Command Code aims to improve open-source coding models

The post introduces Command Code, a terminal coding agent. It says the real output of open-source coding models depends heavily on the tool system around the model, not only on the model itself. Command Code says it handles request routing, caching, long context, failed tool call repair, and different run modes. The post also reports a first-party claim that DeepSeek V4 Pro beat Opus 4.7 in 6 out of 10 tool-heavy tests inside this system.
