GLM-5.3 got 50% better at coding without…

Z.ai shipped GLM-5.3 on the same weights as GLM-5.2 and jumped from 4.6 to 28.3 on Terminal-Bench 3.0. The lesson for builders: post-training and harness fit beat another pre-training run.

T3 Code now runs Grok Build on…

Theo Browne's T3 Code GUI added Grok via ACP and X or SuperGrok OAuth. No API key, same subscription you already pay for, alongside Claude Code and Codex in one dashboard.

GLM-5.2 ships 1M usable context for long…

Z.ai's GLM-5.2 open-weight flagship targets million-token coding trajectories with MIT weights, High and Max reasoning modes, and Terminal-Bench scores that jump from 62.0 to 81.0 versus GLM-5.1.

Developers are shipping browser Minecraft clones with Claude Fable 5 in 20 to 40 minutes for roughly $12 to $30. The interesting part is not the game. It is the systems design the model held in one context.

Cohere North Mini Code is a 30B MoE you can self-host for agentic coding

Cohere North Mini Code is a 30B…

Cohere's first open-weight coding model activates 3B of 30B parameters per token, ships under Apache 2.0, and targets terminal agents. Here is when I would run it locally instead of a frontier API.

Cognition raised $1B because Devin now writes…

Cognition closed a $1B Series D at a $26B valuation with $492M run-rate revenue. The clearest proof point is internal: 89% of Cognition's committed code now comes from Devin. Here's what that means if you ship software for a living.

Qwen3 8B can run a full coding agent on hardware you already own

Qwen3 8B can run a full coding…

Qwen3 8B at Q4_K_M fits in about 5 GB of VRAM and hits roughly 20–50 tok/s on consumer GPUs, including older cards. Here is how to think about local agentic coding without the Mac Mini hype.
