June head-to-heads show a clear shape: OpenCode crossed ~150K–172K GitHub stars and ~6.5M monthly active developers to become the default open-source choice, Codex CLI on GPT-5.5 took the benchmark performance lead, and Aider is visibly slowing, last repo push May 22 against daily pushes from OpenCode and Cline (Morph). Release cadence is now a real differentiator, not just raw capability. A coding agent that stops shipping weekly is a coding agent falling behind on model support, MCP fixes, and security patches. Momentum matters when the substrate moves this fast.

Goose moved to the Linux Foundation, OpenCode relocated to the anomalyco org and now cites 160K+ stars, 900+ contributors, and 7.5M monthly developers (Morph). On capability, Codex CLI with GPT-5.5 still leads Terminal-Bench at 83.4%, while Google retired the consumer Gemini C...
On April 10, Anthropic accidentally shipped 510,000 lines of TypeScript source maps with Claude Code v2.1.88 on npm. A missing .npmignore file. The community response was immediate and massive: someone created Claw Code, a Rust rewrite, which hit 50K GitHub stars in 2 hours an...
GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra tops out at 91.9%. The public leaderboard is led by Codex CLI plus GPT-5.5 at 83.4%, with Claude Code plus Opus 4.8 the top usable Claude pairing at 78.9%, and Gemini CLI plus Gemini 3.1 Pro at 70.7% (Morph). There are now roughly 35 actively maintained CLI c...
Terminal-Bench 2.1 results (entries dated June 17) put Codex CLI on GPT-5.5 first at 83.4%, Claude Code on Fable 5 second at 83.1%, and Claude Code on Opus 4.8 at 78.9%. The asterisk matters more than the ranking: Fable 5 and Mythos 5 have been export-suspended since June 12,...
The largest available cost lever might not be the model. It might be a prompt telling the model to calm down. DietrichGebert/ponytail is a portable agent skill with a simple thesis: force coding agents toward the minimal solution. YAGNI first. Standard library before custom co...
Engrim (SQLite memory readable by four harnesses), Kit by Speakeasy (one binary speaking ACP v1/v2, A2A, MCP and Agent Skills), Yurei (MCP browser control for OpenCode, Cursor, Windsurf and Codex CLI) and Crew (agents messaging each other through ~/.crew hooks) all appeared be...
