since a lot of people asked re: zig vs rust compile times
End-to-end in CI, Bun today compiles ~3.4x faster than before the Rust rewrite. This is end-to-end, including C++ compilation, switching full LTO -> thin LTO, and cross-compilation on Linux.
Bun 1.4
- Fixes over 2,900 GitHub issues
- +1,517 tests from the Node.js test suite
- Reduces idle CPU by 5x
- Reduces memory usage by up to 35%
- Starts up to 50% faster on Linux
- Rewrites Bun in Rust
Thank you everyone who contributed since Bun 1.3!

Introducing fx, a tiny, open, native coding agent from Vercel Labs.
Originally an internal tool, fx is a harness and CLI written in Zig, optimized for research and embedding in larger systems. Today, we're open sourcing it.
fx is built on three principles:
1. Fast. A single native binary, no runtime to install. It cold starts in 10Β΅s and does no unnecessary work or I/O before accepting input. fx is the answer to "how fast can a coding agent be?"
2. Light. The 6.3MiB binary uses single-digit megabytes of memory at baseline, made for instant installation and embedding in resource-constrained environments and agent sandboxes.
3. Open. Apache-2.0, model and provider agnostic, suitable for local and cloud inference. Its small core extends through skills, plugins, and MCP.
Minimalism is an obsession throughout the entire harness: system prompt, tools, features, binary. The goal was to keep context usage and time to first token low, and make fx optimal for model benchmarking, sandboxing, evals, and gyms.
You can use fx directly or embed it as infrastructure. The CLI feels more like a Unix shell than an IDE in the terminal: it preserves scroll history, produces minimal output, and uses complex TUI rendering very, very sparingly. Programmatically, ππ‘ πππ --ππππ gives structured output, ππ‘ πππ connects to editors and other clients, and WebAssembly can even run the whole thing inside the browser (see: https://t.co/wf2Trg47sC).
Privacy is a design constraint: no product telemetry, sessions and usage stay local, and no source code or prompts are shared with any endpoint other than inference. With local inference and auto-updates off, fx is fully hermetic.
fx is experimental. Use at your own risk and expect frequent changes. Chat with us on X (https://t.co/A2AB2YythC) or file issues (https://t.co/GEjTHSoa1J).

Cursor: Origin Code Hosting
What changed:
- Origin is Cursor's new code hosting platform, rolling out in early beta on all paid plans: repos, pull requests, and code browsing
- GitHub repos sync to Origin in real time; PR comments and reactions sync both ways between Cursor and GitHub within seconds
- Agents can answer questions, make changes, update PRs, or push a branch from any Origin repo
