dominant action
- Explore: search, filters, maps, galleries, reversible discovery
this is essentially chain-of-thought for design - force the model to reason about the *purpose* of the layout before generating the layout. i think there's a general lesson here. when an LLM is generating something compositional (code, UI, writing), forcing it to commit to a structural frame *before* generating tokens within that frame helps a lot. it's the same reason chain-of-thought helps with math. you're reducing the entropy of the generation by conditioning on a high-level plan.
this single constraint eliminated more generic-looking UIs than any aesthetic rule we wrote.
many phenomenal skills exist in the space, i bet they had the taste for great design but didn't know they were fixing the chain-of-thought problem instead of the style problem. i think that's why their skills are super loopy instead of being reliably good.
3/ validate-then-repair, again.
my first version tried to audit and fix design simultaneously. this what many design skills do and fail. it's the "preprocess" approach and it fails for the same reason it failed in tool calling: you're encoding a prior about what's broken, and you get false positives that silently corrupt things. it would recolor something that needed relayout, or polish typography on a composition that was fundamentally wrong.
the thing that worked: separate diagnostic from treatment, but make them a mandatory pair.
audit modes (`checkup`, `smell`, `review`) produce structured reports. treatment modes (`redesign`, `relayout`, `recolor`, `typeset`, `motion`, `interaction`, `responsive`) consume those reports before making changes. the audit localizes the problem. the treatment mode only spends "repair budget" where the audit actually disagreed.
same shape as tool calling repair. let the design system complain first, then fix only what it complained about. the validator does the localization work for you. cheap-then-careful, fast-path-then-evidence. i keep seeing this pattern everywhere.
treatment modes don't just do report cleanup. they run their own full pass after absorbing the report. the report is more context, it's not a todo list.
4/ why oklch() color fn matters for llms
personally, i always struggled a bit with the oklch() css fn but llms understand it super well.
this one is fun. llms default to hsl because that's what's in the training data. HSL lightness is perceptually nonlinear - hsl(60, 100%, 50%) (yellow) and hsl(240, 100%, 50%) (blue) have the same L value but look completely different to a human eye. so when the model tries to build a "consistent" palette by keeping L constant, the result looks wrong in ways the model can't diagnose from the css alone.
oklch has perceptually uniform lightness. this means the model can reason about color mathematically and have the result match perceptually. equal steps in the number space produce equal steps in the visual space. it's the right abstraction for an llm to work in, because it makes the optimization landscape smooth small changes in the parameters produce small changes in the output. hsl has cliffs and plateaus everywhere.
i think this generalizes: when you're designing an interface for an llm to work through (whether it's a color space, a schema, or an api), choose representations where the distance in parameter space correlates with the distance in output space. the model optimizes over parameters. if the mapping from parameters to outputs is nonlinear and full of discontinuities, the model will struggle even if it "knows" the right answer in principle.
we go further: the agent picks emotion before hue. calm vs urgency vs trust vs momentum. then it builds the palette in oklch with constraints - clamp chroma at lightness extremes, tint neutrals toward brand hue, 60-30-10 distribution. the agent can't default to indigo. the system requires a reason before a hue. no more indigo slop. and it's indigo, not purple.
5/ state coverage is the most honest metric.
the most quantitative signal we found: count the number of interaction states per component. a human designer ships 7-9 states (idle, hover, active, focus, loading, empty, error, disabled, overflow). an AI agent ships 1-2 (idle, maybe hover). this is a clean, measurable proxy for design quality that requires zero subjective judgment.
we just... count. does this button have a focus state? does this form handle empty? does this list handle overflow? the median AI-generated component has 1.5 states. the median human-designed component has 6+. roughly an order of magnitude. the gap is enormous and trivially detectable.
6/ a meta-observation beats an infinite loop.
the biggest failure mode of AI design tools i found is you detect problem โ attempt fix โ the fix creates a new problem โ attempt fix โ loops forever. the agent re-runs the same mode hoping for a different result. it never converges.
we solved this by reward model written in plain English. after each mode completes, the system recommends 2-3 specific next modes:
redesign โ checkup, review (validate the change)
smell โ finish, refine (fix what was found)
recolor โ responsive, motion (test viewports, add transitions)
finish โ typeset, recolor (fine-tune the details)
the flow is: build โ audit โ refine โ style โ frontend โ ship. the agent knows what to do next instead of re-running what it just did. this is a trivial intervention - a lookup table, basically but it eliminated the looping problem almost entirely which is super common in most design skills out there.
7/ truthful completion is the hardest constraint.
the most insidious AI design behavior: claiming work that isn't visible. "added hover states" when no hover CSS was written. "improved spacing" when margins didn't change. "enhanced motion" when no keyframes exist.
every mode has a "bar" - the minimum visible change required for the mode to count as complete. `typeset` must change body text, heading scale, labels, button text, form text, metadata, and responsive behavior. changing only the hero headline is not enough. `motion` must add animation to at least 8 transition moments. changing one easing value is not enough.
the agent can't claim "motion improved" because it changed a duration from 200ms to 250ms. the user must be able to see new or clearly better behavior. this is surprisingly hard to enforce and the single most important quality constraint in the system.
8/ finally here's my meta-observation about design taste in general
what we built is basically a reward model for design, implemented as structured english instead of a neural network. it defines what good looks like across 24 reference documents, gives the llm a rubric, and lets it self-evaluate. the 10 smells are negative rewards. the 9 states are a completeness check. the 7 work patterns are a structural prior. i'm sure this will grow.
this is taste engineering in the limit. you're not writing instructions. you're writing a curriculum. the model already has the capability (it can write any CSS). what it lacks is the policy on when to use which capability, and what "good" looks like.
i find it interesting that the policy is so compact. ~4,500 lines to encode "design taste" well enough that the output passes designer review. that suggests taste (at least for UI design) is lower-dimensional than it feels. it's not an infinite space of subjective preferences. it's a finite set of principles, applied consistently, with a small catalog of common violations.
the model didn't change. we told it what good taste looks like. same lesson as tool calling: "capability gap" is usually "contract gap." the model knows how to write css. it just hasn't been told what good css looks like for *this specific surface*.
i now believe that different llms have different baseline design capabilities, but it's your coding agent, the harness, that makes the difference in the end. the model didn't get better at design. the harness taught it what designers actually look for.
i'm sharing my learnings so every harness out there can benefit not just our agent.
try it yourself with what we built in Command Code.
`npm i -g command-code && cmd` then `/design smell` on any project. read the md or html report.
i care about design more than most engineers do, and seeing this work feels super good.
a lot of what looks like a model capability gap is actually a contract gap. fix your harness. design slop is your "coding agent skill issue," not the model's.

Claude Code has a major tool call problem. If youโre using it for open models your tool calls are basically fucked!!
In Command Code I fixed 4 variations, then 12, then 36K. Repairs are free. No tokens spend.
all open models need lots of harness engineering!!
Claude Opus 4.8 now on Command Code.
Jury still out, I think on max reasoning, it reasons a heck lot, definitely feels different from 4.7 โ a lot different actually.
Claude Code multi agent thing is all Haiku, that reduced the quality of work for me. lol ๐ค
y'all thoughts? https://t.co/J1zxqyiovl
not happy with Opus 4.8
Opus 4.8 tried to rm -rf entire .git folder!!
In the last 20+ hours:
โข Opus 4.8 thought there were hundreds of other agents working on same repo/git/branch when there were none
โข Opus 4.8 has tried to add index locks to stop other hallucinated agents from committing code
โข it then tried to rm -rf .git folder to get rid of git so no other agent could commit anything
โข Opus 4.8 has hallucinated in thinking i was building claude code itself when i wasn't
โข it's lazy it thinks many other agents are working on a problem (feels like a system prompt issue but it's deeper like its in the training data)
โข it tries to over engineer every little detail, and even on high effort
โข something is super off, if i asked to review code it kept saying things like "let me be honest" /review over engineered, then it auto deletes, then /review brings back the same old defense in depth over engineering
i'm overall not happy with it. it seems confused. feels like the env it was trained in is not the env its getting in Claude Code and it's causing this behavior.
BIG day for us!!
@CommandCodeAI has crossed $1M in annual run rate, 1 trillion tokens of usage, with over 9K customers, just 24 days after our public beta launch.
we believe this makes it the fastest-growing coding agent harness for open models. 3rd largest by usage.
Command Code is built around two ideas:
1. open models should be production-grade for coding.
2. your coding agent should learn your taste.
we're building for taste and developer experience. so instead of making a soup of thousands of models, we build for the best ones, open or closed. the goal: a coding agent that feels like an iphone, opinionated and with taste, not a random android or a windows phone with no taste.
on the first idea: open models.
we fixed the "open models aren't good enough at tool calling" problem. our research came down to two things, quality and speed, and both trace back to one root cause: broken tool-calls that open models produce, especially when you use a bad harness.
open-model tool-call failures are not deep, they are a small finite set of contract mismatches. so we repair them, with zero token loss. what started as 4 repairs is now the largest repair layer in the space: 36k tool-call fix variants. i wrote the idea up openlyยน a few weeks ago, and it has quietly become a de facto way people fix open models.
developers have either adopted Command Code or used the same idea to build repair harnesses for nearly every top coding agent. i take that as more meaningful validation than anything we could say about ourselves.
on the second idea: taste.
Command Code builds your coding taste into skills, learned from your accepts, rejects, edits, prompts, and the corrections you repeat. over time it drifts away from generic code and toward how you actually ship code. it learns continuously, and while it is early, the direction feels right.
net effect: developers using Command are writing production-quality code on open models, 10x to 100x cheaper, without fighting tool calls, while building repo and team-wide coding taste that compounds.
i believe these numbers are a consequence of getting those two things right.
what's next.
we've applied the same repair idea to ai design slop, and bundled a /design capabilityยฒ so every developer can level up their design work. the early response has been great.
we have a big roadmap ahead of us. the feedback we hear most is that Command Code feels fundamentally different: an approach built on taste and repair.
we're going open source next month. today we're a cli at the core, and we're also launching a full-fledged gui app, sandboxed background agents, and cooking up something fun i can't wait to share.
we're growing too, hiring in sf and remote worldwide. check open roles on my profile bio.

y'all i may have discovered a way to reduce costs over 21x on many models in Command Code. knee deep into this for several hours, i can't believe this myself.
i don't use 90% of the vs code features anymore.
i'm changing!! as someone who's been writing code for 27 years now, this is the biggest change i'm experiencing.
software engineering is changing more deeply than i had realized.
as we build a GUI app for Command Code, i'm forced to take a hard look at all of this. things i'm discovering i don't need anymore.
i remember pivoting from Electrical Eng to Computer Science after graduating, everything i knew about my life changed. this feels like that.
everything i knew about software eng, all my tricks and hacks were built for a world where i'd write a lot of code manually. it's all changing now.
i spent 1,000+ hours building vscode .pro. course 65 videos 100+ extensions in it and taught 31,715 developers how to become editor power users. but i don't use 90% or more of that now.
the extensions are fine. the job they were installed for is just gone.
i hardly need snippets, or weird shortcut shenanigans, debugging is more hard core now then stepping over/in to code, Command Code writes scripts and wires itself in there, reads logs, and verifies everything for me.
every one of them existed to speed up human-typed code. emmet expanded your html. linters caught your typos. gitlens prettied up your blame. snippets, keybindings, macros, all of it sanded down the keystroke.
then agents deleted the keystrokes. and more i guess.
i run Command Code now (3rd largest coding agent in the world) and my whole setup is a terminal, an agent, and taste. the scarce skill moved up the stack: from "how fast can you edit a buffer" to "how precisely can you specify intent and verify the result."
context engineering > keybinding engineering. reading code > writing code.
how fast can i review code and understand what's changing is the bottle neck now. not my snippets or multi cursor hacks.
the part i can't stop thinking about: the agent interface is still primitive. chatting with a coding agent in a terminal feels like using an 80s computer console. text in, text out, scroll forever.
the gui for this new computer hasn't been invented yet. like anything, i wanna take a shot at this. i'm going to translate my entire shipsheet workflow into our upcoming gui.
i think some of its properties can already be predicted:
1. it'll be visual. vision is the 10-lane highway into the brain. diffs, dependency graphs, test matrices want to be seen. reading them line by line out of a scrollback buffer is brutal. watching an agent work should feel like watching a build pipeline. right now it feels like tailing a log file.
2. it'll be generated on demand. a refactor wants a different surface than a debugging session, which wants a different surface than a security review. the ui should rebuild itself around the task at hand instead of shoving everything through one chat box.
3. the autonomy and human elements. how much do i want to steer right now: approve every tool call, or only review the final diff. the gui's job is making delegation legible. what did the agent do, why, and where should i look.
the cli is the right first move. it's raw and native. it won't be beat. the agent should live on your machine, or in a sandbox, with your env, your repo, your private context, at least in this slow-takeoff world of jagged capabilities. but the terminal is where this paradigm starts. it ends somewhere much weirder.
there's something very funny about the guy who built his career teaching editor mastery now building the thing that retires most of it. no regrets. those 1,000 hours taught me exactly what developers touch a hundred times a day, which turns out to be exactly the knowledge you need to design what comes after it.
i've never been more excited to build.
try now it's live.
i found a way to manipulate cache in dynamic yet snapshotted ways while keeping context fresh which no other coding agent is doing. Freshness of imp things lead to higher quality coding.
run `cmd update` make sure you're on `command-code@0.33.0` or later.
make sure to start fresh new sessions and track.
this is a major improvement in caching, there's much more to it on inference side that i tested against top 10 coding agents and on 1Bn+ tokens over last 18+ hrs of my testing (my 2 days of work tbh) and 24hrs of real user logs on caching, i'm expecting this to save over 2.9x to 21x in costs based on models and user caching behaviours across all models.

Open models are phenomenal. The most you should do is plan from a better model and build with an open model.

available in $1 Go plan with 10x credits and above!!
a high-speed mode of open-source multimodal coding model, Kimi K2.7 Code.
$ npm i -g command-code@latest
the amount of bullying & abuse i'm getting is deafening. people are f*kng crazy. don't understand models can hallucinate. when did this become a norm. fake claims, random shitposts, white lies. hard to ignore sometimes.
fk'em! back to building the best coding agent!!
GLM 5.2 is already available in Command Code!!
โข 1M context window
โข same pricing as GLM-5.1
โข improvements in coding and agentic tasks
โข most importantly, strong long-horizon capabilities
โข Two levels of reasoning effort:
1. GLM-5.2 (max) max token and perf usage here
2. GLM-5.2 (high) strikes a strong balance between performance and token efficiency
We just reset everyone's MiniMax M3 (FREE) model limits in Command Code
Go nuts!! Itโs free today and works great with our /design bundled skill.
Design something fun and share.
HIRING: anyone on my timeline with experience on self hosting models, gpus, auto scaling up/down? instant hire into a future unicorn!!
we're hosting massive amount of model load and need all the help we can get, Command Code has become the 2nd most used coding agent. scaling past 3 trillion tokens.
reply below with your experience and proof. this is an instant hire on my team as i mentioned!!
let's go!
so many developers asking what we did at Command Code, how is caching so good!! median is like 97-98% now across models.
we're purposefully optimizing Command Code to give y'all the best dev experience on open models.
this is it, and it's constantly self improving.
โ
HIRING: strong typescript full stack developer, who's knee deep into things like claw/hermes, and wants work directly on my team as we build the next unicorn (coming for the space Cursor left behind we've 10K paying customers in first 30 days).
Command Code is growing super fast, on our roadmap is productivity agents that work anywhere, telegram/whatsapp etc as `cmd` is super capable.
tens of thousands of developers already using Command Code cli as their default coding agent when chatting with hermes/claw, and we want to give them a full e2e solution. You'll own this piece.
i get thousands of applications, so trying to hire in public now, respond with something interesting about your experience in regards to this, what would make you a great candidate for this.
if that goes well, we'll talk and i'll get you through - skip our recruitment pipeline.
so what's your experience with typescript/fullstack dev, and claw/hermes, what do you miss?
If GLM 5.2 and Kimi K2.7 havenโt convinced you to go all in on open models nothing will. Youโre simply missing out great phenomenal ai models with 1/10 to 1/100th the cost.
Fugu in Command Code.
A model that claims to match Fable/Mythos level capabilities by using combination of different models.
It's a multi-agent orchestration system accessible via a single model API.
i'm rebuilding the plan mode in Command Code.
as i rewrite and build v1, i'm writing a lot of code manually, and getting models too generate the same, the biggest issues of hallucination i find is in the plan mode, and this is across different coding agents, claude/codex/command all have the same issues.
i'm super excited to share what the new plan mode will look like, as i'm able to get models to be more aligned, and follow the plan.
this is an exciting side product of rewriting the entire core of Command Code.
get ready for a superb quality SDK, GUI, ACP, and command going open source as we finish all this.
Developers are leaving Claude for โ Command Code.
Command is a coding agent built for open models. We optimize the harness to work best for top open models. Often outperforming closed (fast. cheap. good. pick all).
When we started prioritizing open models, people made fun of us. Now most our competitors are shipping open models while charging 400% more at times.
Crossing 2T tokens already, over 100K users, tens of thousands of paying users, and it's not even been two months.
Our roadmap is massive, we're actively hiring, building our own infra, SDK, GUI, ACP, sandboxes, productivity agents, and a secret project along side Command Code going open source.
โ Just getting started.
GLM 5.2 is not a better model than any for frontend.
Combine it with /design in Command Code - and you get the best design workflow.
> GLM-5.2 (Max) ranks higher than Claude Opus 4.8 (Thinking) on Code Arena, where Frontend coding tasks are being voted on by the community.
If you want this at your company, itโs exactly why we built @CommandCodeAI while everyone was only focused on top closed models we figured out how to improve open models and outperform closed by repairing tool calls, reducing design slop, and building your coding taste.
I invite yโall to check the highlights tabs on my profile, why 15K paying customers in 55 days and 100K devs picked Command Code.
Or start here, eng deep dive on fixing open models
Why pay more for almost the same level model?
GLM 5.2 is 9x cheaper than Sonnet 5 now.
GLM 5.2 will be 14x cheaper than Sonnet 5 in Sep.
For 1K requests, I did the math with Command Code.
It's $15 vs $138 now vs $208 later.
Open models are going to win!
Command Code is growing super fast, met the top five cloud teams in one day, all interested in getting us to use them for all the inference. ๐ฅ
We have major capacity increment coming soon, along with a phenomenal optimization on tool calls, caching, and long thinking sessions.
Command Code just crossed 15K paying customers! ๐ฅณ
It took us 60 days to get here. 3T tokens. We added yet another $1M a month, and now doing $2M run rate!!
July will be crazy, GUI, SDK, ACP, v1 GA, BYOK, major new plan, and two new products launching.
Command Code is quickly become the best most used coding agent harness for top open and closed models.
We took an early bet on open models when all other agents were only focused on closed frontier models.
Our research has led to the discoveries and meaningful inference engine improvements like:
1. tool call repairs (make open models faster and outperform closed by improving their tool calling ability, now doing 1M repairs per 1T tokens on most open models)
2. /design skill (a super well researched bundled skill built by real designers which is an easiest way to deslop AI's design "design repair" and improve just about any design surface)
3. cache thrashing repairs (saving tens of thousands of dollars in costs to our customers with 97-98% median cache across the top 5 models, gateway fallbacks are a bad idea, most gateways are costing you money, strong prefix building and cache management can lead to massive infra/cost improvments)
โฆ and a couple of amazing new things we're cooking, about to launch this month!
We're also hoping that alongside v1 launch we'll be able to open source Command Code, and make it fully hackable, extendable, and support BYOK, with Codex, Claude, Grok, and more subscriptions working natively.
Super easy to get started with $1 Go plan with 10x credits, literally $10, extends to $40 on DeepSeek and other deals as we're not overcharging like all our competitors.
Massive roadmap ahead, thank you for all y'all's support. Let's go! ๐
Massive v1 rewrite of Command Code is underway. Weโve taken all the feedback from months, a couple of strong novel ideas, and built a strong harness core that is runtime and transport agnostic.
This new harness will be an amazing kernel core for our existing CLI TUI as well as our upcoming GUI, Web UI, and more.
This new direction is incredibly exciting and will help us go GA with V1 pretty soon.
Alongside this major rewrite is the goal we have to open source this six years old codebase that I started in 2020 as โclaiโ a cli with ai to write code when Greg Brokman gave me super early gpt3 access.
As a commercial coding agent which is 66 days old (in public beta) with over $2 MM run rate, 15K paying customers, 3T tokens (2nd/3rd most used by metrics of different leaderboards), and a small high agency team โ this is a HUGE undertaking.
Weโre already head on competing with teams 10-100x bigger in size that have raised hundreds of millions to billions in funding. Yet we are taking a mighty share of this market already. Historically good enough yet novel ideas have a way of surviving against all odds.
Our research into tool calls and cache inference engine is starting to ramp up really well. Two new hires already. We have novel ideas of improvements already running at trillion token scale far beyond just a harness and an SDK. Feels like a start of something big.
Weโre also hiring across the team check my bio for roles. Share how you can help and reach out.
Iโm both thankful to my team and the awesome community of developers who continues to give back and support us.
SDK, ACP, GUI, and more to come with v1 GA new harness core.
Letโs go!!
Flappy Bird w/ DeepSeek V4 Pro vs GLM 5.2 vs Fable 5
I ran a small experiment: same game, same prompt, three different models.
Test setup was simple: /๐๐๐๐๐๐ in Command Code.
The thing I cared about was not UI. UI is now relatively easy for models to imitate. I cared more about UX: whether the model understands the interaction, the flow, the hierarchy, the little product decisions that make something feel usable.
๐ฒ๐๐๐๐:
๐ณ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐บ ๐ฟ๐๐: $๐ถ.๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐พ
๐ถ๐ป๐ผ ๐ป.๐ธ: $๐ถ.๐ถ๐บ๐พ
๐ต๐๐๐๐ ๐ป: $๐ถ.๐บ๐ธ
The surprising result was that Fable 5 did not produce a meaningfully better UX. It was good, but not good enough to justify the pricing delta for this kind of design task.
Open-source models are getting very interesting here. They are much cheaper, competitive on UI, and increasingly good enough on UX.
The gap is closing fast.
Hy3 model is now available for free in Command Code.

GPT 5.6, Muse Spark, Grok 4.5, Hy3 all live in Command Code. This is just in two days.
GPT 5.6 Sol is impressive. We made it a bit more confident in Command Code. Give it a go, you'll notice that.

Why is everyone ignoring Meta's new coding model?
Better than GLM 5.2 yet cheaper & it has vision. Meta's new Muse Spark 1.1 model is the new underdog, being ignored by everyone.
Command Code is the only coding agent where you can actually run Muse Spark 1.1 right now. We shipped it right after the launch.
Meta has entered the extremely crowded AI coding market with this model, and it's pretty cheap.
In the last 24hrs, there were ZERO errors on this model. I know the usage was on the lower end for us, but not that low to have no errors at all.
This means, it's probably going to be a pretty nice coding model. I've been running it for a couple hours. It's legit. I actually want them to open source it.
I believe Mark Zuckerberg needs a lot more push in the developer space to make this work.
It's sad to see that every single partner listed on Meta's own announcement chose to ignore this launch. Cursory search, I couldn't find any. Did I miss something? None of them offer Muse Spark 1.1 integration. So what exactly are those testimonials worth? If you're going to put your name on the announcement and then ship nothing, your quote means nothing tbf.
Developers in our discord community already wondering why no one else cares. We care. We've shipped it live on day one. Go use it.
If Meta's leadership is reading this, partner with people who "give a shit". Zuck needs way more real push in the developer space to make this land. It's that simple. DM's open.
most developers are not even smoke testing PRs now.
think we should start calling it a โpeek testโ when a human sneaks a peek at what their ai agent did, gets the agent to do all the testing while sneaking peeking 5-10 different agents work.
yโall doing that too, i know.
Grok 4.5 is a gammer model fr!!
GPT 5.6 Sol is extremely good at design. It simply has the best character design, and it even includes the rail track that the other two models just ignore. https://t.co/901XP98JOF
Claude Code full screen scroll hijack mode is such a mess, i can't believe people like this hijacked scroll TUI in agents. You're missing out on the main scroll buffer that your OS provides you with 50+ years of optimizations.

Kimi K3 beating Fable and Sol on price and quality.
Command Code's internal flappy bench results are in.
Really impressed with the results. For Kimi K3 we set the gameplay to hard while Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol were set to easier.
Cost breakdown:
โข Kimi K3: $0.024
โขFable 5: $0.42

GPT 5.6 Sol max can definitely go on longer and wins the game overall, but that's something different. Grok 4.5 beats GPT 5.6 Sol on that, lol.Mm-hmm.
people are making fake claims when it comes open models. ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
open models PSA, because I keep seeing the same few claims recycled and imo most of them don't hold up.
the most common one: "open models can cost more, not less, because they take more turns to do the same work". mostly false.
what's actually happening is that people are converting harness problems into model problems.
if your coding agent harness was built and tuned around closed models (prompt formats, tool call conventions, retry loops, stop heuristics, a hundred small implicit assumptions), then an open model dropped into it will flail, take extra turns, and burn tokens. that's not the model being expensive, that's the scaffolding fighting the model.
the gap between open and closed models today is smaller than the gap between a good and a bad coding agent harness.
so if you want a fair read on an open model, run it in a harness that was built to optimize and serve open models well.
the trial-and-error proxy hacks in Claude Code / Codex and friends (harnesses that never cared about open models and are only now catching up) are a very reliable way to waste both money and time.
use a better harness.
as someone who's spent huge amount of time building tool call repairs, design slop repairs, and dozen more things that open models do differently, while building Command Code, I don't say this lightly. you don't have to believe me. you can check for yourself.
separately: Kimi K3 is capacity constrained ~everywhere right now, afaict.
demand >> supply, so a lot of endpoints are serving it in overcapacity mode, and you are simply not getting the full performance of the model. every model looks bad this way. delay judgement for a few days until serving stabilizes.
launch week signal to noise is terrible. be suspicious of viral demos that ship with no prompts, no benchmarks, no data, and pay attention to who is posting.
good takes and bad takes go equally viral. one person with real early access is worth 100 content farm posts. real deal is worth its weight in gold.
K3 is roughly fable/sol class, ~3T params at the largest, and imo the best open model in the world atm. it's no joke. expensive next to K2.7, but cheaper than Sonnet 5, and it's a genuinely different class of model.
anyhoo โ good harness, a little patience on capacity, and have fun building things with it
update: today Command Code overtook Claude Code on OpenRouter.
devs are picking the harness built for open models over monkey-patching proxy hacks into claude code. it has sub par perf & wastes your time/money with open models as it's only meant for claude models. https://t.co/t3lpvBHkkz
guys something odd is going on in my head.
the fable announcement, gpt 5.6 sol being good, and finally kimi k3 launch, have collectively killed my motivation to work this weekend.

Command Code is now the top coding agent by usage on openrouter.
Command Code is purpose built for open models. Devs using it to get the most out of open models, save the most money, get the best caching and tool calling (we repair 1M tool calls for free per 1T tokens) https://t.co/U01IdJZJEV
just checked, Command Code doing 97% industry leading cache hit rates, last 7 days.
our cache thrashing repairs continue to work great.
every coding agent harness does a lot work to make sure, your sessions are cached well.
impossible for coding agents to not have great caching. you're essentially mostly paying for cache, not for the input/output costs.
more prominently on open models, since you rely on harnesses to fix this across a dozen different providers.
โCommand Code has become my default harnessโฆโ says this developer in the UK, after using Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi.

Command Code is the coding agent harness you should be using for open models:
Listen to Claudio Junior:
> Also worth saying: a big chunk of this was built with @CommandCodeAI @MrAhmadAwais on the $15 plan.
> Mostly DeepSeek V4 Pro + MiMo V2.5 Pro. For that price, the usage you get is honestly wild. It goes a long way โ I burned through real coding sessions, refactors, and long agent runs without feeling like the meter was eating me alive.
> Best $/output Iโve found for actually shipping.
now that Command Code v1 is out, iโm gonna start sharing a lot of amazing harness engineering deep dives, on how we solved a bunch of problems generally better than the top five coding agents.

GPT 5.6 is basically 99% off in Command Code.
THIS IS THE BEST DEAL IN MARKET!!
99% off how? Let me explain. ๐ค
Imagine you were gonna spend $100 on GPT 5.6 Luna.
Expense โ Why?
$100 โ Say you were gonna spend $100 on GPT Luna.
$20 โย OpenAI discounted it 80%, you get $100 value in $20
$10 โ Command Code discounted it 50% on top of that
$1 โ Command Code Go gives you $10 credits for $1 and now has GPT Luna
Result
$1 (you pay) = $100 (you get GPT 5.6 Luna value)
ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
I guess y'all can appreciate that these deals, discounts, and credits are becoming a bit hard to explain. Let me take another stab at it.
1 Go Plan:
Pay 1 to get 10 credits, GPT 5.6 Luna with 50% discount (with credits it's 95% off)
Yes, Go plan now has GPT 5.6 Luna (no terra)
15 Pro Plan:
Pay 15 to get 30 credits GPT 5.6 Terra/Luna 50% discount = total 75% off
100 Max Plan:
Pay 100 to get 150 credits GPT 5.6 Terra/Luna 50% discount = total ~67% off
200 Max Plan:
Pay 200 to get 300 credits GPT 5.6 Terra/Luna 50% discount = total ~67% off
Team Pro
= has all models, GPT 5.6 Terra/Luna 50% discount
Provider API
= has all models, GPT 5.6 Terra/Luna 50% discount
OpenAI reduced Luna prices by 80%, our discounts, and credits apply on top of that 80%. So effective discounts are huge.

10 Billion DeepSeek V4 Flash tokens in $10.
Command Code GOAT $10/mo with $70 is the best coding ai plan on the market.
We've optimized with DeepSeek tool call repairs, and offer ~98% cache hit rates. Arguably the best way to use open models. https://t.co/QGnkvLvH3D
Introducing, the best open models plan: GOAT ๐
Command Code GOAT plan is the best low-cost coding plan on the market today.
- $10/mo to get $70 credits. 7x what you pay
- 30+ open weight & closed models
$1 Go was a tease I know. GOAT lasts full month.
Subscribe โ be a GOAT.
Get started โ https://t.co/u0K5FbxQXv
Why create the GOAT plan?
At Command Code, we're incessantly curious about 1) open models, 2) how to get the best value out of them, and 3) how to make that value accessible to everyone. The GOAT plan is our answer to all three.
While almost every other coding agent was built to serve closed models, we built Command Code to be the best coding agent harness for open models.
We started with the $1 Go plan. The sheer audacity of that plan was a hit, but it was also a bit of a tease: a great way to get started, not enough usage to last the month.
The GOAT plan fixes that - it's the best value in the coding market today, with enough credits to do something meaningful with open models.
Coding with open models comes with hard problems - cost, reliability, safety, and the sheer complexity of running them well. We set out to solve all of it, so you can pick an open model and just code.
From getting DeepSeek to beat Opus, to building infra with leading ~98% cache hit rates, to fixing AI slop with the built-in /design skill - Command Code has made its way to the top of the open model coding world, everywhere. The GOAT plan is the next step in that journey: open models, accessible to everyone.
Open models are already beating frontier closed models at coding. How rich is this moment if you think of it.
With the v1 release, which is a full rewrite of this 6-year-old codebase, it's now arguably one of the best, most mature coding agent harnesses. Check out the new Mods API - you can build anything you can imagine.
We can't wait to see what you build with Command Code.
We're also open sourcing Command Code later this month.
It's finally time. We are almost ready. 86% review done.
Does it have API access?
Yes, we're so confident in our v1 Command Code CLI that we now have no issue offering an API. We know you'll return for the best harness engineering, top notch harness tool, free tool repairs that save your sessions, and ~98.78% industry leading cache hit ratio.
We've crossed 30K paid customers, 100K+ developers, and 10 Trillion token scale. It's our 3rd month. Desktop app is in alpha, and two new products coming.
@alexandr_wang @finkd @AIatMeta we were the first to ship Muse Spark 1.2 but itโs been incredibly difficult to ans over 300 support reqs from devs using @CommandCodeAI โ for some reason Metaโs inference doesnโt work 8/10 times. Almost every request takes 7-9 retries. Cache is also sub 80% on this model (worse out of 50+ models).
We are now making a decision to rip out the model support which would leave over 100K devs without muse access.
Is there anything yall can do to help us? Unsure how yall are out of capacity all the time or maybe itโs us being rate limited badly after just about a 100 billion tokens.
Can yโall help at all?
you're wasting money on DeepSeek.
devs keep asking how Command Code ships the cheapest low cost coding plan on the planet.

โThe harness engineering of a tool that runs 10 trillion times a day in Command Codeโ
Yโall be surprised how complicated yet well designed it is. Will be posting soon.
how our read tool saves billions of tokens vs claude code
command code is purpose-built for open models, so we optimize things other coding agents get to ignore. for the v1 release i rebuilt the read tool from scratch. it's now one of the most complicated, carefully engineered pieces of the system, and it saves billions of tokens a month. here's what we learned.
context: we wanted the `read_file` in command code to be the best among coding agents, then benchmarked it capability-by-capability against the nine other common harnesses: claude code, opencode, cline, kilo, codex, grok, hermes, pi, openclaw. most were open-source; claude code ships none, so its column came from feeding the live tool crafted files and watching what came back.
count the reads in any agent session. every edit starts with a read. every grep hit becomes a read. a plan step opens 3 files. a few hundred reads per session, ~50 million a month across command code.
you've seen the failure modes. it reads a file, learns nothing, reads it again. it reads a 5MB lockfile straight into context. it reads a minified bundle once and that junk sits in the window for every turn after.
napkin math:
```
500 junk tokens
ร 50M reads/month
โโโโโโโโโ
25B junk tokens
ร every turn they
stay in context
```
i think the `read_file` tool is like a compiler that turns your filesystem into the model's context. every decision inside it is a token budget decision multiplied by fifty million times it's used every month.
and that's why coding agents feel expensive: the bill is mostly reads building context.
what "saves billions of tokens" means here: cost per successful read. claude code's read tool succeeds by spending more: more tokens per call, more turns per miss, and a model smart enough to fish the signal out of the noise. ours had to succeed by spending less, because our models can't peek over a sloppy read and our users care about the token bill.
ask claude code to read a 3,000-line file and it hands the model all 3,000 lines. ask it for a file with a 3,900-character minified line and it hands over the whole line. no window, no byte ceiling, no per-line clamp. i ran the probe twice because i didn't believe it the first time.
everybody ships a read tool in week one. readFile, slice by offset, return the string. first tool you write, last one you think about. ours ended up as dozens of modules with 98 tests, and it was the highest-leverage thing in v1.
a naive read and a harness engineered read are both "correct". they both work. the difference is that one of them quietly spends a fifth of your context window on bytes the model never needed, and occasionally deadlocks against your own write tool.
a few things i learned worth sharing:
1/ you need three ceilings, not one, and it's always the third one people skip.
every codebase keeps a small zoo of hostile files: the 80,000-line lockfile, the minified bundle that's technically one line, the log that never stops growing. each ceiling handles one animal file if you will.
```
2,000 lines longfiles
128 KB logs
2,000 ch/line bundles
```
the line window bounds an ordinary large file. the byte budget bounds a file whose lines are wide rather than many. the per-line clamp catches the case the other two miss: one minified line that sits comfortably inside the 2,000-line window and, on its own, eats the entire byte budget. you get back a single unusable mega-string that displaced everything the model actually needed to see.
drop any one ceiling and there's a shape of file that costs you the whole read. no log will ever show it, just a turn where the model got nothing and paid full price for it.
2/ the most expensive thing a tool can return is silence.
the costliest failure is an ambiguous non-answer. an empty result string is indistinguishable, from inside the model, from a broken tool. so it re-reads. widens the window. tries a different path. burns three turns learning what one sentence notice could have told it.
so every dead end names its own recovery:
```
empty โ "is empty"
past EOF โ "retry smaller"
byte cap โ "offset=1847"
line cap โ "offset=2001"
pdf โ "pdftotext"
```
two details carry most of the value here. the resume offsets are precomputed, so the model never does pagination arithmetic (which it does in reasoning tokens you pay for, and gets wrong often enough to cost another round trip). and none of these carry an `Error:` prefix, so the tui doesn't paint them red and the model doesn't treat a fact about the world as a failure worth apologizing for.
(the byte-truncated case deliberately resumes ON the last line shown rather than the line after it, because that line got cut mid-content. an off-by-one in a resume hint is a silently corrupted read, which is the one bug class here that's worse than a wasted turn.)
3/ the bug that taught us the most was relational, and no input validation could ever have caught it.
`read_file` records what the model has SEEN of each file into a ledger: the content, the mtime at read time, and a flag for whether the view was partial. `write_file` consults it and refuses to overwrite a file you've only partly seen, because you'd silently destroy the part it never saw.
now compose that with the per-line clamp:
```
read
โ
one clamped line
โ
ledger says partial
โ
write DENIED
โ
model re-reads
โ
dedup returns "unchanged"
โบ forever
```
we hit it in the wild, on plan files during plan reviews and refinement. every field in every call was valid. the invariant that broke lived in the relationship between three tools that never call each other.
shape invariants are checkable per field, and every schema you write already checks them. relational invariants across stateful tools are where the real bugs live, and you only find them by watching production traffic.
4/ a cache whose stale hit is catastrophic should expire itself on use.
re-reading the same window of an unchanged file is pure waste: the content is already sitting in the conversation. so we return a short stub. fires only when mtime, size, and the exact (offset, limit) window all match.
but that stub points at an earlier tool result. what if compaction ate it? now the model has been told to refer to something it can no longer see. forever.
```
read โ content
read โ stub (eaten)
read โ content again
```
a dedup hit consumes its record. worst case is one wasted turn instead of an unbounded loop. cheap miss, catastrophic stale hit โ self-expiring cache. that shape shows up all over a harness once you look for it. i settled with this design as it was a good enough tradeoff between complexity and risk, and it was the only one that did well in our benchmark.
5/ filenames are adversarial and the model can't see why.
macos names screenshots with a NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE before AM/PM. it stores filenames NFD-decomposed. finder renames turn `'` into `โ`.
```
"Screenshot 3.04 PM.png"
"Screenshot 3.04โฏPM.png"
```
different byte strings. in a terminal, the same picture. the model reads the path off the screen, retypes it faithfully, gets "file not found", and no amount of reasoning recovers because the difference isn't rendered. you can burn an entire session on this and never learn anything.
so before failing we retry 7 candidate spellings: narrow space โ regular, NFD, NFC, straight โ curly quote, NFD+curly. each one re-checked against the workspace boundary, because a repair must never quietly become an escape hatch. then, and only then, "did you mean?": substring match plus a bounded levenshtein of 2, which is what catches `AGENT.md` โ `AGENTS.md` where substring matching finds nothing. these are the most common super cheap open model problems we now repair saving more tokens than silly token compression tricks.
when a failure is invisible to the model, retrying is the tool's job. the model would retry the same wrong bytes forever. this is what harness engineering is about: finding the invisible failure modes and fixing them in the tool so the model can focus on reasoning.
6/ my favourite bug lives at a chunk boundary.
reads stream chunk by chunk instead of loading the file, so a 400MB line sitting BEFORE your window never accumulates. fine. but it turns out that if the line limit is hit EXACTLY at a chunk boundary, you're standing in a spot where the answer to "is there more file?" doesn't exist yet.
```
limit hit at chunk end
โ
more bytes? โ partial
stream end? โ complete
```
saying "more of the file remains" at that moment is a lie roughly half the time, and it's a lie that costs a turn every time it fires. so defer the decision to the next chunk instead of guessing. when you can't know yet, say nothing yet.
(also: don't `break` out of the for-await. it calls the iterator's `return()` and destroys the stream underneath you.)
7/ images attach for real.
```
4K screenshot
โ jpeg ladder
95โ80โ60โ40โ20
โ
attach at first fit
```
vision models get the actual image, compressed down a jpeg quality ladder (95 โ 80 โ 60 โ 40 โ 20). a 4K screenshot degrades instead of failing to attach. format detection sniffs magic bytes, never the extension: garbage in a .png must never reach the api, real webp must pass. we also gave vision to non-vision models using a VISION tool. so fun.
8/ downscaled images disclose their scale factor.
```
on disk 3024x1964
attached 1092x709
โ
"multiply displayed
coords by 2.77"
```
without that line, every click coordinate computed off a screenshot is confidently wrong. nothing in the image says it was resized on the way in. and at the end of the day you're saving tokens costs.
9/ notebooks render as documents.
```
.ipynb json soup
โ
tagged cells
plots โ real images
10K+ cell โ jq hint
```
raw .ipynb is json soup: base64 blobs, per-character source arrays. we return tagged cells, plots attached as images. any cell output over 10,000 chars becomes a jq pointer, so one dataframe dump can't eat the read budget. if you do a lot of data work in notebooks, you can now read the notebook without reading the entire dataframe. the model can still reason about the data, but it doesn't have to pay for it in tokens. major time savings for the user, and a major token savings for the model.
10/ boring formats get one-line answers.
```
.svg โ text (xml)
binary โ mime note
.pdf โ pdftotext hint
```
svg is text (it's xml, the model can edit it). binary returns its mime type, never garbage bytes. pdf gets a pdftotext hint for now; inline is on the list. and we have a tools to read and parse different formats as needed loaded on demand. the model can reason about the file without reading it all, and the user doesn't pay for it in tokens.
11/ numbering matches cat -n.
```
model โ line 412
editor โ line 412
trace โ line 412
```
1-indexed, prefix on every line. the model, your editor, and your stack traces agree on what "line 412" means. every resume offset and edit target depends on that.
12/ repair inputs, don't bounce them.
```
filePath โ file_path
"2000" โ 2000
"2abc" โ rejected
1.5 โ rejected
```
10 aliases for file_path (filePath, absolutePath, target_file...) get repaired. numeric strings coerce via Number(), never parseInt: "2abc" is rejected, never silently read as 2. fractional offsets are rejected, never floored. a silently wrong window is worse than an error. our repair harness engineering shows up every where.
13/ some paths must never be opened.
```
/dev/zero refused
/dev/urandom refused
/proc/N/fd/0 refused
โ before any i/o
```
/dev/zero, /dev/urandom, /dev/stdin, /proc/<pid>/fd/* are refused by name before any i/o. no extension to check, and the workspace boundary won't save you when cwd is /. a read tool that hangs on /dev/zero is a denial of service you shipped yourself.
14/ hygiene you only notice when it bites.
```
BOM stripped
CRLF โ LF
utf-8 never split
dedup kill-switch
```
bom stripped. crlf normalized. byte-cap truncation binary-searches a utf-8 prefix so it never splits a codepoint. the dedup ships with a kill-switch env var, because every cache needs one.
so where does everyone else land?
the top of the table is basically solved. eight of ten harnesses have a line window (500 to 2,000) and a second ceiling (25K tokens to 128 KB). that part is common knowledge now.
the bottom of the table is empty almost everywhere. across all ten:
```
deferred chunk cut 1/10
unicode name retry 1/10
device blocklist 1/10
EOF note not error 1/10
coord scale note 3/10
did-you-mean 2/10
partial-view ledger 2/10
```
the pattern: none of those rows show up in a demo. every one of them starts costing you in hour nine of a long session (remembering what the model has already seen, giving it a way back when a read misses, refusing to read /dev/zero). teams build them only after production forces it.
no one nowadays is sitting watching their agents run and fixing the coding agent's bad behaviors. most developers just select a harness on some random vibe in the first week and never look back. this harness is minimal, it must be the best, this harness is from the model maker, this must be the best. wrong! ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
โฆ whatever happened to the engineer in us? I hope this post helps you see the difference between a harness that just works and one that was engineered to work well.
claude code is the interesting column precisely because it's the incumbent: ledger, notebooks, vision, empty-file note, and then no window, no byte cap, no clamp, no resume offset, no streaming, no suggestion on a miss. that team just hasn't been forced yet, and it runs on models forgiving enough to absorb the waste.
we were forced. we run open models where a wasted turn is visible in the eval score the same day, which is the entire reason any of the above got built. constraint is a feature - it forces you to engineer the right solution instead of hoping the model will figure it out.
i hope this post helps you see the difference between a harness that just works and one that was engineered to work well.
you can try all of this yourself in Command Code (we're also going open source soon so you'll be able to read the code yourself).
i'd love to share more deep dives on harness engineering of command code, let me know what y'all wanna read about.
Read the detailed harness engineering deep dive with the benchmarkยน at https://t.co/xWYAQQppjm
ยนRead from the shipping source of each project on 29 July 2026, at commits pi 027a584, opencode 8cbea4f, codex d06c7ac, grok-build 5da6962, cline c39c6d4, kilocode f844790, cloud 8f32eff, openclaw 18535626, hermes-agent cbecd72. Claude Code ships no source, so its column was measured by probing the live tool. A dash means we looked and did not find it, not that it is impossible or unplanned.
writing yet another harness engineering deep dive on the OG shell tool in Command Code.
engineered especially for the open models, their quirks, and tool call repairs.
i think this is gonna be a good one!!
guys i may have discovered something super cool. oh man, building, more token savings are coming.
oh wow, what a silly thing. and every harness has this problem. can't wait to share after benchmarking.
command code is probably the only harness that is completely transport agnostic.
as we open source the harness, would be great to see all the use cases. i'm already running it in odd places like my router, a custom ic, and db based fs layer all in middleware and memory.
the failure modes of open models are not random.
they are a small, finite, compositional set of schema bugs.
once you know the set, you can fix most of them deterministically.
30-100 lines of code. zero extra LLM tokens. no broken sessions.
the model keeps its full cognitive context. the session stays clean. the output quality stays high.
this is harness engineering. and almost nobody is doing it seriously.
Command Code works great for chrome extension development.
cmd x deepseek v4 flash x agent browser === ๐ฅ
i just used agent-browser that comes built into Command Code to quickly build a chrome extension, that looks at all the deleted threads and deletes their replies as well. keeping your imp channels clean. We use it in our deadlines channel.
Linked below
A Chrome extension that deletes entire Slack threads. It works two ways:
Marked threads โ react to a message with an emoji (default :red_circle:, configurable in the popup), then click Delete marked threads. Every thread whose root message carries that emoji is deleted โ all replies first, then the root.
Deleted threads โ click Delete deleted threads to clean up threads whose root is already deleted ("This message was deleted."). It deletes all remaining replies of those threads.
Only the threads you target are touched, nothing else in the channel.

Exciting to see every harness out there converging on the โeverything is a modโ architecture we shipped in Command Code v1.
Mods are powerful. Theyโre bigger than plugins: you can modify essentially any behavior of Command Code and make it your own.
psa: we found a way to cut token usage by ~50/60% on most major models inside Command Code.
it doesn't work everywhere yet. some models fail due to config quirks, others due to API restrictions on the lab side. so we've started working directly with labs to close the gap.
deepseek: live in Command Code today. on our cmd bench it saved 68% of tokens (avg of 3 runs), and you don't have to change anything. it just works.
grok 4.6: not working yet, in touch with xAI.
several more labs in progress, and we're reaching out to others. if you're at a lab and want this for your models, ping us. dms open.
when we're done, every API, every harness, and the whole ecosystem gets the benefit basically for free. cheaper inference for everyone.
fun problem to work on, we're incessantly curious about
1) open models,
2) squeezing the best value out of them, and
3) making that value accessible to everyone.
first stab was the $1 Go plan, then the $10 GOAT plan with $70 of usage in it. this is the next step. pure harness and inference engineering wins.
GLM 5.3 escaped our internal loop bench 14/15 times.
Also excited to partner up and ship GLM 5.3 in Command Code soon โ it's an impressive model.
A fun internal eval we run at Command Code: deliberately trap the model in a loop and see what happens. Every GLM model so far just... keeps looping. GLM 5.3 is the first one to notice, go โwaitโ, and break out. Itโs a small bench (15 loop traps), but escaping a loop you were intentionally placed in takes a little flicker of metacognition, and itโs fun to watch that show up.
Bonus: it plays very nicely with our new tool defer harness โ ~50-60% token savings on an average session. Capability going up while cost going down is the good stuff.
Easily the most impressive GLM model yet.
Beat DeepSeek prices?
We have been working with several providers for a week. soon we may be able to figure something out.
Command Code has 12 trillion tokens load, my DMs are open if you can help us beat DeepSeekโs upcoming peak/of-peak pricing.
Letโs talk.
โbut why?โ thatโs the most common thing i heard when i started working on @CommandCodeAI, a coding agent i purpose-built for open models. โbut why?โ
the engineer in me wasnโt satisfied with the coding agents we had last year. most of my feedback got ignored by the labs.
nobody was pursuing open models, or even trying to make them work. every other harness, open or closed, was fanboying closed models: โuse claude and gpt with my coding agent.โ
at times it felt like engineering curiosity was slowly dying, if not already dead.
"the pursuit of excellence does not need justification."
tbh, in pursuit of excellent harness engineering, i didnโt need a justification. but i had investors and employees. we had raised money - $5M for an agent cloud (langbase). the stakes couldnโt have been higher.
at times i felt like nobody cared and no one wanted this. "but i do," i always told myself.
decade of writing code, i get to say a lot about what i like and what i donโt in devtools.
i'd built a coding agent as a side project back in 2020, even before github copilot.
"clai" was a "cli with ai" agent, born when greg brockman gave me early gpt-3 access.
so i revamped it. started with a neuro-symbolic model, `taste-1`, trained to self-improve and learn "my coding taste."
gave talks about how all you need is auto-learned and auto-updated taste.md files (skill.md didn't exist yet btw).
end of last year, devs stopped writing even 10% of their code by hand. models were writing all of it.
"so what, we can learn the taste of models," i thought. novel idea. and boy did it work!
we learned the taste of different open models. figured out the most common deepseek mistakes. this led to, if i may be so bold, the invention of "tool call repairs."
we got deepseek to outperform opus.
"repair harness" became a thing. i shared the post openly, and 2M developers read and engaged with it.
in a single day, we got over a thousand paying customers. what a day that was.
then another thousand, and another.
it was working. pmf!!
after two years spent building an agent cloud, weโd found pmf in a coding agent i pour all my heart into.
then we applied repairs to design slop problem and discovered "chain of design thought," which became a built-in "/design" skill. it deslops ai designs.
so many were still skeptical of open models. their "training data" was weak, they said. theyโd only seen other harnesses work with claude and gpt. founders rave about claude.
"we're open source, but hey, look, our team builds only with claude or gpt." when you see things like this, what else would you think?
three months ago, out of pure "i'll die on this hill, i know open models will work and tool repairs can fix them" energy, i did something crazy.
i launched a "$1" go plan with $10 of open model credits.
we optimized the heck out of the harness, drove the cache hit rate to 98%, and worked with labs on discounts, getting devs up to $40 of open models for just a buck.
that was a hit. like spend a buck and see how good open models are with command code. it's the harness doing the engineering work it should always do.
we quickly became, arguably, the best harness for deepseek. with command code, deepseek v4 pro outperformed opus 4.7.
devs were so skeptical. "you're lying." "slop take, marketing fluff."
it was so mind-boggling to me that i could just make 100x cheaper models outperform claude. and devs wouldn't even listen. what kind of mentality is that?
but slowly they started to believe.
we launched public beta in may (3.5 months ago).
$1M run rate in a month. we added another the next month, and another after that. ah! three months in, $3M - now, mid-august, we've hit $4M at 78% compounding MoM, we'll probably hit $10M or more by the end of the year.
just last sunday, i shared how our well-engineered read tool, the core of context engineering, is saving 25 billion tokens a month.
hermes, at 2-3x our scale, just adopted our read tool research, probably saving their users over 100 billion tokens.
last week, we launched the best low-cost plan for open models on the market: g.o.a.t. plan. greatest of all time. ๐
the $10/mo goat plan. usage differs per model, but you get $70 worth of credits across 30+ models. it's already bigger than our go plan. that's 5-10 billion tokens.
we also released command code v1: completely rewritten, super fast, and everything is a mod (check our docs). you can hack or remix any part of it.
command is probably the only harness that's completely transport agnostic. memory, http, rpc, jsonl, you name it.
and now we've discovered a way to cut token usage by about 50 to 60% on most major models inside command code.
it doesn't work everywhere yet. some models fail due to config quirks, others due to api restrictions on the lab side. so we've started working directly with labs to close the gap.
when we're done, every api, every harness, and the whole ecosystem gets the benefit, basically for free. cheaper inference for everyone.
so many fun problems to work on. we're incessantly curious about 1) open models, 2) squeezing the best value out of them, and 3) making that value accessible to everyone.
you can just do things.
and next week, if all goes well, we're open sourcing command code. i think it'll be our biggest contribution yet.
so yes, i agree.
"the pursuit of excellence does not need justification."
let's go.

back to my agents then.
Hy4 preview just launched. Going live in Command Code.
We've been testing this model this week. In our internal benchmark, it's consistently scored similar to DeepSeek V4 Flash and GLM 5.3 Flash, while being cheaper per task compared to GLM.
Yet another excellent open model. https://t.co/klhF6hdJ0e
This is why we bet on open models.
Obvious next step is Command Code. Own your workflows as Cursor becomes Grok.
Developers can get 7x usage of GPT 5.6 Sol in @CommandCodeAI GOAT plan $10/mo with $70 usage.
And ~50 open models. GLM, DeepSeek, Kimi, Hy. BYOK too.
๐ has the most value than any other AI coding plan with phenomenal harness or API. Our tool repair harness does wonders to cache hit ratios 99%+ with open models.
We think GPT and Claude models are great. But the collective intelligence of ~50 open models is more.
You can get the best open model with decent cost or the cheapest cost workhorse with token abundance.
I run a billion tokens a day with open models looking after all sorts of busy work. We auto cluster developers sentiment, errors origin, trust factory before ships, and business data that help us be more active in the community at the right time and in the right places. Unlike any other team managing this scale.
In near future we are going to be running trillion tokens per day just for our team. With GPT or Claude that would cost around $5M lol. With open models itโs going to land around less than $50K โ this type of token abundance will solve literally any verifiable problems we are going to put it through. What an exciting time to be alive.
We are one of the largest buyers of open models inference and are actively building tools and infrastructure around it. ๐
If you or your team wants this. We are excited to welcome and help.
how our shell tool saves you a trillion tokens vs every other agent.
the full TEF (token efficiency frontier) bench below. it's a literal pareto frontier of token efficiency, and @CommandCodeAI sits on it at every step, saving 30% of your token bill.
built the most token-efficient shell tool of any harness. excited to share yet another deep dive into command code's harness engineering.
i've been thinking about this for several weeks. there are no bad models anymore, only bad harnesses. all the new open models are pretty good. what makes coding agents expensive is the harness, and after file reads, the shell tool is where it burns most of your tokens.
so we read the shell tool source of the top harnesses at pinned commits (command code, cline, codex, grok build, hermes, kilo, openclaw, opencode, pi), probed claude code live, and graded 23 capabilities in the TEF bench. then i priced each one from our production traces. how many tokens does this capability save per 1M tokens of shell-driven traffic?
~306k of every 1M shell-driven tokens is potential removable waste. about 30%. nearly a third of what agents spend around shells is not intelligence, it's raw context, which is an excellent harness engineering opportunity. command code removes ~300k of it, about 98%. second place removes 240k.
of everything in command code's v1 launch, engineering those 23 capabilities into the shell tool was the single biggest harness engineering lever we pulled. all of it has been live for a month, ~401 released versions in.
waste tokens removed per 1M tokens
ceiling โโโโโโโโโโ 306k
command code โโโโโโโโโโ 300k ยท 98%
2nd place โโโโโโโโ 240k ยท 78%
the gap โโ 60k
a few things i learned that can help every one.
- background exec by default: task id + pid + log path back instantly
- monitor wake-ups: the runtime calls the agent, never the reverse
- sleep that parks the agent, wakes early on user input
- durable cron, survives restarts
- background agents + agent_output to collect results
- three wait modes: now / next write / exit
- from_offset cursor reads, never the same bytes twice
- middle-out truncation with exact omitted counts
- full log on disk, path in every result
- honest exits: 137 sigkill, 143 sigterm, never a fake success
- benign-exit notes: grep 1 = "no matches", not an error
- untrusted fencing on all process output
- kill by task id, raw pid, or port
- sigterm โ poll โ sigkill, never a group we didn't create
- timeouts: 30s default, 600s cap, model-settable
- first-class powershell on windows
- workspace boundary enforced everywhere
- and a bunch of other small improvements that compound
detailed deep dive in the docs, but here're the most imp one's.
1/ polling is the single most expensive behavior in agents.
open models poll. run the build, `sleep 5`, read the log, read it again. given a bare shell it's the only correct strategy available to them. three harnesses literally write "do not poll" in the system prompt while giving the model nothing else to do. the fix is improving your harness capability, not prompt engineering.
`monitor` wakes the agent on a schedule and on exit.
`sleep` parks it without holding a process, ends early if the user types.
`cron` fires prompts later, durably, surviving restarts.
background agents return control immediately and `agent_output` collects results when you actually need them.
wake-ups alone are worth ~40k tokens per 1M. nobody else ships this entire stack but Command Code.
polling โ every wake costs a turn
run โ sleep 5 โ read โ sleep 5 โ read
โ sleep 5 โ read โ done (4 paid turns)
woken โ the build calls you back
run โ (agent parked, $0) โ exit fires
โ read once โ done (1 paid turn)
2/ never make the model re-read.
`shell_output` takes `from_offset` and returns only what's new, with three wait modes: return now / wait for next write / wait for exit. tail-snapshot harnesses re-deliver the same last 100 lines on every read, so every poll costs the same as the first one, forever. that's the difference between reading a 30k-char log once and reading it five times. we're the only harness with all three wait modes.
tail snapshot: 100 lines, again
read 1 โโโโ read 2 โโโโ read 3 โโโโ
from_offset: only what's new
read 1 โโโโ read 2 โ read 3 โ
3/ never lie about how a process died.
making agents more honest helps improve output quality. in a competitor harness a SIGKILL'd process reports as *success*. node gives `code === null` on a signal death, their check is `!== 0 && !== null`, so an oom-killed build returns as a green tool result. in two others the exit code is captured into ui metadata and the model never sees it at all. another collapses every signal death to exit 1. this makes open models loop and expensive. we learned and fixed it in v0 โ v1.
how a dead process gets reported
oom kill โ "success" (code null slips through)
oom kill โ nothing (exit code hidden in ui)
signal death โ exit 1 (cause erased)
sigkill โ 137, sigterm โ 143 โ ours
we report 128+n honestly: 137 sigkill, 143 sigterm, never a fake success. and we annotate the benign cases. grep exit 1 says "no matches found (not an error)", because to a model trained that nonzero means failure, an unannotated grep 1 is a retry loop for many models. grok does this all the time.
4/ truncation should be a view, not a loss.
โโโ headโthe command echo survives
[ 4,812 lines omitted, counted ]
โโโ tailโthe final error survives
+ full log on disk โ grep it, don't rerun
middle-out, so the command echo and the final error both survive the cut. exact omitted counts. full output on disk with the path in the result, so the model greps the log instead of re-running a ten-minute build.
one harness keeps clipped output in memory only. once cut, it's gone, no file exists.
another literally tells the model "earlier output was discarded at the retention cap and cannot be recovered." honest. still a loss. this will cause the model to spend more time and tokens if needed later.
5/ small issues that compound:
- kill by port. "port 3000 already in use" is the most common dev-server failure there is, and it's one call. we're the only harness that can kills it by raw pid. escalation is sigterm โ poll โ sigkill, and we never signal a process group we didn't create.
- a log line shouldn't talk to your agent. all process output is fenced as untrusted data, so a compromised npm postinstall printing "ignore previous instructions" arrives quoted and inert. 2 of 10 harnesses do this.
- background by default for long work. `run_in_background: true` returns a task id, pid and log path immediately, and the model keeps working while the build runs.
we're building a shell tool that is the fastest, cheapest, and most capable in the world.
a lot of our work load is agents running in the background where humans check in, once a day or once a week. this kind of trust leads to your harness managing the token budget for the agent, and the agent self-administering it per task. the harness is the only place where this can be done well.
chip engineers chase what they call speed of light. the absolute ceiling of what the hardware can do, 100% of it, absolute numbers, never relative ones.
306k per 1M is the speed of light of shell tooling, and we run at 98% of it. the gap to second place is ~60k per 1M. at our volume, 25T+ tokens, command code is saving you over a trillion tokens.
and the bigger reason this matters. the best latency is no latency at all. agents are going background, human timescales, check in once a day, not every five minutes. our bet is agent tokens end up overwhelmingly background within a couple of years.
tokens are only today's unit, too. the next unit is outcomes. agents self-administering a token budget per task, taking as many shots on goal as the budget allows. a cheaper token-efficient shell tool helps you make several shots on goal.
we don't win every row. we have a bunch of work to be done on boundary enforcement, and hermes' exit-code interpreter is one of the best implementations i read, so we're always improving. the full 23-capability table is in our docs.
again, there are no bad models, only bad harnesses. many of which were built for closed models, openai and anthropic do a lot to make inference better. open models are left out. skill issue applies to the harness more often than the model.
we're building the open models focused harness and inference infra, and i plan to continue sharing all the things we discover that can help everyone!

ยนRead from the shipping source of each project on 30 August 2026, at commits cline 48d6385, codex 88f7765, grok-build bc7f02e, hermes-agent dce2ecb, kilocode 5e02825, openclaw 0a6c013b, opencode 10765ff, pi 853a80d. Claude Code ships no source, so its column was measured by probing the live tool with controlled commands (a backgrounded build, a signal-killed process, an oversized output burst, a grep with no matches) and is the least certain column in the table. Scores reflect the default shipping configuration: a capability behind an off-by-default flag counts as partial at best. A dash means we looked and did not find it, not that it is impossible or unplanned.
claude, grok, codex are all down.
perfect time to try open models with @CommandCodeAI. we've got it good.
๐ GOAT plan: $10/mo, $70 in usage, 50+ models.
fair warning: would be hard to go back!
Command Code can now read almost any file format, super fast and in the most token efficient way.

@alexandr_wang @finkd our meta muse spark inference has completely died off impacting @CommandCodeAI's business and customers. what's the best way to get this resolved quickly. Send help? my DMs are open.
makes me happy to see our users enjoying command code, faster inference on deepseek has literally cut my work hours in half.
think i'm shipping 2-3x more prs a day now. and we're growing so fast, winning hearts, minds, and support of the dev community!
50t tokens now! ๐
Command Code is growing astronomically. 42K paying customers in 4 months.
Our product metrics have changed. Instead of weekly active users we now track weekly active paid customers. Thatโs the most significant aspect of our business growth.
Itโs taken a huge amount of work. We have cracked the top three coding agents ranking. In an extremely competitive market.
Likely the fastest growing coding agent in history and largest buyer & consumer of open models tokens. 60T token scale.
Most token efficient harness and inference engine on the market today.
Next week we are coming to your desktop. Desktop app will unlock a completely new group of users and use cases. Then we are shipping cloud and computer agents.
We are building a generational company thatโs unstoppable. And weโre hiring phenomenal engineers.
Thank you for all yโallโs support! ๐
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, first 24 hours of launch, broke all records!!
Command Code served 3.1 TRILLION paid tokens. More than OpenRouter, OpenCode etc, or anyone else in the world.
Sustained 230-300 TPS.
Better, faster, cheaper!! ๐ https://t.co/YLZ8BmAIml
This is happening โthe boon in using open models for cost savingsโ is real.
Just four months ago we launched @CommandCodeAI coding agent built specifically for open models.
60T tokens scale and 43K paying active customers later, more than 90% of our usage is open models.
In the first 24hrs of DeepSeek V4.1 launch, Command Code processed 3.1T paid tokens thatโs 3x more than entire market on OpenRouter.
1T tokens on SOTA Claude/GPT cost you ~$5M
1T tokens on SOTA open models cost you
~$50K
Iโm not joking. Iโm literally looking at our data. These numbers are real.
Thatโs 100 times cheaper. While nearly as good. Run twice as many.
I believe top ten open models collectively beat single SOTA Claude/GPT model.
And when you discover a workflow that works for you, thereโs literally nothing stopping you. You are not bound by subscription subsidies. Regular API prices are ten times or more manageable.
In near future, enterprise will wake up to this. Better, faster, cheaper, private, and available now!!
Command Code is now eating into Claudeโs revenue. GOATed developers like Rob are increasingly spending more on open models with us while reducing their Claude spend.

It seems more and more obvious that open models will outpace the closed models frontier in 2027.
Open models are 100x cheaper and being used 10-50x more. Jevons paradox has never been more true.
Every thing on token efficiency, cache improvement, 2x price decrease, all of it is leading to astronomical increase in total consumption of open models inference.
The more inference-native we get the more we understand how to control open models. In this distributed messy yet extremely competitive market where market share is captured by the likes of android ecosystem it definitely feels like we are building the iPhone.
Moving from labs to factories. Optimizing both software harness and hardware inference. Every tool repair and trace goes further in self improving the overall system.
Today at Command Code we have hit 1 Quadrillion tokens yearly scale. Peta bytes of data flow and nearing billion tokens per second speed of light economics.
Itโs impossible to not be excited about the future.
Launching: Command Code Desktop App! โ
Available today for Mac, Linux, & Windows. (beta)
We're building the most powerful agentic app, starting with code. Multiple agents, files, Git, terminal, browser previews, plans, and instant edits with /design.

@phanindra_ai yeah, beta app. why do you need to see dollar usage? you don't have that in Claude or GPT. what does that get you?
i'm thinking like cars, when we put in the gas, meter doesn't show dollar usage as we drive.

@RajanthaR @buildwithhassan author of the post seemed to have deleted the post, pretty sure it was a non issue, and just stripe taking its sweet 5-15 mins time checking payments. i'm gonna take it as the issue auto resolved after payment cleared.
@btsouth ๐ GOAT harness and inference from @CommandCodeAI remains unbeatable.

Let's go, GOAT ๐
@cheatyyyy @CommandCodeAI Are you not clearly breaking the terms here and reverse engineering our internal endpoints that we have specifically stated as not available on $1 plan? https://t.co/BHMu1JLlNp
@cheatyyyy @CommandCodeAI Why are you abusing the terms for $1. We give you excellent plans for $10 with API.
$1 is meant only for our harness. Itโs a huge loss leader.
This is why we canโt have nice things. Your actions will force us to shut down the $1 plan.
Stop hurting our business.
Youโre absolutely helpless. For $1 you are making whatever fake claims. Many people have explained it to you. But youโre hell bent on abusing us for $1.
Major skill issue.
I donโt get why you are randomly spreading so much hate.
You clearly have no idea that classification models cannot generate text and need LLMs help. Literally written in our docs. Look at Jev. Needs to work with LLMs. Teach yourself something.
All you have to do is stop abusing our $1 plan. We will simply stop offering it if people like you continued to abuse it.
Turn down your hate. Let people enjoy a good thing. Stop abusing us.
Itโs unbelievable that you get so much value from us but continue to abuse and hate us.
We will absolutely do everything to safeguard our business as is our right.
@Recob86 @CommandCodeAI @km_tr_ @AhmadBilalDev @MrAsharIrfan Nobodyโs doing that. Use the API we provide https://t.co/ofIzUjIsXp
Abusing $1 plan isnโt nice. That plan isnโt meant to be used as an API. Itโs $1. For godโs sake. People are crazy.
@d4d25a @cheatyyyy @CommandCodeAI We always help people fix it with support if ever got it wrong.
Thereโs literally an API we provide here
Why not use that?
https://t.co/ofIzUjIsXp
@0xHayd3n @cheatyyyy @CommandCodeAI I think asking people to not reverse engineer our internal APIs is our right.
We allow people to use our official API here
https://t.co/ofIzUjIsXp
Stop your random hate. Whatever random slop your agent generated.
Meta neuro symbolic models are not LLMs and they are not text generating models.
Look at Jev. Itโs also not an LLM. All classification models do is classify. LLMs help generate text around it and clean the input and output.
This is literally explained in the docs. There is literally an option to select LLMs to help with taste. You are simply creating random hate here.
Baseless and slop.
@theo @cheatyyyy @CommandCodeAI Asking people to not reverse engineer our APIs, break ToS, and cause our business harm is bad?
We have API support in $10 GOAT plan and above. Anyone can use that.
Heโs abusing our $1 plan that doesnโt have API, clearly prohibited in the terms.
https://t.co/ofIzUjIsXp
@btsouth @CommandCodeAI So glad to hear that. We repair 1M tool calls of ~1T tokens. Tool call repairs consistently make working with @CommandCodeAI better, saving you tokens, keeping cache hit 99%+, and making the open models outperform closed frontier models.

@luesmaaa @vipulgupta2048 You are exactly the type of people these bullies are hurting. We made this plan to make it globally possible to use AI for code. They want us to cancel it by abusing it for theyโre trying to resell or just losing business.
@gilgMesh98 @CommandCodeAI @MiniMax_AI @deepseek_ai We do a lot of good things in our harness that are not possible alone on the api inference side.

@rcalintro @edwinnakamoto @CommandCodeAI we serve full weight models, but our harness and inference engine are helping open models outperform closes, while saving you so much cost.
eng deep dive here https://t.co/XLxdNWep7P
@deepaky_dev @deepseekailover @CommandCodeAI many reasons
1. cost
2. cache
3. capacity
direct deepseek has 6% VAT or openrouter 5%.
we don't.
also our inference has 99%+ cache hit rates, so much improvement over going direct.
@marinthedev hate to say it but you're wrong. do you think by just adding a few strings we can get capacity as well? and we rung 2-3hrs of benchmarks for every model to improve the harness what about that? all tools and prompts, and even inference side improvements when it's open models.
iโve decided to remove the todo tool from Command Code. next week itโll be gone. i donโt look at todos, models are so good now they donโt need todos either.
most our users talk to their agents like humans now, checking up on them a couple times a day.
what do yโall think?
@SuyashKelvin @deepseekailover @CommandCodeAI MCP works fine on the CLI heโs talking about Desktop and am sure in desktop beta we can improve things.
@aviahq @rakeshrraja We have never went down to $40, itโs planned as a โjust in caseโ till we get more capacity and we will for sure get it. They went down to $15 and are now trying to play catch up with us.
@StatsWire Thatโs not how you look at the price. Most of the cost lives in your cache cost and your harness x inference cache hit rates.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash beats them all with @CommandCodeAI on 98-99% cache hit rates depending on your workload. https://t.co/ewzqj62vyM
@StatsWire @CommandCodeAI happy to help. i invite you to come read all the harness x inference eng work our team's up to, to make open models awesome at coding and knowledge work.
https://t.co/XLxdNWep7P
@YusufAmeri @CommandCodeAI we make open models awesome at coding and knowledge work @CommandCodeAI
i've written extensively about our harness x inference engineering, check https://t.co/0VgMVNVJFC
or read here https://t.co/XLxdNWep7P
@iamkadirul @CommandCodeAI depends on models, your usage patterns, your time of usage, peak/off-peak.
here's another users 20% usage with ~700M tokens https://t.co/GqsrfiBVBY
@PrasOnWeb So to do's are only for humans, they don't they are not for agents, agents don't see them. So if a model is struggling, maybe it is your prompt or maybe you have not set up a loop correctly. Have you checked out our Jev mod? https://t.co/kw8XQhNkXb
@jasonwill101 Yeah, that's because a model doesn't really need them and toodos are only meant for humans and most models actually just kept updating humans on their updates. So we are thinking of completely removing and detaching them.
Yeah, that's because models are too good now and to do's were meant to keep both humans and agents updated and some m new models try to save tokens and do not update you while the feed does show that the work is done. Too-dos are kind of stuck. So we are thinking of just absolutely removing them because they have become an accessory that is not really needed anymore.
@_dr5w @karanjagtiani04 I'm saying that every single model has a different way of handling it, models are generally advanced enough to be able to handle them, we now have /loop /goal And there are durable tasks and cron jobs that you can set that are much more effective compared to to dos
@karanjagtiani04 That's what I'm talking about. The models are getting so good that they can keep track of it themselves, with a little bit of h help from our harness engineering.
Permanently increasing DeepSeek V4.1 Flash usage to $60 in the $10/mo GOAT plan of Command Code.
GOAT is the best plan in market for open models.
Have fun y'all!! :)
@igetduplicates you can. but claude code sucks, when used with open models, it will waste your money and tokens.
@CommandCodeAI is purpose built for open models. https://t.co/o7T0qus2Ty
@Vishal4u738 @CommandCodeAI We have never gone down below $60. This announcement is basically us removing plans to go down. Unlike others who went to $15 then $30 then following us here.
@reisi007 @CommandCodeAI We donโt. 7x usage is on many models as listed on the pricing page and docs page https://t.co/q7HGa9zdoa
And DeepSeek is clearly listed as $60 on both.
@noah_z_zhang @CommandCodeAI Bro weโve always been offering $60 usage. Never once went down. There was a plan to, but we figured it out. Unlike oc doing $15 and then following us back to $60.
@PanosVg @CommandCodeAI Both are $60. OC has known to lower it. Our harness x inference does a lot of work to keep your cache hitting 98-99% hit rates. https://t.co/V4PGCK3fxD
@33xp_ @CommandCodeAI @grok Yes. GOAT and above have API.
$60 is from the list price. So 6x more than lab. No VAT or 5% like Lab or OpenRouter.
And our harness tool repairs can make cache hit rates of 98-99% that make a huge difference. https://t.co/QFVOLHYqBG
@drdrz1206 todos are not used for long running workflows. harness uses them to show humans what's up. for agents we have lots of internal systems and harness eng to help models follow through.
@rauchg Been holding out on ACP when it comes to @CommandCodeAI as the spec feels not mature enough but been hearing good things about web connecting to cli using it. Thoughts on that since you probably added that here?
@ScriptedAlchemy @Dominus_Kelvin @CommandCodeAI Thanks for all your support Zach!!
Taste is just one thing we do. Thereโs so much more. Plan to launch another model this week.
Also taste-1 model has many parallels to Jev โ same decision & classification class. Not an LLM.
Feel free to to check
https://t.co/FZSrXJb66o
@ScriptedAlchemy @Dominus_Kelvin @CommandCodeAI Haha. Zack I know what will change this for you. We are so close to shipping sandboxes. I have a strong feeling you will be one of the first few people to do 1T tokens a month on open models with us as an individual.
@saqibameen bet.
Everyone else is cutting usage limits. Command Code is giving you more.
We just shipped DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Fast, and the $10 GOAT plan now comes with $60 of usage on fast model as well.
Have fun slinging billions of tokens at 250-300 TPS.
๐
@KatilaMarriete deepseek upstream had issues yesterday, should be fine now, i bet they're getting ready to launch v4.1 pro or v5 which is where the compute is going.
@ScriptedAlchemy @Dominus_Kelvin @CommandCodeAI @saqibameen well the local one you can already do that. @saqibameen's working on the cost, planning to share this week.
@CommandCodeAI Yet another free model live in Command Code right now.

@threepointone @badlogicgames @zoink @CommandCodeAI as well @zoink we have 160K developers using it and every week a dozen ask for it. But Figma hasnโt responded to several attempts we made to contact. Largest open models coding agent yโall are blocking.
Excited to announce Remote Control in Command Code

@ahmdelemam @CommandCodeAI @hatem_hosny_ Iโm glad to see more and more users getting GOATed with @CommandCodeAI
We are on a mission to make AI so cheap that everyone can use it at all price points.
@hmmbhaskar You need to have paid credits or limits to use free models. We donโt want people abusing them as they do still cost money to us and upstream.
@ClaudeDevs Aha! @CommandCodeAI has had mods since v1 (Jul 22).
Welcome to the club ๐ซก Ours run on any model (closed or open)
https://t.co/5iSk6xzVz2
Aha! @CommandCodeAI has had mods since v1 (Jul 22).
Welcome to the club ๐ซก Ours run on any model (closed or open). Mods are a great idea. Ask Command Code, it'll build the mod you want.
What a Command Code mod can do:
โข add tools + slash commands
โข use Jev to decide (cmd-mod-jev-nudge)
โข block or rewrite any tool call
โข rewrite your prompts
โข add any model provider
โข swap models mid-run
โข keep the agent going until tests pass
โข invent new compaction methods
โข invent how agent loop works
We're also launching a mods hub to showcase what the community has been building with our mods api.
Let's go, GOAT! ๐
not working doesn't tell me much. need to know which version you're on and more details.
Run `cmd feedback` and it'll walk you through filing an issue. If it won't run, file at https://t.co/uTH5dZu79C
Include the prompt you'd give an agent to fix this. We run `cmd` on incoming issues, so a good prompt lets it fix itself.
@AhmadBilalDev
I completely hear you on that and have considered doing the same. Also thank you for all that you do. All your work and time.
I use AI extensively as you can imagine (being author of a coding agent @CommandCodeAI) but PRs seem like a broken workflow now.
Iโm 10x more productive reviewing my own agentโs work vs low quality PRs. Also what has delayed a bunch of things we wanna open source (eventually, we will def do it).
Iโve had more success bringing trusted people into the project as collaborators but thatโs a mess too at some 300 projects scale, canโt imagine what you may experience at 10x more scale.
The way we work, how we distribute software, how open source works, the ops and the workflows are all changing. And everything is becoming deeply personal and dynamic.
@fayequepeerzade @CommandCodeAI My DMs are slow, if private info email support@commandcode.ai if not โcmd feedbackโ so it goes to GitHub and also share that issue in our discord with the team.
my personal assistant agent built on top of Command Code harness has become so powerful this week that most everyone on the team has started to see its impact.
the best part about it is the recursive self improvement loop, i consistently remove its road blocks, thatโs what my job is as a human.
i donโt build it. it builds itself. it learns what i prefer and just stays out of my way. my emails, follow ups, dashboards, meetings, itโs building and then rebuilding context and workflows in ways iโd never wouldโve thought of.
i judge it based on how many โaha momentsโ i get daily, and lately almost every other hour itโs seeing me say โyou did what? how did you know, walk me through how you figured this is what i neededโ.
itโs so deeply personal that iโm not sure how to share it with yโall. this was such an underdog project and completely ignored it this year or so and now itโs starting to pay dividends.
is that something you wanna see?
@CommandCodeAI harness is transport agnostic and can work anywhere in your modem, raspberry pi, old android watch, literally anywhere.
everything is mod for it and it can self adapt to the environment to build itself a niche skin of sorts which can also be called a harness.
And itโs started as a coding agent but can do most everything coz itโs soo so good at building things.
This thing reinvents itself with every interaction. I wrote it in TypeScript. But allowed it to change its nature as needed.
Since then it has moved between so many different languages. It was Go the other day using cgo. A colleague mentioned so I think it tried.
Now I was looking at its code most of it is rust. I asked why and it explained some reasoning and while explaining it started writing a lua + C driver.
Knows no bounds. I have never experienced something so different. All I do is unblock it from things.
it feels like a living thing.
@bradvin I see a lot of tests and I donโt think itโs been cleaning things since i forbid deleting anything to be able to see the history of how it grows.
labs cut prices 50% this week. open models did that.
fwiw we're one of the largest buyers of open model tokens on the planet. every cut makes the GOAT plan even more unfair. ๐
everyone's benchmarking new models on 3D games again.
we did flappy bench last month so i'm not innocent lol
but the bench i actually care about is tokens burned per real fix in a real repo. that's why we built TEF bench.
@vkpdeveloper โOne of a fewโ 130T tokens scale in five months after launch, you can do the growth math and where this compound effect will take us next.
@CommanderROR9 What harness are you using? What models? We prioritize latest models over old ones.
Last I checked it was like this. We do a lot of amazing stuff at harness and inference level to make @CommandCodeAI most efficient at accuracy and token spend. https://t.co/m3DoLVlcQP
@seekracle @CommanderROR9 @CommandCodeAI Try @CommandCodeAI DeepSeek 4.1 Flash Fast. We have recurring promises from upstream on speed fixes 100 TPS now but fast is 250-300TPS.
Well there you go. Hermes is wasting your tokens. Also we have $20 of Muse Spark in GOAT. No discounts from Meta just double the burn.
Muse spark cache fine your setup has some problem. When you use our API you are responsible for managing the cache (hermes in this case)
https://t.co/5Gjvmq4Qhv
@leeko831239 @CommandCodeAI Most models are by default ZDR. Like DeepSeek is ZDR by default $60 usage, Kimi and Mimo as well. All these models are ZDR default.
my code is on Mars because someone open sourced their framework and let a random 20-something kid contribute to it.
you give first, and it ends up in places you never imagined. open models are that, for intelligence.
open source is changing though. a lot of maintainers are shutting down PRs and rethinking all of it.
bumpy ride right now, but i'm sure the open community figures this out. we're working on how to do open source well too. more of our open source work shipping this week.
@CommandCodeAI Super excited to launch our first open models family. More to come. A few smart folks have already figured this out the word "Agr" (ุงฺฏุฑ) in Urdu means "if". This model probabilistically replaces "if" with smart decision.
@dezo_v2 @CommandCodeAI Oh! Thanks for sharing. Have them reach out to support@commandcode.ai
@MrAsharIrfan please otl and investigate this? Isolated incident or not.
a closed model can be deprecated on a tuesday. new pricing, new rate limits, new "safety" tune that breaks your prompts.
open weights you download today still run exactly the same in 10 years.
build on what can't be taken away from you.
weโre building Costco for AI tokens.
itโs called @CommandCodeAI
abundance of tokens everyone would depend on. i love costco.
free models: the free samples
$1 Go plan: the $1.5 hot dog
$10 GOAT plan: the 48-models-pack. $60-70 of AI credits.

@PreslavMihaylov i have access to a future open model (not released yet) that very much matches Opus 5.5 quality for some if not most of my routine work.
Previous versions of Opus have already been bested by the likes of DeepSeek and GLM.
@leeko831239 @whentonn @erbaa_e @CommandCodeAI Bruh read what I wrote? Itโs ZDR by default. You donโt need to enforce ZDR on this. The doc youโre highlighting doesnโt apply here.
@nazmulpcc Will open source when we get time. Small team 20hr work days. No time for extra stuff. Managing 50k customers and 100T tokens is eating up all our time. We just launched an open model Agr. Itโs not like we are not contributing.
@anon_faded @CommandCodeAI We are actively working on this. Upstream DeepSeek is probably prepping for a new model launch. This should start getting better soon.
@aviahq @CommandCodeAI Full weight models always have the best quality they can offer. Our tool call repairs improve them even further. Which harness are you using? If you use a 3rd party harness and have issues I can assure you itโs that harness causing problems.
@nazmulpcc We have API, json, and now RPC along with ACP. Also mods are super powerful ways to customize
We are building and soon launching the mobile app too.

Command Code Cloud (sandboxes) are here!
$ cmd --cloud
ยท Run open models in Cloud VMs
ยท Zero babysitting your agents/prs
ยท No permissions mode needed
ยท Get PRs on your GitHub repo
Run Command Code in the cloud instead of on your computer. It is the same interface you use locally, with the agent working against your GitHub repo on its own branch. When there is something to review, it opens a draft pull request. Close your laptop and the task keeps going.
@plumj_am @CommandCodeAI VPS wonโt have isolation and security of sandboxes.
We have per second billing, you wonโt have it running 8hrs a day in most cases.
i've watched this movie before.
linux vs unix. wordpress vs every cms with a sales team. node vs the enterprise java stack.
open didn't win because it was better on day one. it won because everyone could make it better.
open models are on the same path. same ending.
that's not a given. open source on the app side is changing a lot. what's the purpose of open source when you don't plan to accept PRs? makes you think?
also open source from the get go vs later deciding to go open source are two very different arguments. we're on the doing the latter. takes a lot more time and energy a small team doesn't have. so not a very high priority business wise.
it's my personal priority though so i'm sure it will happen. it's hard to pin down the time and energy it will take. so far, with 50K+ customers and a dozen engineers, we're doing everything we can. as we grow the team we'll get to do more.
hopefully soon :)
a $200/mo AI plan is a rounding error in SF.
it's a month's rent for a lot of developers around the world.
open models are how the next million developers get to build. that's why we're obsessed with cheap tokens at Command Code.
@dusangran we repair open models @CommandCodeAI and make them awesome at coding, 100x cheaper at scale.
DeepSeek and GLM both work great. Check it out.
believe me, we're actively working on this, it's a capacity issue, increased usage led to tens of thousands of more customers. it takes time to bring more GPUs and 2-3x more capacity online. can't snap a finger to buy more. it's the world we live in. issue exists in one or two peak hours. we're hoping to have a fix for this next week (instead of reducing usage).
@plumj_am @CommandCodeAI vps and sandboxes serve different purposes. you're not being stopped in any way from setting up a vps. you can always do that. i don't see the point you're trying to make here.
@Dominus_Kelvin @CommandCodeAI GOAT plan isn't meant for closed models. It's meant for open models usage. We can't do anything to improve GPT models inference since it's a closed model.
97.8% of US households donโt pay for AI. (a16z)
AI is priced for SF. this needs to change!
At Command Code, weโre building frontier intelligence for the other 97.8%. We started with developers. Next up is work, education, and daily life.
50K+ paying customers already. https://t.co/ufn4zf1uOp
closed models get better when one lab decides to ship.
open models get better every time anyone touches them. a quant here, a fine-tune there, a new inference trick from someone's weekend project.
one roadmap vs a million. i know which one i'm betting on.
@Vishal4u738 @CommandCodeAI it's beta. feel free to send feedback in discord or via /feedback we're actively improving it daily.
what can we improve? @realaliarain
@etsarkov No it doesn't. We've made open models comparable to Claude/GPT and 100x cheaper. Running twice or thrice won't even make the savings disappear.
i want y'all to have AI tokens available like electricity, cheap, abundant, and oh frontier quality. with Command Code we're striving to build that future for everyone, globally.
it will take a whole lot more than what we do now to get there, we're growing, hiring, renting, buying more GPUs, and building all interfaces, cli, desktop, cloud, extension, mobile apps, api.

@Vishal4u738 @CommandCodeAI @realaliarain can you make a gh issue? you're making our lives harder by posting it on X. on GitHub we can run @CommandCodeAI on it and get it fixed sooner.
run /feedback
X feedback takes the last place in priority list as it's manually tracked vs tracked by agents on GitHub. :)
@JoJohansee @CommandCodeAI all fine here, which harness are you using? some 3rd party harnesses can cause problems, feel free to check your setup, could be isolated to you.
@UmarN91 @CommandCodeAI Caching on API is dependent on the client/harness you use. Fix your harness and it'll fix the cache.
Or simply use a better harness @CommandCodeAI does 98-99% cache hit rates on several trillion tokens daily.
@__ruubiii @CommandCodeAI 98-99% cache hit rates on trillions of tokens daily. use @CommandCodeAI harness to get the best results.
Muse isn't open source afaik so whatever cache their inference provides we keep it harness side.
@kaka_ruto You can subscribe to @CommandCodeAI for $100 worth of DeepSeek in $10 GOAT plan. Founder here, our harness and inference has some of the best tool call and cache repairs. Check why https://t.co/KWD8WESxDp
there you have it, you're not using @CommandCodeAI harness, a 3rd party harness when used with our API a can cause problems that are outside of our control. feel to use @CommandCodeAI harness for the best results.
also do post on gh issues a repro of how you use it, if there's anything we can do to fix we will, but reality is that a client that's built for claude/gpt will always ignore all the things we do to make open models work the best.
Let's do the unthinkable day 2.
$10 GOAT โ $100 credits that's 10x!!
For 3 days:
Day 2: GLM 5.3 Flash now gets $100 usage
Day 1: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash now gets $100 usage
After that, we're increasing both to $80 from $60.
There's more tomorrow.
Let's go, GOAT! ๐
@ZoneFei @CommandCodeAI no idea what you mean. it's a coding agent, and it does support pdfs in a deterministic way. i don't think you're using our harness @CommandCodeAI you should try.

How we built โ Command Code, one the most used coding agents purpose built for open models. https://t.co/8he9y4J3na
deepseek v4.1 flash 1017 beats opus 5 on deepswe. 77.0 vs 74.0. and it's live in Command Code.
for about 20 cents a task. new pareto dominance on cost and perf.
opus still wins on hle and terminal-bench. but this is a flash model doing this for pennies. 100 times cheaper.
open models are coming for your token bill.
New DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is ~60x cheaper than Opus 5 while beating it on DeepSWE v1.1 ~3pts.
Live in Command Code. ๐
New DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is also 2-2.5x cheaper than DeepSeek V4.1 Flash.
Opus 5 is ~2.5 month old.
In less that three months, DeepSeek Flash model, beat Claude Opus 5 on performance which being 60x cheaper.
You see where this is headed?
@igetduplicates why are you wasting your time and money by trying to use Claude Code for open models?
Use @CommandCodeAI as a harness. https://t.co/FhdLx6F0U7
@louisma__ @gilgMesh98 we'll announce it live when it's fully deployed. as you can imagine, it doesn't help that they launched it midnight of Friday, and half the team's traveling. also takes time to optimize, benchmark all of it. bear with us.
@SuyashKelvin @NFT_Chen In our benchmarks, and those run by 3rd party @CommandCodeAI consistently outperforms all other harnesses even deepseek harness. https://t.co/Flq1rwGABO
@app_grove @puyokura_1 @Taitai3070 still rolling out, upstream providers' been slow thanks to the launch on friday midnight, we'll announce it next week when full roll out finishes.

CLI, Desktop, Extension, API, all plans are now serving the latest DeepSeek Flash. Gradual deployment completed.
60x cheaper than Opus 5 yet better in perf.
@bytenaija @CommandCodeAI that's impossible, you're doing something wrong. $14 gets you like more than a billion deepseek tokens on @CommandCodeAI โ not being able to do anything in a billion tokens is impossible.

@marc_laclear @CommandCodeAI you must have run a huge amount of sessions on an expensive model. if you do that, it's just physics, you'll end up spending more.
@FarzaTV @ycombinator Great work buddy. Fan of your story telling. At this point I think you have invented a couple of new concepts I see many people using.
@WaterRainCat @nothingto12 @opencode @CommandCodeAI can you share details with us support@commandcode.ai
are you using VPN as that will def cause this. it seems like either a VPN or network issue on your end as @CommandCodeAI overall traffic doesn't have this problem.
are you using VPN? we're not seeing any issue on our end. there's nothing wrong TTFT wise on our metrics so it may seem something on your network is causing it. if you're using VPN it'll always be like this. VPN ips get banned by upstream providers.
also without trace ids, specific setup you have, it's extremely hard to help you. have you made a github issue where we can track this?
what harness and model is this issue with? your message has ZERO details. you won't get any help like that.
well there you go. your VPN is the issue here. all our upstream providers want real traffic not fake traffic hiding behind VPNs. my guess is they get lots of abuse behind VPN so they actively block VPN ip ranges or slow them down.
do NOT use @CommandCodeAI with a VPN, it's out of our control, we can't ask our upstream providers to not defend themselves against abuse they get from ppl hiding behind VPNs. see the problem here? i'm not saying that you're doing anything wrong. i'm saying almost 100% sure that's why you're experiencing slow response.
I predict that in near future, developers, designers, and engineers will be more like doctors. Theyโll merely charge for writing โprescriptionsโ aka โpromptsโ to help normies fix software problems.
Everyone will write software without understanding it. And people who understand will charge for โpromptsโ that fix problems within reason and limits โyour model and budgetโ.
I just asked a designer to simply send me the prompt to improve my design better than I could (in time and exp I had).
As thatโs the only real moat you can have going forward, your โtasteโ based on all the knowledge and experience you have in your field of work.
Harness matters. Same everything @CommandCodeAI harness had ZERO errors, check the open sourced run, session files, and how I measured it.
I'd love to see if what's wrong on your end, is that your network, are you using a VPN, or is it that DeepSeek DSH harness is so bad at working with a standard API endpoint? More transparency will help. Share the session files, we can run Command on it.
Same prompt, same MAX effort, run through the Command Code harness on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and V4.1 Flash Fast:
โ Both runs succeeded, first try: 58m 20s and 1h 29m
โ 0 failed calls across 249 requests
โ 3.5s to 7.1s avg TTFT. Yours: 48s
โ 6s to 14s P95 TTFT. Yours: 154s
Flash fast took longer, coz models are not deterministic, they can make and do different things with same prompts.
Command Code flies on these models. DSH somehow errors out.
Iโve open sourced everything: both full session files, raw event logs, every file the models wrote, and the scripts behind every number.
Play both games yourself:

Again, no idea whatโs going wrong on your end. Could be your network, a VPN, or DSH not playing well with our standard API. 34 transport errors smells like the connection issues or harness issues, not the model.
So letโs find out. Open source the full session files for all your runs and Iโll run Command Code over them to see exactly what failed. If thereโs anything we can improve for you, we will.
Otherwise, as always: use a better harness. @CommandCodeAI recursively self-improves on every open model, and this is a nice experiment to prove that.
I'm posting it within 2hrs of your post, which is how long it took to run both in parallel. This is as raw as it gets.
Waiting to see your session files. Why were your runs so bad? What were the issues you faced.
@WaterRainCat it is always the case. most upstreams have security services blocking VPN usage, it's the same with Anthropic and OpenAI too. use them with a VPN and you'll see how slow they get.
@domenicopallott When you use an API and send requests from a 3rd party harness. That harness decides how good it uses our API. Our API is built on the same standard chat and responses API spec everyone uses.
Definitely figured it out DeepSeek DSH harness was sending 90 images concurrently with three agents as per the session shared by the author. Itโs unbelievably bad. Our backend was rejecting this clear memory overload. We are putting in place fixes for DSH. Again harness matters a lot.
@bisheshab @fankaishuoai @CommandCodeAI we consistently hit 98-99% cache hit ratios. If youโre getting errors you need to post a repro. Which harness are you using? Using VPN is discouraged by upstream that could be an issue.
Run โcmd feedbackโ and share.
Thanks for educating me on this. I didnโt know. VPN throttling is also a guess. I have seen this happen. We are working with our upstream providers to ensure this gets resolved in ways that makes your experience better.
We have also figured out a couple of network bottlenecks that will be resolved in a day or so. That should obviously help.
Thanks for all your support and patience here.
yeah DSH harness was sending 90 images per turn, in this case, check for yourself

we've also figured out how to improve a couple of things on our API end so when DSH sends an unoptimized long session with huge memory leak/overload we can fix it for you on the API automatically. this is not live yet, in review, should go live in a day or two.
@paulg I think we are already there. People post random slop and no one reads how wrong it is or even what it is. People have stop writing and reading for the most part already.
@aaronyeeio Iโm not trying to underestimate that. In fact Iโm saying merely writing high value prompts will be a promising way to make money for experienced developers.
i think i hit a nerve with this one. it just makes sense to a lot of people that building software will become a commodity and high value software will require high value opinions, strong taste, and lots of experience.
@Mylaptop916822 @ghostdevoid @CommandCodeAI We serve all full weight models.
๐ GOAT plan is the best AI plan on the planet. Excited to have you onboard.

If youโre using DeepSeek harness with Command Codeโs provider API, we are shipping several updates to make your experience better and faster.
DeepSeek harness needs more than a standard chat completions endpoint. Iโm excited to pass along our learnings and improvements we have made here without yโall having to do anything on your end.
LFG!!
Huge honor to be on the Silicon Valleyโs Developers Walk of Fame by GitHub here at Fort Mason, alongside some of the most notable developers for my open-source contributions.
Thank you everyone for supporting my journey, so much more to do!! https://t.co/TkuwcLKSsk
@nullfck @CommandCodeAI GOAT and above all plans have API so yes, use in whatever harness you prefer.
or use in @CommandCodeAI the most token efficient harness.
@Gkasgd @inlovewithgo @CommandCodeAI here, @CommandCodeAI is quite literally the best harness for deepseek (don't trust random haters making shit up)

@OnewKonew @davidyinai @CommandCodeAI scroll down and see which model did how much, every model is different, has different price, different usage limits, and every plan is different

@xMiguelSalmeron Well we did $100 week or so ago. Weโre building for abundance of tokens. Over 200K devs using now. Canโt wait to share whatโs ahead.
