Reflection AI

Site of Reflection AI, an AI company building open superintelligent systems and coding agents.

Mouse — Coding Agent for Your Phone

A coding agent that runs your code project in the cloud from your phone and brings back changes for you to review.

Why I recommend it: Company product page. Check what the free plan covers; giving any agent access to your code carries risk.

I Ran Gemma 4 as a Local Model in Codex CLI

A hands-on write-up of wiring Google's open Gemma 4 model into the Codex command-line coding agent so it runs locally instead of calling a hosted API.

From the site: I wanted to know whether Gemma 4 could replace a cloud model for my day-to-day agentic coding. Not in theory, in practice. I use Codex CLI…

Why I recommend it: Useful if you want to try coding agents without paying per token — local models are slower, but free and private.

Kilo — open source AI coding agent

A free, open-source AI coding agent for VS Code, JetBrains, the command line and the cloud, with support for local models and your own API keys at no markup.

From the site: Kilo is the open source AI coding agent for VS Code, JetBrains, CLI, and Cloud. Access 500+ models, bring your own keys at zero markup, and keep code private with local models.

Why I recommend it: Open source and free to install — you only pay a model provider if you choose a hosted one.
