I’m running an Opus-level coding agent locally at nearly 2x Claude Opus speed, for free.
Nov 2025 was a tipping point for AI coding with commercial frontier models. Aug 2026 is the beginning of the same thing for local AI. Pretty darned exciting.

Anthropic's agentic coding tool for developers. Claude Code understands your codebase, edits files, runs commands, and helps you ship faster.

Model the agentic harness like a game engine and most of its hard problems — durable state, tools, configuration, the TUI, inference — collapse into ones other people already solved.
Anthropic's stage-by-stage playbook for the AI-native SDLC: how teams plan, design, build, test, deploy, and maintain software with Claude.
An agent harness is a piece of software that provides an environment for an AI model to operate within.
How we turned years of studio material into a searchable knowledge center & built our first product on top of it.
Models are the key enabling technology of the AI revolution, but the agents they power are deeply misunderstood. Every chat bot and coding agent lets you simply swap out one model for another.
Claude Code will soon run auto mode by default for Pro, Max, and Team plans, enabling longer-running autonomous work, and catching more dangerous commands.
A case for compacting Claude Code sessions manually and often, using hooks that fire at logical milestones instead of arbitrary token thresholds.
We recently finished moving the camelAI agent off of virtual machines.
Today I'll show you how to build your own agent platform without writing a single line of code. I know this sounds crazy, so I'll share videos along the way and encourage you to build along.
The prompting method behind Claude of Duty. Give the agent a bar it can't talk its way around, let it split the work, and never let the builder grade itself.
Most of what an AI coding agent does for me isn't thinking. It's I/O.
