Just tried and although it’s not that polished or fast imo it’s very cool.

GLM 5.2 totally free even with a free Vercel account.

Make business sense too - fx is the entry point to bring more user to Vercel AI.

I don’t want another coding agent. I would have to be unemployed to try all new software that pops up everywhere. :)

And every says it is the one :)

I like it from trying it quickly, but is there any way to use it with a provider other than vercel?

I too was frustrated with needing npm and slow startups or huge rust compile times for agents. I tried getting agents to write a tool like this with proper raw mode content pasting/ interruptions, but they just kept screwing it up without a framework like ratatui, so I wrote one in c by hand https://gist.github.com/fourlexboehm/a60e4ef9306744483731cd1... the only dependency is libcurl.

This binary is ~40kb and uses much less ram than fx.

"it can do everything Claude code can do" This is a tad bit hyperbolic.

Fair point, but name one thing you can't do with bash.

Very clean, thank you for posting!

They should spend their efforts making a harness that utilizes tiny AI models on the host in unison with the frontier model, to improve intelligence and capabilities. This is an under-explored area.

I couldn’t find an option to connect to a generic OpenAI-compatible endpoint - did I miss it?

I'm sorry, but this is pure slop. This has 26 tools and a tool for every single file operation and a tool for read tool output? What the fuck... And they call this minimalist.... Lmfao

The person who built this obviously has little understanding of harnesses.

You should have significantly less tools today with how good LLMs have become.

The start up time and binary size are quite literally the most useless stats to base a harness off of lol

Man what with Cloudflare, Vercel and all these tech companies just releasing pure slop.

Just use Pi. It's actually minimal and well thought out by people who actually understand agents.

Bit harsh. AFAIK, you cant embed pi in a webpage (wasm). That itself is a huge win for fx.

I think part of this is to enable the interface on the web and other devices where you might not have a terminal. But yeah, agreed, it's wayyyy too many tools.

I was wondering to build the same thing but someone already built it. I just need some agent that open/close super fast and don't eat half a gb of memory.

I'm most impressed with the domain name. GG

I thought my `disc.sh` was good but this is better.
