Command Code is the most used coding agent on open router overtaking Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, Kilo, Cline, etc in just two months. Command Code is purpose built for open models. Devs using it to get the most out of open models, save the most money, get the best caching & tool call repairs

Ahmad Awais @ahmadawais.com · 18/07/2026

update: today Command Code overtook Claude Code on OpenRouter. devs are picking the harness built for open models over monkey-patching proxy hacks into claude code. it has sub par perf & wastes your time/money with open models as it's only meant for claude models. x.com/MrAhmadAwai...

Ahmad Awais @ahmadawais.com · 12/06/2026

Got interviewed by Business Insider on how enterprise are switching to open models. With Command Code gaining over 10K paying customers in 30 days. Demand for cheaper yet intelligent open models is growing fast, we've made open models outperform closed, most of my research on this is public.

Ahmad Awais @ahmadawais.com · 07/06/2026

i don't use 90% of the vs code features anymore. i'm changing!! as someone who's been writing code for 27 years now, this is the biggest change i'm experiencing. software engineering is changing more deeply than i had realized.

Command Code just crossed 10K paying customers! 🎉 It took 30 days to go from 0 to 10k customers. Fastest growing coding agent in history. Soon we'll be adding the same daily. Cooking something special here. Best harness for open models.

Ahmad Awais @ahmadawais.com · 31/05/2026

Tomorrow Command Code drops one of the best deals ever. Noon 12pm pacific. Can't wait to share.

BIG day for us!! Command Code has crossed $1M in annual run rate, 1 trillion tokens of usage, with over 9K customers, just 24 days after beta launch. We believe this makes it the fastest-growing coding agent harness for open models. 3rd largest by usage.

Command Code x Claude Opus 4.8 Opus 4.8 excels at long-horizon agentic coding, large multi-file refactors, ambiguous specs that need pushback, complex multi-step agent runs, and high-autonomy work where reasoning quality matters most. - Same price as 4.7 - 1M context

Ahmad Awais @ahmadawais.com · 27/05/2026

MiMo-V2.5-Pro & MiMo-V2.5 are now ~99% off on Command Code. This is like 100x more usage! Input, output, and cache pricing are all lower. Works on every plan + extra top-ups. Pick the /model and go! Our $1 Go plan with $10 in it is perfect for this. Let's go!

Ahmad Awais @ahmadawais.com · 01/05/2026

Claude Mythos SWE-bench score jumped from 65 to 82. Terminal bench numbers look genuinely strong. That's some serious improvement. If it holds in actual usage, Anthropic might cross OpenAI's revenue this year - Mythos will have a lot to do with that.

Ahmad Awais @ahmadawais.com · 01/05/2026

The old saying that "ideas are worth nothing, execution is everything" feels increasingly wrong to me. Consider: 2 years ago, the idea was basically "Claude isn't available outside the US, fork VS Code, wrap it." That's it. That's Cursor. ~$50B company.

Manus timeline: - Launched March 2025 - $100M revenue in ~6 months - Acquired by Meta for $2B in December 2025 - Execs join Meta as employees - Money gets transferred - April 2026: China blocks the deal LOL what

Ahmad Awais @ahmadawais.com · 30/04/2026

The biggest reason I want to open source Command Code? I want every developer to be able to build on top of what we've built. So your coding agent is MORE closer to what you actually want it to be. Code is cheap. AI can code really, really well now.

introducing plist-next 📋 i wanted a modern plist parser that just works. no bloat, no legacy baggage, just typescript + strict types + zod validation. the original plist.js is solid, but it's 2026. we can do better. plist-next: • TypeScript first — strict mode, full type safety

stopped watching TV lately. not because i'm disciplined. because building with coding agents (Command Code) became more interesting than Netflix. sounds absurd. but i'm polyphasic. wake up twice a day. used to split it: once for work, once for TV. now both sessions are building sessions.

Introducing `grepts` 🔍 A fast TypeScript grep - ripgrep reimagined for Node.js. I kept spawning ripgrep from Node.js and watching 5ms vanish per call. Fork, exec, pipe, parse stdout. So I built a grep that runs as a function call. 17μs. Built with Command Code. $ npm i grepts

most documentation landing pages fail the squint test if i can't tell what your tool does in 3 seconds with my eyes half-closed, you already lost me documentation that looks like a product gets read documentation that looks like an afterthought gets skipped

Introducing `terminui` 📟 A fast, double buffered toolkit for building terminal UIs. I wanted a TUI toolkit with a small core model, predictable double buffered rendering (only changed cells flush), and strict types. Built with Command Code using my code and cli taste.

infra that feels like a product gets maintained infra that feels like punishment gets ignored your test suite is a product. it has users (your team). it has SLAs (CI time). it needs DX work.

Node.js 24 changed how `events.once()` cleans up listeners nobody told my teardown function wasted a bunch of time today fixing tests. eng workflows need to change with fast changing software.

the best code you write this week will probably be a deletion not a clever abstraction. not a new feature. one line removed from a teardown function that was quietly causing exit code 1 after passing tests. subtraction is underrated in engineering. it's underrated in startups too.

000

terminal output can have hyperlinks your draft ID text can be a clickable link to the web app most CLIs ignore this. the ones that don't feel magical. use `terminal-link` npm pkg. takes 5 minutes. ship it.

Big announcement, next week!
