Issue #1
This week's picks, each with a short reason and a source.
Open-weight coding model with 39.8B parameters and about 2.5B active per token
An open-weight coding model from Recursive, with 39.8B total parameters and about 2.5B active per token, built for coding agents that investigate codebases, fix bugs and write tests. It's Apache-2.0 and ships with an SGLang serving kit.
See the listing →Diffusion LLM that Inception says runs at more than 1,000 tokens per second
A diffusion-based LLM that Inception says runs at more than 1,000 tokens per second with a 1M-token context window. It's OpenAI API compatible and available on Inception's API, OpenRouter, Baseten and Vercel.
Coding AgentsFrom $0.20Speech models and a voice agent SDK that listen, reason, call tools and speak
Mistral's speech-to-text and text-to-speech models plus a voice agent SDK that listens, reasons, calls tools and speaks in one real-time pipeline. Transcription covers 50+ languages, and you can use Mistral's EU-hosted API or self-deploy.
AutomationFrom $0.0035Gives coding agents ears for sound files, long recordings and whole videos
Gives coding agents "ears": it describes sounds in words, finds moments in long recordings and critiques the audio of whole videos. It runs locally on CPU as a CLI, Python API and MCP server.
Coding AgentsFree, open sourceDescribe a page and it writes the whole thing as one HTML file
An open-source design agent: describe a page and it writes the whole thing as a single HTML file, keeping a version for every turn. It starts from ten design styles or your own design.md.
Vibe CodingFree, open sourcePulls windows from another Mac onto yours as real windows with Dock icons
Brings windows from another Mac, such as agents running on a headless Mac mini, onto the Mac in front of you as real windows with their own Dock icons. Traffic goes directly between your Macs, encrypted.
Coding AgentsFree tier, from $7/moLets Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI debloat an Android or Google TV over Wi-Fi
A prompt and a small launcher that let Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI debloat an Android or Google TV over Wi-Fi and swap in an ad-free, Apple TV-style home screen. Apps are disabled rather than uninstalled, and there's a one-line restore.
Vibe CodingFree, open sourceA prompt and tiny home screen that let Claude Code or Codex clean up a slow Android TV
A copy-paste prompt and a tiny home screen that let Claude Code or Codex clean up a slow Android TV, asking before every change and keeping an undo list. Its prompt warns that a few TVs have gotten stuck at the logo.
Vibe CodingFree, open sourceLets a coding agent turn a single-player PC game into co-op
A playbook, skills and an MCP server that let a coding agent turn a single-player PC game into co-op, by reviving an existing mod or reverse engineering the game, then testing with in-game bots. It hosts no game files and avoids anti-cheat and online services.
