Supacode is another very nice terminal that I think cmux — The Terminal for Multitasking can replace for me. At first glance, it certainly looks very good, somehow more mature than cmux.

deepreinforce-ai/Ornith-1.0-35B · Hugging Face is a model based on Qwen3.5 35B 8-bit with post-training specifically designed to provide explicit support for coding tasks. It is expected to perform significantly better in coding compared to other 35B MoE models and even outperform Qwen 3.6 35B. Initial experiments I conducted show solid tool-use with few error scenarios, which is promising. I could easily imagine using it as a base model for a Hermes Agent, for example, simply because it is incredibly fast (over 80 tokens per second locally on my M5 Max MacBook Pro).

DietrichGebert/ponytail: Makes your AI agent think like the laziest senior dev in the room. The best code is the code you never wrote. - a very interesting plugin for various coding agents (including Pi and OpenCode, which I use most frequently, but also all major well-known agents from the commercial sector), with which unnecessary code can be identified. It directly targets the typical weaknesses of agent-generated code, which often contains unnecessary abstractions, indirections, and code duplicates that can be represented much more simply. It also catches re-implementations of things already included in the standard library, or unnecessary dependencies on external libraries that can easily be replaced with a few inlines and standard functions.

AbarthJoe/Qwopus3.6-27B-v2-oQ8-mtp · Hugging Face is a very interesting model: Qwen 3.6 27B – one of the best dense models for coding – with fine-tuning based on Opus Thinking Bubbles. The goal is to have a solid foundation for a coding model that can operate with relatively low memory usage. In this version, it is the MLX-converted variant with 8-bit quantization and all weights for native MTP. Even though it is not the absolute fastest runner, it is at least usable and performs quite well in my small tests when analyzing code.

antirez/ds4: DeepSeek 4 Flash and PRO local inference engine for Metal, CUDA and ROCm is a quite interesting project that enables DeepSeek (specifically Q2 quantizations) to run as efficiently as possible on various UMA notebooks. Supported are MacBook, DGX Spark, and ROCm Strix Halo machines. Quite cool if it works—DeepSeek V4 Flash is already quite good as a base model for various purposes, such as a main model for Hermes.
