- Worth noticing
- The beta lists four coding harnesses and more than 40 additional model providers.
Field notes
The page separates coding harnesses from model providers, listing OpenCode, Pi, Claude Code, and Codex alongside a broad provider roster. It also discloses two practical limits: the beta is invite-only, and the Mac build targets Apple silicon and is not yet signed or notarized by Apple. Model and feature availability depends on the selected harness.
