Tess-4.5-27B open-weights coding model matches its Qwen base using 25% fewer tokens

Fine-tuned from Qwen3.8-27B on 127 real engineering sessions, it ties its base at 133/150 on BenchLocal while generating 25% fewer tokens, and its multi-token-prediction draft head roughly doubles code generation on an RTX 4090 (49 to 96 tokens/sec). Apache 2.0 BF16 and GGUF weights are on Hugging Face, and the benchmarks are Continuity Research's own runs.

Lights-on software factory boilerplate moves Claude Code orchestration into deterministic scripts

The MIT repo, built from the setup behind Votito, bundles a sandboxed Claude Code container, a bash command regulator that auto approves or denies with guidance, a lint on edit PostToolUse hook, and a generator that turns a plan into multi agent workflow scripts with test gates. Its author says moving that orchestration out of the LLM cut token spend by about 80% versus a bare Claude workflow (Show HN)…

Claude Code 2.1.304 adds /auto-mode-setup, which reads your project to teach auto mode your environment

The guided setup learns from your project and recent sessions and now also runs on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and telemetry disabled sessions, while the new /claude api managed agents secure checks a Managed Agents config against Anthropic's security guide without changing anything. Pro and Max users also get a warning before resuming an idle conversation would eat a noticeable share of their 5 hour usage limit…

Fade lets you keep talking to one agent in your terminal while a second Builder agent writes the code

Built on the Pi harness, Fade runs a conversational companion and a Builder side by side so you can plan or line up tasks mid build, and it only marks work "checked" after committing the change and re running the Builder's own test or command proofs itself. It's an early, self described rough v0.5 (MIT, Node 22.19+, works with any Pi provider including Ollama), commits straight to your current branch, and has a no key npx @muzaffermahi/fade demo to try first…

Laminar's flow-1 finds hidden failures in agent traces at about $0.001 per trace

The RL trained model treats a trace like a repo, grepping spans to catch quiet errors such as an agent marking work done while tests still fail, and on Laminar's own 523 trace benchmark it edges GPT 6 Sol on detection F1 (.835 vs .816) at 23x lower cost, though Claude Opus 5 still scores higher (.890). Laminar's observability platform is Apache 2.0 and self hostable, and flow 1 runs in its Signals agent at $0.05/$0.30 per million input/output tokens (benchmark)…
