I put the current leading tools side by side using the same public benchmarks that the community actually respects.Here’s the table (Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index, Terminal-Bench 2026, and SWE-bench Verified) as u see in the image.
Cerin is a free native desktop app that combines a full coding agent, a real IDE, and a deep Autopilot mode in one window. The agent and the editor share the same context (up to 1M tokens). It can drive your actual terminal, show line-by-line diffs, and let you switch between Plan, Act, and Autopilot at any time.The numbers alone are interesting. What matters more is that the product feels coherent. You’re not switching between a chat panel, an editor, and a terminal all day. Everything lives in the same place.You can use Cerin’s models or bring your own keys from any major provider. Context survives model switches.It’s free to download and try at cerin.space.I’m not dropping Cursor or Claude Code completely — each still has strengths. But the gap is smaller than I expected, and the fact that the strongest numbers currently belong to a free tool is hard to ignore.Test it on your own codebase and decide for yourself.
