AI coding agent: reviews, statistics and news
Agents that write, fix, test and ship code on their own from a ticket or a prompt, in the editor, the terminal or the browser. Each one will be given the same ten programming tasks and tested on correctness, code quality, testing, repository awareness, speed and what it costs.
Every AI coding agent I follow
Every AI coding agent I follow, in alphabetical order. None has been through my bench yet: each one is queued for the nine tests, and the first reviews appear here as they are finished. The statistics measure 26 of them each month. 9 more listed tools are not measured here: 6 sit on shared domains whose traffic is not their own and 3 live on domains whose traffic is mostly another product. Each of those is marked on its card.
