Qwen 3.8 Max is now live in Command Code Go. … and it's going open weight!! most importantly, next week open-weights of Qwen3.8-Max and Qwen3.8-27B will be released! 🔹 2.4T params MoE flagship 🔹 Input: $2 Output: $6 🔹 Cache: $0.25 / M tokens 3.8 is 20% cheaper than 3.7

Command Code is the most used coding agent on open router overtaking Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, Kilo, Cline, etc in just two months. 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 & tool call repairs

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. x.com/MrAhmadAwai...

Got interviewed by Business Insider on how enterprise are switching to open models. With Command Code gaining over 10K paying customers in 30 days. Demand for cheaper yet intelligent open models is growing fast, we've made open models outperform closed, most of my research on this is public.

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.

NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra now available in Command Code! Strongest US open model yet! :four_leaf_clover: • 1M context • 5x faster inference • 550B MoE frontier-intelligence open model We've brought you the best pricing on the market for nemotron with ~500 TPS speed.

Command Code just crossed 10K paying customers! 🎉 It took 30 days to go from 0 to 10k customers. Fastest growing coding agent in history. Soon we'll be adding the same daily. Cooking something special here. Best harness for open models.

Bild

BIG day for us!! Command Code has crossed $1M in annual run rate, 1 trillion tokens of usage, with over 9K customers, just 24 days after beta launch. We believe this makes it the fastest-growing coding agent harness for open models. 3rd largest by usage.

Command Code x Claude Opus 4.8 Opus 4.8 excels at long-horizon agentic coding, large multi-file refactors, ambiguous specs that need pushback, complex multi-step agent runs, and high-autonomy work where reasoning quality matters most. - Same price as 4.7 - 1M context

MiMo-V2.5-Pro & MiMo-V2.5 are now ~99% off on Command Code. This is like 100x more usage! Input, output, and cache pricing are all lower. Works on every plan + extra top-ups. Pick the /model and go! Our $1 Go plan with $10 in it is perfect for this. Let's go!

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.

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.

Manus timeline: - Launched March 2025 - $100M revenue in ~6 months - Acquired by Meta for $2B in December 2025 - Execs join Meta as employees - Money gets transferred - April 2026: China blocks the deal LOL what

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.

Introducing Taste Aware Agentic Review /𝚛𝚎𝚟𝚒𝚎𝚠 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

Introducing clidoro 🍅 Every pomodoro timer broke my terminal workflow until I built this. Built for humans (TUI) and AI agents (skills). Pomodoro timer for your terminal. $ 𝚗𝚙𝚡 𝚌𝚕𝚒𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚘

📊 chartli v1.0.0 is here! CLI that turns plain numbers into terminal charts. ascii, spark, bars, columns, heatmap, unicode, braille, svg. $ npx chartli I wanted terminal charts with zero setup. No browser, no Python env, no matplotlib. Pipe numbers in, get a chart out.

Bild

Introducing mmmodels 𝌭 𝚖𝚖𝚖𝚘𝚍𝚎𝚕𝚜 is a CLI for browsing, filtering, and exploring AI models from hundreds of providers. Built for both humans and agents. $ 𝚗𝚙𝚡 𝚖𝚖𝚖𝚘𝚍𝚎𝚕𝚜 I wanted one terminal-native place to answer questions like: - what models exist (fuzzy search)

introducing plist-next 📋 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. plist-next: • TypeScript first — strict mode, full type safety

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.

introducing 𝚝𝚎𝚡𝚝𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛-𝚝𝚘-𝚛𝚊𝚢𝚌𝚊𝚜𝚝 ⌨️ convert textexpander snippets to raycast snippets. i used textexpander for a decade but started switching to raycast. only problem was migrating 1500+ snippets.

Introducing chartli 📊 A CLI for rendering charts in your terminal from numeric text data. $ 𝚗𝚙𝚡 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚕𝚒 I wanted terminal charts with zero setup. No browser, no Python env, no matplotlib. Pipe numbers in, get a chart out. Again built it my coding taste using Command Code.

Introducing `grepts` 🔍 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. 17μs. Built with Command Code. $ npm i grepts
