Key Takeaways
- Grok 4.7 ships: clear lift over 4.6 at the same price/speed; Build harness is the recommended path, with Cursor / Cline / Devin / Droid / VS lighting up the same day.
- Devin adds Cloud in Terminal and
devin ssh, and plugs in Grok 4.7 across Cloud / Desktop / CLI. - A missed Cursor Compile talk becomes a long post: @poteto on landing ~2,500 PRs in a month.
- Xiaomi open-sources MiMo-V2.6; Jev moves from “what is it” to cost-cutting harnesses; Capy gets named next to Claude Code / Codex.
1. Grok 4.7: third seat in agentic coding, tied to Build harness
Summary: @SpaceXAI launched Grok 4.7, calling it a notable upgrade over 4.6 at the same price and speed. @elonmusk put SpaceXAI third for agentic coding after Anthropic and OpenAI, and repeatedly said to use the Build harness for best results. @ericzakariasson shared the model card (jumps on Terminal-Bench, SWE-Marathon, etc.); @aksheyd said they spent heavy cycles on the harness for Grok Build / Cursor. Artificial Analysis placed it in the top four with Coding Agent Index gains.
Why it matters: The story is not only a new SKU—it is model + first-party harness + IDE/agent surfaces, with Cursor, Cline, Devin, Factory Droid, and Visual Studio following the same day.

2. Devin: Cloud in the terminal + devin ssh, plus Grok 4.7
Summary: @cognition shipped Devin Cloud in Terminal (/cloud to create/steer cloud sessions) and devin ssh (SSH into the Devin VM for edits, processes, port forwards). The same day, Grok 4.7 landed in Devin with FrontierCode-style notes; @devindesktop confirmed Desktop / CLI.
Why it matters: Cloud agents move from “watch the web UI” to CLI/SSH workflows, while the multi-model menu keeps expanding.
- Cloud + SSH: https://x.com/cognition/status/2102104259219406886
- Grok 4.7 in Devin: https://x.com/cognition/status/2102147831519666639
- Desktop/CLI: https://x.com/devindesktop/status/2102148086231339103

3. Cursor Compile: ~2,500 production PRs in a month
Summary: @poteto published what was meant for Cursor Compile London—how they landed about 2,500 PRs to production last month. It is a long video workflow post, not a product changelog.
Why it matters: While Grok folks push “try it in Cursor,” practitioners are talking about how to actually raise PR throughput with agents.

4. Xiaomi MiMo-V2.6: open omnimodal weights near the top of OSS boards
Summary: @XiaomiMiMo released MiMo-V2.6 Pro / Flash—sparse MoE, ~1M context, MIT, native text/image/video/audio. @ArtificialAnlys put Pro at 46 on the Intelligence Index among open weights with a very low $/intelligence; @_LuoFuli wrote about an unusually large open-source RL run. vLLM announced day-0 support for both sizes.
Why it matters: Another open coding/multimodal stack that is local-friendly, servable, and scored—with an honest RL cost story.
- Launch: https://x.com/XiaomiMiMo/status/2102138559952290106
- AA board: https://x.com/ArtificialAnlys/status/2102128560962187701
- RL write-up: https://x.com/_LuoFuli/status/2102162926802968749

5. Jev / Kev: from “what is it” to “cut ~90% cost”
Summary: @willdepue reflected on why Jev resonated—a zero-shot, frontier-ish classifier. @_aj said a new TypeSafe Jev harness cut repetitive-work cost by ~90% by sinking steps from LLM calls into code. @jaredpalmer refreshed Kev on Qwen3.5 (0.8B/4B/9B + Modal fine-tune script). @nhciao tried Jev + Rime IME and noted the missing Cursor-like tab completion.
Why it matters: Yesterday was about access; today is about what the bill looks like once classifiers sit inside a harness.
- Reflection: https://x.com/willdepue/status/2102070249453469823
- Cost-cutting harness: https://x.com/_aj/status/2102061534956662818
- Kev on Qwen3.5: https://x.com/jaredpalmer/status/2102048412841517495
- IME experiment: https://x.com/nhciao/status/2101967227327267297

6. Cline: Grok 4.7 live, ~40% off for a week
Summary: @cline said Grok 4.7 is live in Cline at about 40% off through Sep 27—DeepSWE near GPT 5.6 Sol / Fable 5.1, high TPS, ~8× cheaper—and called out how snappy it feels in the new Cline Desktop.
Why it matters: Model launch day is also a distribution fight: discount + desktop UX bundled together.

7. GitHub Copilot: agent runtime to Rust + editable diffs
Summary: @github said one engineer plus a team of agents ported the GitHub Copilot agent runtime to Rust—about 800k lines of production code with quality retained. @gimenete previewed editable diffs in the Copilot desktop app: when the agent gets you most of the way, finish the last tweaks in the diff.
Why it matters: Agents shipping large migrations on one side; humans reclaiming the last mile in the diff UI on the other.
- Runtime to Rust: https://x.com/github/status/2102103572867358977
- Editable diffs: https://x.com/gimenete/status/2102063244491858051

8. Capy: multi-step PR workflows vs Claude Code / Codex
Summary: @garrytan said @capydotai tracks multi-step workflows and large PRs faster than Codex or Claude Code alone. @0xluffy added DeepSWE notes: Capy better, faster, and cheaper than big harnesses (~half the cost and time).
Why it matters: Another live data point that the shell can matter as much as the model—same thread as yesterday’s Harness Tax talk.
- Garry: https://x.com/garrytan/status/2102095924893827501
- DeepSWE compare: https://x.com/0xluffy/status/2102128216551165979

9. Factory Droid: Grok 4.7 on day one
Summary: @FactoryAI said Grok 4.7 is live in Droid, with early notes that it is strong across engineering, debugging, data, and infra, and moves into concrete command discovery quickly.
Why it matters: Same launch-day pattern as Cline and Devin—harness vendors ship access plus a few usage notes.

10. IntelliJ: fast AI code is not enough—close the validation loop
Summary: @intellijidea argued the hard part is not writing code fast, but making sure AI got it right—generate in IDEA, then immediately validate with the debugger, test runner, and inspections before you ship.
Why it matters: On a day full of new models and harnesses, a classic IDE puts verification back at the center of the product story.
