I personally didn't find it to be competitve with Claude Code as a harness. Can I ask how you modified it to perform better?
-Claude-style subagents -an MCP layer for higher-level tools -Cursor-style control plane modes like Ask, Plan, Debug, and Build.
The MCP layer lets the harness use things like GitHub file/code read, PR creation, web search/fetch, structured user questions, plan-mode switching, user skills, and subagents.
So the improvement is mostly from better ui/ux orchestration and tool access. There's some things from hermes that are interesting as well.
Most of my focus has been on applying this stack to sandboxed cloud agents so you can properly code and work from mobile devices.
I can't definitively say that the stack is better or worse than Claude code, more just tuned for my use case I guess.
Looked into this one. Thought it was suspicious that it only had 7 open issues on github. Turns out they have a bot that auto-closes every single issue just because.
I honestly have no words.
I could see a serious cost reduction story by using opus for design and deepseek for implementation.
Personally I would avoid anthropic entirely. But I get why people don't.
Probably wasn't clear enough if you don't know what that is already, apologies
It's an Asus Ascent GX10, which is a little mini PC with 128GB of LPDDR5X as shared memory for an Nvidia GB10 "Blackwell" (kind of, it's a long story) GPU and a MediaTek ARM CPU
Claude code, on the other hand, is the most subsidized one, both for consumers (through max subscription) and for enterprises (token discounts). It is also heavily optimized for cost, specially token caching and reduced thinking, at the expense of quality.
Maybe I need to switch to some news publication that actually does real research and writing still. Because public forums like this have been completely destroyed by LLMs.
If we touch grass in person and swap certificate requests, we can actually rebuild a trust network.
This is a pretty old problem with regards to clubs / secret societies and whatnot. And with certificates / PKI, our modern security tools have solved all the technical problems.
So I think I'll stay with CC for now.
If you are interested, I've built an agentic terminal that helps manage these types of things better: https://deepbluedynamics.com/hyperia

Also opencode tracks you by default. Its not safe. Every first prompt you send is routed through their servers, logged and they can use your data however they want
that surprised me too. The intelligence is at the client, and by making that open, anthropic has commoditized the coding agent.
The American firms are not demonstrating escape velocity and as long as china offers something somewhat comparable and offers it at a very low price to compensate for any difference in quality, they will not be generating enough in cash flows to finance reinvestment. I highly doubt they’ll be able to continue raising external financing for numerous periods from here on out - they gotta start showing strong financials and that they are running away from the open source models.
Already DeepSeek v4 is being hosted on Huawei Ascend 950. What do you think those cost relative to NVIDIA gear?
Not only that but other countries are very unlikely to follow suit, so it is just a straight-up productivity tax on the US.
