21 OctClaude Duet, a proactive AI agent from Anthropic, is coming soon. OpenAI has Dots, xAI has Grok Bot, and there’s also Hermes Agent. Now Anthropic is joining the race. Looks like we’re moving from the era of coding harnesses to the era of proactive agents that can orchestrate…ClaudeAnthropicClaude DuetAgent harnesses
20 SepFinished my ClaudeCut experiment. I wanted to see how much of a $20 Claude subscription actually goes into the work, and how much gets eaten by Claude Code itself. I cut it down to one terminal tool, a 36-token system prompt, and a capped context window. Startup dropped from…ClaudeAnthropicClaude CodeContext managementAgent harnesses
19 SepI castrated Claude Code. Ripped almost everything out and left only the bare minimum: read, inspect, write. Startup context is now under 2k tokens. I also capped the context window at 200k tokens so it compacts earlier instead of chewing through my limits with bloated context.…ClaudeAnthropicClaude CodeContext managementAgent harnesses
18 Sep🚨 MiniMax open sourced MiniMax Code CLI It runs on a heavily modified Pi stack with MiniMax’s own agent runtime and tooling. In FrontierHarness Eval, MiniMax Code hit 76.7% pass rate, 4m 33s median runtime and $1.825 per successful task.MiniMaxMiniMax CodeAgent harnesses
16 Sep🚨 Union Alpha just dropped in stealth on OpenCode It scores around 51% on Terminal Bench v4 at roughly $1.5 per task, putting it close to GPT 6 Astra high for much less. My guess is this is a new Chinese model, possibly Kimi. Kimi has also brought its paid plans back to the…OpenCodeAgent harnesses
7 SepOpenClaw can use Claude subscriptions again It works through Claude Code CLI, while most OpenClaw features remain available through MCP: browser, memory, sessions, subagents, cron jobs, etc. It’s still not 1:1 with native OpenClaw: Claude Code manages context and compaction…ClaudeAnthropicClaude CodeOpenClawAgent harnessesMCP
16 Aug⚡️ DeepSeek Harness beat OpenClaw’s record and became the fastest growing repo on GitHub It took just 42 hours to hit 100K stars. OpenClaw hit 100K in 48 hours, but the repo was already two months old.DeepSeekDeepSeek HarnessAgent harnesses

29 JulJetBrains MythBusters tested the Ponytail skill for Claude Code Before that, they analyzed Caveman. Its promised 65% token savings turned into 8.5%, with no cost reduction. Then came RTK, claiming up to 90% savings. In practice, some tasks became more expensive. The new review…ClaudeAnthropicJetBrainsClaude CodeAgent harnesses
15 JulElon Musk open-sourced Grok Build The terminal agent stack is now open source: file reading, context gathering, command execution, plugins, and subagents. The Grok 4.5 weights are not included, the model itself is still closed. Now anyone can see how Grok works with code, fork…xAIGrok BuildAgent harnesses
