I recently switched over to using primarily Bullet for my projects and the speed of it makes it very nice to get projects off the ground quickly and work properly. I also found that Adi and Alex make updates very regularly based on some of the feedback i've submitted to their feedback tab. Good work on this product guys! I'm excited to see how it develops in the future.

#22Your landing page is very hard to read. The font size is literally 10px for some content, while animations distract the reader. Dear YC, please force the startups to dedicate some of the 500k funding for standard web design.

Your comment was the solely reason why I clicked on their page! :-D
Looks like "Techno music design of the 90s" or similar :-D

Thanks Lucas, appreciate the feedback as always!

#24I think this adds no value. I would stick to OpenCode.
Things I would value: high-fidelity visualization (bonus points for Figma-like visual edits), good tool use (don't force me to tell the model), token efficiency, resource efficiency. Things that are not problems:
* Routing: OpenCode predefines subagents that you can set to appropriate models. * Search: there are AST and embedding-based search MCPs. I use https://github.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp

We'll get on that :)

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
The breakdown with which model, per-task cost, and methodology is in the "Full results and methodology" link in the post, not omitted. Definitely check it out if you haven't. On the saturation point, we agree that a 95.8% result on a mature benchmark isn't the main proof, which is why we're currently running against harder, less saturated benchmarks like Terminal-Bench, CursorBench, and SlopCodeBench (going to publis…
I did read "Full results and methodology". It doesn't seem to show which agents you are routing to. Am I missing something? And how do those agents score on SWE-Bench Verified?
The benchmark wasn't evaluated with the router, we wanted an apples-to-apples comparison of our harness against other harnesses like mini-swe-agent on the same models to see if we added speed + cost value beyond routing.

#29This is a promising direction! Unfortunately, I think the benchmark result here is essentially meaningless. I recently discovered this same lesson the hard way. I was trying to get a multi-agent system I was building to improve upon GPQA Diamond scores (system here: http://pellmell.ai ). No matter how hard I tried, I could not get any lift. When Fable 5 dropped, it also did not improve upon Opus, and I realized my mi…
The same thing holds for speed. I could build a system that speeds up Fable on GPQA Diamond ~50%, while improving score, by literally randomly selecting between Fable and Gemini 3.7 Flash. (Solve time for Flash is 0.1min and 0.8min for Fable, with Flash having a better score.) Hell, I could publish better score at 87.5% time reduction by having the router always pick Flash!
Like I mentioned, we omitted routing from the benchmark and evaluated with our strongest model modality. Also, randomly selecting between Fable and Gemini 3.7 Flash wouldn't preserve quality.

#30Are you freaking kidding me with YC throwing money at something like this? I guess I can fund raise just by having built https://maki.sh , and months ahead of other founders too...
I'm not sure why anyone would fund "creating an agent". OpenCode is competing with Codex and Claude already. "The bullets" are not any different than other new agent projects. New agent projects pop up and die constantly and it's not from a lack of funding.
I think that if there are many players in the space, it's a problem worth working on! Like I said in the post, our main problem is speed and that's what we're trying to fix. It's been a problem, and it still is a problem. We have tried tools like OpenCode, Pi, etc. but for our speed issue, it did not fix it. If we go down dying on this boat, so be it, at least we went down dying on a problem we care about!
