open-source agent that went toe to toe with Claude Code on the same model and didn't blink. takes the scenic route though, so your token bill goes the long way round too.
- why the score
- MIT and model-agnostic. With Claude Opus 5 it solved 36 of 63 Terminal-Bench 4 tasks to Claude Code's 31 in an NTU study (Oct 2026), and tied Claude Code at 47 of 48 real tasks in Vocion's test (Oct 26), at about twice the time and cost. Free to self-host; Teams is $500/mo for 10 users.
- what it is
- Open-source (MIT) coding agent you run on your own machine or servers with any model, and it can drive Claude Code or Codex too. The paid plans are self-hosted team setups.
