Nanbeige4.3-33B is a new open model built for coding agents: Apache 2.0 license, 512K context.

On its team's own tests it beats Qwen3.8-27B on most agent benchmarks. Independent results still to come.

@akshay_manglik Saving integrations as source code you own is the part I like. When a site redesigns, does self-healing open a diff I can review, or patch it in place?

[Ship Radar 📡 for vibe coders @shipradar]

@nanbeige 80.9 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 at 33B is a big claim for local agents. Any official quantized build planned for 24GB cards, and a rough date for the 3B?

Pomerado (YC F26) has your agent work out a website once, then saves it as a tool it can call like an API. No more clicking through the same pages every run.

MIT core, runs as an MCP in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor.

@Vici_001 Right? Fewer tools to juggle, more time shipping. Appreciate you reading 🙌 More finds like this every week.

Google's new gemini-api CLI lets Claude Code, Codex or Cursor make images, video, voiceovers and music from one command.

It saves the file and hands your agent the path. In preview.

Easy hero art for your landing page.

@rauchg Writing down what done looks like before the agent starts fixes most of this for me. When it drifts, it's usually because I skipped that step.

A Brotli bug can let crafted compressed data run code on your server, and Express 5 decodes it by default.

Fixed in Node 22.23.4, 24.22.1 and 26.12.1, Bun 1.4.4 and Python Brotli 1.2.1.

Update before you ship.

NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Bolt fits in 4GB and handles tool calls on a phone or Jetson, no cloud needed.

Weights are on Hugging Face and run in Ollama and llama.cpp.

A free local agent brain for side projects.

@ReplitSupport @Replit Thanks, that clears it up. Atlas for the company, Agent for the payments. Handy combo for anyone shipping their first paid app.

Builders, what's one AI tool that actually saved you time this week?

Coding, design, automation, anything. Drop it below and I'll feature the best ones in next week's Ship Radar.

@Kimi_Moonshot Full-project coding in Godot and Unity is the part indie game devs will test first. Will the Nov 4 weights include the full 1M context, or is that API-only?

[Ship Radar 📡 for vibe coders @shipradar]

Kimi K3.1 Pro just dropped: 1M context, built for full-project coding, open weights promised by Nov 4.

On one reported task it cost $1.95 vs $10.35 on Opus 5.5.

Worth a test on your next frontend build.

Starting next week, Claude's web, desktop and mobile apps run in auto mode by default on Pro, Max and Team.

No approving every step. An automated check blocks risky actions, and manual is one switch away.

[Cursor @cursor_ai]

Cursor can now control your computer.

Agents can drive desktop apps like the iOS Simulator to test the features they build.

[Ship Radar 📡 for vibe coders @shipradar]

The new Coding Agent Index scores the model and the harness together.

Top: Claude Code + Opus 5.5 at 61.7, $11.42 a task.
Value: Codex + DeepSeek V4.1 Flash at 47.3, $0.39 a task.

Route the easy tickets cheap.

@ArtificialAnlys Approving every step was the biggest drag on long runs. Will there be a log of what the check blocked and why, so we can tune our prompts around it?
