I'm developing an agent focused on A2A, support for small models, and privacy (https://swival.dev).

I looked at the leaked code expecting some "secret sauce", but honestly didn't found anything interesting.

I don't get the hype around Claude Code. There's nothing new or unique. The real strength are the models.


Works really great with https://swival.dev and qwen3.5.

It shows that a company you and your organization are trusting with your data, and allowing full control over your devices 24/7, is failing to properly secure its own software.

It's a wake up call.


It is a client running on an interpreted language your own computer, there is nothing to secure or hide as source was provided to you already or am I mistaking?

It was heavily obfuscated, keeping users in the dark about what they’re installing and running.

I systematically use reviewers agents in Swival: https://swival.dev/pages/reviews.html

Even with the same model (--self-review), that makes a huge difference, and immediately highlights how bad the first iterations of an LLM output can be.


Codeberg is great, but I really miss Octobox.

I can't imagine using GitHub without Octobox; it's just impossible to keep track of all the notifications by email.

Unfortunately, Octobox doesn't support GitHub, so I've no idea how to follow projects, even the ones I really want to contribute to.


The US doesn't even have to ask, people already give AI providers all their data and full control over all their devices.

ugrep is my daily driver. https://ugrep.com

The TUI is great, and approximate matches are insanely useful.


For open models with limited context, Swival works really well: https://swival.dev

For context extraction, Lightpanda is a really great option. Much faster than Chrome, and it comes with a built-in MCP server.

However, it will not fill forms, etc. But it can be combined with agent-browser to get the best of both worlds: https://swival.dev/pages/web-browsing.html


Swival is really good at managing the context: https://swival.dev/pages/context-management.html


Thanks, checking it out!
