Keep an eye out for Sonnet generating Python files. What typically happens is: let's say you had a refactor that needs to happen, and let's say 100 symbols need renaming. Instead of invoking the edit tool 100 times, Sonnet has thi

Opencode is pretty good and likely meets your needs. One thing I'll call out is Gemini is terrible as an agent currently because Gemini is not a very good tool calling LLM. It's an oracle. https://ghuntley.com/cars

Sonnet does this via the edit tool and bash tool. It’s inbuilt to the model.

Knowing how to build your own agent and what that loop is going to be the new whiteboard coding question in a couple of years. Absolute. It's going to be the same as "Reverse this string", "I've got a linked list, c
