Very excited as we have our first remote core team member joining the @nano_collective tomorrow. We're growing!!!

Big welcome to @akramcodez 🔥

Nanocoder v1.27.0 is out. Skills (unified extension surface), a background daemon for file-watching and cron, Custom Tools (markdown-defined, model-callable), LLM compaction, config lint at startup, two OOM fixes. https://t.co/9HkrJt3CLi

The Nano Collective builds open, private AI that runs on your own machine. We just took on our first developer.

Sponsors fund credits, tools, and bounties that go straight to contributors.

It's early, and that's the fun part. Come build with us :D

[Nano Collective @nano_collective]

The NC sponsorship program is live. Three tiers plus bespoke, and we also take non-cash support: credits, compute, hardware. All funds flow to the community fund that pays OSS contributors via OSC. Nanocoder, Nanotune, get-md, json-up. https://t.co/gYwoKbcwjz

This little package doesn’t often get shouted out much but, it’s super powerful AND, it just got more powerful 🔥

[Nano Collective @nano_collective]

get-md v1.5.0 is out. Pluggable LLM backends, batch + sitemap crawling, RAG helpers, image localisation, HTTP retry/cache, and a 12-bug sweep. 528 tests.

You might like what we're building at the @nano_collective - we're building Nanocoder which is an agent that tries to support much smaller models and it a core part of what we're trying to build. It's an ever evolving challenge but we're a complete community-led group. No profits.

An evening in Exeter away from the computer.

[Will Lamerton @willlamerton]

We're almost done building skills into Nanocoder - the extensibility is very very cool. @nano_collective

[Dwayne @CtrlAltDwayne]

CumBench v1.0 results are in.

Gemini 3.5 Flash ranks #1 on the CumBench benchmark, outperforming much larger models a whole size above it in real-world finish quality.

The gap is honestly staggering.

Not a bad view to end the week 🍕

Pi was a solo MIT project, now owned by Earendil (Accel + Balderton-backed). Nanocoder is built by the Nano Collective: no investors, no exit pressure, no cap table. Your AI tooling, owned by no one but the people who use it.

This is beyond awesome... 70k downloads is just the start! 🔥

[Nano Collective @nano_collective]

The Nano Collective just crossed 70k total downloads across Nanocoder, Nanotune, get-md, and json-up. Open-source AI tooling, built by the community, for the community. No cloud dependency. No extraction. Everything stays open. More at https://t.co/gYwoKbcwjz

Nanocoder 1.26.0 is out 🔥

Very very happy with the release. It's possibly our largest yet with not only great new features but huge reworks under the hood to make your experience even better.

https://t.co/jMt74jq7e0

[Nano Collective @nano_collective]

Nanocoder v1.26.0 is out. Nano mode for low-end hardware, real-time reasoning traces, a --plain flag for CI, VS Code extension rework, and 12+ new themes. Full changelog below. https://t.co/9HkrJt3CLi

[Will Lamerton @willlamerton]

Very proud of this release. Agent workflows are so powerful...

[Nano Collective @nano_collective]

Agents do the work. Software hands humans the outputs. That's the pattern ContentForest demonstrates - and the shape the Nano Collective is building more tools around. https://t.co/gYwoKbcwjz

[Will Lamerton @willlamerton]

An epic feature going into Nanocoder - sometimes it's the small things in the UI that add that polish!

[Nano Collective @nano_collective]

Reasoning traces are going into Nanocoder - such an awesome addition by our contributors!

[Will Lamerton @willlamerton]

Very proud of this Nanocoder release - big contributions from all corners of the community and the software is getting reallllyyyy good 🔥

[Nano Collective @nano_collective]

Nanocoder 1.25.0 is here 🚀

Yolo mode, subagents for parallel delegation, redesigned plan mode, smarter tool orchestration, and desktop notifications. This is a massive one for Nanocoder.
