Zerminal – a terminal-first Zed fork for AI coding agents

What it does

Zerminal starts as a fast native terminal, then expands into agents, context, files, git, and the editor surface your project needs. The fastest path for your platform, with the command ready to copy. Use the CLI agents you already trust. No editor account, no model lock-in. Run Claude Code, Codex, and Aider in parallel when one thread is not enough. Keep AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, notes, and project context visible beside the terminal. I've been experimenting with terminal-first development environments for a while. Before Zerminal, I built Brosh , an Electron app around the same idea. I liked using it, but the weight and a few UI details kept bothering me. Zed had the speed, polish, and native…from zerminal.dev

  Clink – Bring your own CLI Agents, Ship instantly2025 · clink.new · ▲22

  Clink lets you use the coding agents you already pay for (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Z.ai GLM) to build → live-preview → ship apps in an isolated container. No token purchases, no extra cost for coding. Just link your existing Claude/OpenAI/Gemini account and start building and deploying instantly. Why we built this: Claude Code is our go-to for coding, but it lacked preview + deploy capabilities. We didn't want to pay Lovable again just for that. Different agents excel at different tasks - Claude Code for versatility, Codex for complex work, GLM for speed. We needed one…

  Hey HN, Today we're launching Code, a community-driven, open-source coding agent for your terminal. It's a fork of OpenAI's codex with a focus on developer ergonomics and local control. Key features: - Browser integration – attach to your Chrome via CDP or use a built-in headless browser. You can browse pages, run the CLI in a browser session, and even take screenshots from the terminal. - Multi-agent commands – /plan, /solve and /code orchestrate multiple models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) to propose and implement solutions, with consensus or race options. - Diff viewer – see…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
