Xencode
A Rust terminal coding agent that defaults to models on your own machine
Emerged finds new products worth a look, daily — what’s new today
It treats token cost as the design constraint, routing models and trimming context, and reports a 41.9% lower bill in its own benchmarks.
Felan Code is a terminal coding agent, an opinionated build of Pi with extensions aimed at cost. It routes work between models, manages context progressively, compacts tool output, tracks task state explicitly, and reports estimated savings as you go. It also has local-first memory, web access, MCP support and subagents with task graphs, and works with API and subscription providers. Run it with npx @felan-ai/felan on Node 22.19 or newer. The company behind it sells a hosted team platform: free for individuals, EUR 99 a month flat for teams.
