I owe
@CommandCodeAI a shoutout.
I’ve been posting a lot about how good DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is, but I’d mostly been using it through Hermes with Command Code as a provider.
I finally tried Command Code’s own harness.
The difference is ridiculous.
Same V4.1 Flash, but responses feel dramatically faster and the whole experience is much more immediate.
Hermes is great for long-running autonomous work, but Command Code feels so much better for interactive coding and quick back-and-forth.
The desktop app seems great so far too.
I seriously underestimated how much the harness changes the experience.
