   Claude Code and Claude 3.7 Sonnet ▲875

   Claude Opus 4.7 is Anthropic's most capable generally available model, released April 16, 2026. It outperforms Opus 4.6, GPT-5.4, and Gemini 3.1 Pro on key benchmarks including agentic coding, multidisciplinary reasoning, scaled tool use, and agentic computer use. It is benchmarked below Claude Mythos Preview — which remains restricted to Project Glasswing partners. https://vucense.com/ai-intelligence/ai-tools/claude-opus-4-7...

   1Code▲569

   Just to clarify the background a bit. This project wasn’t planned as a big standalone release at first. On January 16, Ollama added support for an Anthropic-compatible API, and I was curious how far this could be pushed in practice. I decided to try plugging local Ollama models directly into a Claude Code-style workflow and see if it would actually work end to end. Here is the release note from Ollama that made this possible: https://ollama.com/blog/claude Technically, what I do is pretty straightforward: - Detect which local models are available in Ollama. - When…

   WOZCODE▲194

   For the last year we've been building an AI mobile app builder. Last week we decided to generalize our agent harness and benchmark it against vanilla Claude Code. Turns out the tools we built for app building were significantly more efficient than the native Claude Code tools. When we ran benchmarks we beat Claude code on speed (~40% faster) , cost (25-55% cheaper) and performance (+17% on Terminal Bench 2.0). Today we're making our agent harness publicly available as a Claude Code plugin. Use code WOZCODE1 to try it for $1 at wozcode.com

    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 •…

    Retain – A unified knowledge base for all your AI coding conversations▲45

    Hey HN! I built Retain as the evolution of claude-reflect (github.com/BayramAnnakov/claude-reflect). The original problem: I use Claude Code/Codex daily for coding, plus claude.ai and ChatGPT occasionally. Every conversation contains decisions, corrections, and patterns I forget existed weeks later. I kept re-explaining the same preferences. claude-reflect was a CLI tool that extracted learnings from Claude Code sessions. Retain takes this further with a native macOS app that: - Aggregates conversations from Claude Code, claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Codex CLI - Instant full-text…

    ChatCode▲16

    Hi HN, I built a Telegram bot that allows you to vibe coding directly in chat, optimized for mobile use. Key features: – Run CLI commands via Telegram chat – View code diffs with syntax highlighting via Mini App – Full permission control before executing any command – Local deployment supported (no public IP required) Try it: https://chatcode.top GitHub: https://github.com/Nickqiaoo/chatcode I’d love feedback, especially on mobile experience and security design.

    Scapefree tier, from $9.99/mo▲59

    Hey HN, we've been using Claude Code daily for months, and built Scape to fix our biggest pain point: managing multiple worktrees quickly & reducing the mental load of switching between them quickly. What we built: Scape is a macOS menu bar app that sits on top of Claude Code and gives you: - One-click worktrees: click a button, get a new git worktree with a Claude session already working on it. Develop in parallel without leaving your current branch. - Toolkit: per-session actions like "Create PR", "Commit & Push", "Run & Fix Tests." Add your own with bash scripts or prompts. -…

    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,…

    Open-Source Animal Crossing–Style UI for Claude Code Agents▲48

    We posted here on Monday and got some great feedback. We’ve implemented a few of the most requested updates: - iMessage channel support (agents can text people and you can text agents) Other channels are simple to extend. - A built-in browser (agents can navigate and interact with websites) - Scheduling (run tasks on a timer / cron/ in the future) - Built in tunneling so that the agents can share local stuff with you over the internet - More robust MCP and Skills support so anyone can extend it - Auto approval for agent requests If you didn’t see the original: Outworked is a…

    I built a Claude AI chat interface to bypass platform limits▲39

    I got frustrated with Claude's official platform limitations - conversations disappearing, no customization options, and clunky file handling. So I built my own interface over a weekend! GitHub: https://github.com/chihebnabil/claude-ui What it does: - Saves all conversations locally (SQLite + Drizzle ORM) - Lets you customize Claude's personality per chat - Handles file attachments properly + caching input tokens - Dark/light mode - No conversation limits - Markdown & code syntax highlighting Tech stack is pretty simple: - Nuxt 3 for the frontend - Anthropic's SDK…

    Oyster Bot▲3

    I wanted Claude Code on my phone without running extra infrastructure. Existing solutions felt heavy..gateway servers, native apps, etc. This is a Telegram bot that spawns the Claude CLI and pipes responses back to you. Clone, npm install, add your bot token, run it. Works with Claude Pro/Max (no API key required). You can whitelist users, restrict which tools Claude can access, and add custom commands via plugins. Only ~400 lines of JS.
