Just found a legit 0-cost local solution for Agent search & crawling I’ve been playing around with this open-source project called wigolo lately. It lets you do full search, scraping, crawling, extraction, and research—all running completely locally. No API keys, no cloud services, nothing leaves your device. This means your agents can search the web and grab pages for free, without relying on Firecrawl, Exa, Tavily, Brave, Jina, or any of those other paid tools. Super clean for regular users too—no more messing around with API keys or environment variables. github: KnockOutEZ/wigolo

Databricks just ran a real-world coding test (not some benchmark

suite) pitting different agent tools against various models. Chart’s simple: higher on the Y = better success rate, further left on the X = cheaper. Pi with top models is sitting at 80%+ success while burning way fewer tokens than everything else. Been running Pi myself for a bit now — grok-4.5 + DeepSeek-v4 plus my own setup (main agent orchestrating, subagents running concurrent with isolated context). Barely any rework, stupid fast, finally stopped refreshing my phone waiting for results. Main agent + concurrent subagents is clearly the direction. Seeing more tools start shipping this workflow lately.

Qwen-3.8 vs Kimi-K3

Prompt: "SVG animation of a real tennis rally, two players going at it, physically accurate, follows real-world logic." This one took me 2 hours to generate. Maybe that's on Qoder, not sure. Qwen-3.8 spent 40+ min just thinking and planning, then another hour writing the files and squashing bugs. But the result? Genuinely clean. It's got sound, and a bottom bar showing live commentary, ball speed, rally count, and shot analysis. Kimi-K3? No sound, and the stats bar is buggy. Doesn't update in real time.

OpenRouter, Carpooling edition.

wokey is a marketplace for LLM quota. It pairs people with unused plan credits to people who need more, and takes a 20% cut. Sellers keep 80% of what their credits earn; buyers save up to 90% of the official API price. I use it mostly for flagship models. The models check out as the real thing, cost less than going direct, and I skip the subscription jugglingling. If all you call are cheap models, a router still beats it. 🔗 https://wokey.ai/r/GKT1C78R

Meituan shipped LongCat-2.5

. 1.6T params, ~48B active, native multimodal, aimed at long-horizon agents, trained start to finish on Chinese hardware. Images get quantized into multi-level discrete tokens, and that's where Visual Coding and 3D pick up. On the RL side, failed trajectories get turned back into verifiable training tasks. W4A4 inference, 43% faster prefill. Meituan's own evals put it between Claude Opus 4.8 and Opus 5.
