They should opt out of Google. What they are doing here in open daylight is insane. They stole the entire internet to train their models and are now shoving AI overviews down everyones throat. Clicks to publishers were already decreasing over the last years even without AI, but 2026 is showing what the future will look like, zero clicks from Google, because they dont care. Google got what it wanted and is now racing to AGI spending all its cash on datacenters, not caring about all the casualties along the way. Google, on its current trajectory, is truly evil in my opinion.
I'm really not a fan of regulation, but someone has to step in and have Google seperate its products, search should be free of AI overviews imo.
So I guess we (and a lot of other people) have had the same problem, which is managing your agents on the go. I decided to build a plugin[1] for my terminal multiplexer (herdr) to access the sessions via PWA served through a tailnet.
The model is (like Composer 2) based on Kimi K2.5 and they claim SOTA performance for 1/10th of the cost. The tweet also mentions that they've started a new model from scratch on Colossus 2 (xAI/SpaceX Cluster). Really impressive how they've made this jump from being called the vscode fork with no moat just a couple of months ago.
Always thought of this as two cars driving faster than you on the road. After a certain distance it's clear both are faster than you, but really hard to say which one is the fastest.
I see, thanks for explaining and congrats on the launch! After re-reading the description, the ability to use other frameworks might become a USP too.
Just a random remark, what's annoying and a pain point in my workflow are definitely proper development environments for agents . Not just runtimes but also managing secrets etc. Maybe an avenue to explore and use in marketing copy.
I agree with the general sentiment here that this is the future of coding for a lot of tasks. But in terms of a business case for your product I'm really struggling to see how this beats Claude code action? Which integrates directly with GitHub, at no additional cost, and I can use an oauth token to use my subscription.
Haven't used Windsurf yet, but in other tools this is called 'Agent' mode. So you open up the chat modal to talk to an LLM, then select 'Agent' mode and send your prompt.
Cursor recently lost me as a customer. Too many updates that disturb my workflow and productivity, no easy way to roll back versions, super sparse changelogs, lots of magic in context building, really untransparent pricing on max mode. I recently made the switch to Claude Code on the Max plan and I couldn't be happier. The only real thing I'm missing is the diff view across files, but I assume it's just a matter of time until that's properly implemented in Zed or VSCode.
Personally, I've been using Cursor since day 1. Lately with Gemini 2.5 Pro. I've also started experimenting with Zed and local models served via ollama in the last couple of days. Unfortunately, without good results so far.
