DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, first 24 hours of launch, broke all records!! Command Code served 3.1 TRILLION paid tokens. More than OpenRouter, OpenCode etc, or anyone else in the world. Sustained 230-300 TPS. Better, faster, cheaper!! 🐐

Ahmad Awais @ahmadawais.com · 02/09/2026

likely the fastest growing coding agent ever. we're a small team of exceptionally strong, principled engineers to push toward the speed of light: the absolute ceiling of what open models can do. Harness, inference, hardware, kernels, every last-mile optimization. hiring, come build it with us. 🐐

Command Code crossed $15M run rate today. we’re winning minds, hearts, & support from the developer community at an astronomical momentum. • $15M run rate • 28T tokens scale • 34K paying customers • 99%+ cache hit rates • $10/mo GOAT AI coding plan building the best coding agent for open models!

MiniMax M3 and M2.7 are now free in Command Code. next 10 days. all subscribers. all plans 🐐

000

We've crossed 30K paid customers, 100K+ developers, and 10 Trillion token scale. It's our 3rd month. Desktop app is in alpha, and two new products coming.

Yes, we're so confident in our v1 Command Code CLI that we now have no issue offering an API. We know you'll return for the best harness engineering, top notch harness tool, free tool repairs that save your sessions, and ~98.78% industry leading cache hit ratio.

100

We're also open sourcing Command Code later this month. It's finally time. We are almost ready. 86% review done. Does it have API access?

100

With the v1 release, which is a full rewrite of this 6-year-old codebase, it's now arguably one of the best, most mature coding agent harnesses. Check out the new Mods API - you can build anything you can imagine. We can't wait to see what you build with Command Code.

220

The GOAT plan is the next step in that journey: open models, accessible to everyone. Open models are already beating frontier closed models at coding. How rich is this moment if you think of it.

100

From getting DeepSeek to beat Opus, to building infra with leading ~98% cache hit rates, to fixing AI slop with the built-in /design skill - Command Code has made its way to the top of the open model coding world, everywhere.

100

Coding with open models comes with hard problems - cost, reliability, safety, and the sheer complexity of running them well. We set out to solve all of it, so you can pick an open model and just code.

The GOAT plan fixes that - it's the best value in the coding market today, with enough credits to do something meaningful with open models.

100

We started with the $1 Go plan. The sheer audacity of that plan was a hit, but it was also a bit of a tease: a great way to get started, not enough usage to last the month.

100

While almost every other coding agent was built to serve closed models, we built Command Code to be the best coding agent harness for open models.

The best low-cost coding plan: Command Code GOAT at $10/month. Unlimited coding on 30+ top open source and closed source models - pay $10, get $70 of credits, a 7x multiplier. With deals, usage stretches beyond $100.

Get started → commandcode.ai/docs/plans/... Why create the GOAT plan? At Command Code, we're incessantly curious about 1) open models, 2) how to get the best value out of them, and 3) how to make that value accessible to everyone. The GOAT plan is our answer to all three.

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

use a better harness to get the best open models performance, and to save time and money. read this why ↓ x.com/MrAhmadAwai...

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...

Excited to see where this goes as we're compounding and growing 30% week over week! All organic inbound, no PR here. Here's the full piece @BusinessInsider www.businessinsider.com/ai-companie...

The all-you-can-eat AI era is over. It's time to count calories.

Pricing changes after a boom in AI coding left companies with sticker shock. Now, executives are grappling with a new era.

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.

100

those 1,000 hours taught me exactly what developers touch a hundred times a day, which turns out to be exactly the knowledge you need to design what comes after it. i've never been more excited to build.

000

there's something very funny about the guy who built his career teaching editor mastery now building the thing that retires most of it. no regrets.

200

it ends somewhere much weirder.

100

the cli is the right first move. it's raw and native. it won't be beat. the agent should live on your machine, or in a sandbox, with your env, your repo, your private context, at least in this slow-takeoff world of jagged capabilities. but the terminal is where this paradigm starts.

100

3. the autonomy and human elements. how much do i want to steer right now: approve every tool call, or only review the final diff. the gui's job is making delegation legible. what did the agent do, why, and where should i look.

100

2. it'll be generated on demand. a refactor wants a different surface than a debugging session, which wants a different surface than a security review. the ui should rebuild itself around the task at hand instead of shoving everything through one chat box.

100

1. it'll be visual. vision is the 10-lane highway into the brain. diffs, dependency graphs, test matrices want to be seen. reading them line by line out of a scrollback buffer is brutal. watching an agent work should feel like watching a build pipeline. right now it feels like tailing a log file.

100

the gui for this new computer hasn't been invented yet. like anything, i wanna take a shot at this. i'm going to translate my entire shipsheet workflow into our upcoming gui. i think some of its properties can already be predicted:

100

the part i can't stop thinking about: the agent interface is still primitive. chatting with a coding agent in a terminal feels like using an 80s computer console. text in, text out, scroll forever.

context engineering > keybinding engineering. reading code > writing code. how fast can i review code and understand what's changing is the bottle neck now. not my snippets or multi cursor hacks.

100

i run Command Code now (3rd largest coding agent in the world) and my whole setup is a terminal, an agent, and taste. the scarce skill moved up the stack: from "how fast can you edit a buffer" to "how precisely can you specify intent and verify the result."

every one of them existed to speed up human-typed code. emmet expanded your html. linters caught your typos. gitlens prettied up your blame. snippets, keybindings, macros, all of it sanded down the keystroke. then agents deleted the keystrokes. and more i guess.

100

the extensions are fine. the job they were installed for is just gone. i hardly need snippets, or weird shortcut shenanigans, debugging is more hard core now then stepping over/in to code, Command Code writes scripts and wires itself in there, reads logs, and verifies everything for me.

100

i spent 1,000+ hours building vscode .pro. course 65 videos 100+ extensions in it and taught 31,715 developers how to become editor power users. but i don't use 90% or more of that now.

100

i remember pivoting from Electrical Eng to Computer Science after graduating, everything i knew about my life changed. this feels like that. everything i knew about software eng, all my tricks and hacks were built for a world where i'd write a lot of code manually. it's all changing now.

100

as we build a GUI app for Command Code, i'm forced to take a hard look at all of this. things i'm discovering i don't need anymore.

100

Ahmad Awais @ahmadawais.com · 05/06/2026

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.

100

Now our favorite model replacing all other flash models. DEAL 2.3x usage :tickets: $1 Go plan gets you ~$23 usage on Nemotron 3 Ultra $15 Pro plan gets you ~$70 usage $100 Max plan gets you ~$350 usage $200 Max plan gets ~$700
