A direct comparison of Kimi K2.7 Code and GLM-5.2 for coding tasks, covering benchmarks, API constraints, context windows, pricing, and when to choose each.
Two HN threads with 2,600 combined points agree — local models are good now. Here's what that actually means for your coding workflow and when cloud APIs still win.
An AI agent ran up a $6,531 AWS bill in 24 hours while scanning a hobbyist network. Here are five controls to add before you deploy an agent.
Three Chinese open-source coding tools released in 2026 — a model, an agent harness, and a general-purpose model — each targeting a different part of the agentic coding stack.
Ponytail is an agent-portable skill that turns any AI coding agent into a lazy senior developer — 80-94% less code, 47-77% less cost, 3-6x faster.
Three ways to generate production-ready Lottie animations with Claude Code: the diffusionstudio skill, the Lottie Creator MCP, and the 21st SDK agent pattern.
