Mixdog
Open-source coding agent that stretches your AI limits
Get picks like this daily. Today's launch numbers, the top launches, AI and tech news, and a daily opportunity pick, straight to your inbox.
Mixdog is an open-source desktop coding agent that runs on the Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok subscription you already pay for. A strong lead model plans while cheap parallel workers do the grunt work, and a tiny local model picks the reasoning effort for each step. On Terminal-Bench 2.1 it matched Codex CLI's score with 63% fewer tokens (89 tasks x 5 trials, same model, official verifier, public logs). Free, Apache-2.0, Windows/Mac/Linux.

Could you build this?
Partial A basic multi-agent prompt runner is easy to build, but matching state-of-the-art benchmark scores (Terminal-Bench 2.1) with hierarchical sub-agents and local model routing requires specialized orchestration architectures.
What it would actually take: The system requires an orchestration framework (like LangGraph or custom DAG executor) managing parallel task queues, local SLM inference (via llama.cpp/Ollama) for step-routing, and dynamic token budget management. The difficult part is reliable autonomous terminal execution, state persistence, error recovery, and tool-use synchronization across different proprietary APIs. It takes an experienced AI systems engineer with strong benchmarking and agentic evaluation background to achieve competitive Terminal-Bench scores.
