    While "burning tokens" isn't necessarily a good thing, I thought it worthwhile to throw together a quick leaderboard to track the dev setups of the top HN token burners. Jesse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Vincent), Wes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wes_McKinney), and Harper (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harper_Reed) are using it to report their Claude/Codex usage.

    Superset▲541

    Hey HN, we’re Avi, Kiet, and Satya. We’re building Superset, an open-source terminal made for managing a bunch of coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc) in parallel. - Superset makes it easy to spin up git worktrees and automatically setup your environment - Agents and terminal tabs are isolated to worktrees, preventing conflicts - Built-in hooks [0] to notify when your coding agents are done/needs attention, - A diff viewer to review the changes and make PRs quickly We’re three engineers who’ve built and maintained large codebases, and kept wanting to work on as many features in…

    Scored 65.2% vs google's official 47.8%, and the existing top closed source model Junie CLI's 64.3%. Since there are a lot of reports of deliberate cheating on TerminalBench 2.0 lately (https://debugml.github.io/cheating-agents/), I would like to also clarify a few things 1. Absolutely no {agents/skills}.md files were inserted at any point. No cheating mechanisms whatsoever 2. The cli agent was run in leaderboard compliant way (no modification of resources or timeouts) 3. The full terminal bench run was done using the fully open source version of the agent, no…

    Termly▲82

    Hey HN! I'm one of the developers of Termly. Problem: I love using Claude Code for development, but being chained to my laptop all day wasn't working. SSH + terminal emulators felt clunky for interactive AI coding sessions. Solution: Built a WebSocket relay that mirrors your AI coding session to mobile with zero-knowledge E2E encryption. How it works: 1. npm install -g @termly-dev/cli 2. termly start (wraps your AI tool) 3. Scan QR code with mobile app 4. Your session syncs in real-time, encrypted end-to-end Tech stack: • Open source CLI (MIT licensed) - inspect the code yourself •…

    Multitui▲126

    I made Multitui to control the sandbox of coding agents easily without changing my dev environment (no special container or VM). There's no configuration required in your local dev environment... just launch ClaudeCode.app instead of claude in your general terminal. Containers and VMs can be useful, but I always have a bunch of projects going and those solutions feel heavy. Multitui creates single-purpose native macOS apps for any terminal app, with optional sandbox. It uses the built-in macOS sandbox-exec along with log monitoring to give you an easy UI to manage rules, see what's being…

    Moshi▲38

    I built an iOS app to interact with coding agents from my phone. Most remote solutions I've seen require installing a server or relay on your machine. Moshi is just an app — SSH/Mosh into your Mac/PC/Sandbox and you're done. The use case isn't really "I need to get back to my computer." It's more like: - I'm curious how the agent is doing on that refactor - I want Claude Code to research something for me (it knows my codebase, unlike a fresh chatbot) - I have an idea and want to tell the agent before I forget I just type what I want — or speak it. Whisper transcribes locally,…

    AI that actually controls your Windows/Mac desktop - clicks, types, automates workflows across any application. Native OS integration, not cloud APIs. Built this because I was tired of AI that could only chat. Free tier (Gemini) + paid tier (Claude) for reliable automation. The AI can automate complex workflows, manage files/emails, control browsers and native apps. Just launched 2 weeks ago. What workflows would you want automated?

    Gofer is a side-project I wrote at 15 because I was sick of these so-called CLI agents. Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, they're all wonderful if you're coding. But for those just wanna automate their stuff, it's a dud. Gofer solves this by being terminal-first, meant to accomplish any task a command line can. It can also watch your desktop so you can avoid waiting for downloads to finish, and can text you via. Telegram! Happy to answer any questions :D! -J

    Hi everyone, nice to meet you and I am a newcomer of HN. I have made a binary tool Aih that could communicate with Bard, ChatGPT, Claude, and Llama(HuggingChat) from the terminal. https://github.com/Databingo/aih Since CAPTCHA challenges and bots detecting have become increasingly difficult, I've changed my strategy from hacking the APIs to simulating a real browser's action. The tool first takes the logged-in cookies of Google, ChatGPT, Claude, and HuggingChat accounts from the real Chrome browser, then it opens an invisible instance of Chromium for communication, then…
