So this is a competitor to something like OpenCode or Pi? I suspect for most developers, they are using Claude Code or Codex CLI mainly just so they don't have to pay-per-token and can use the subscription products - which I assume can't be done with Warp Agent?

The codex and many other subscriptions can be used with other harnesses like OpenCode and pi. It's officially supported most of the time. Using my Codex and MiniMax sub just fine in pi.

I used to really like Warp, back when it was just a terminal. Then as they went more and more in on AI the actual terminal features became more and more buggy and I ended up having to go back to WezTerm.

Why is every company seemingly trying to re-implement agents themselves rather than making their product work with the existing ones?

You can't raise a $50 million series b on making a nice terminal. we already have lots of nice terminals for free

I suspect most developers don’t care too much about cost because they’re just using what their company is just paying for whatever enterprise subscription/billing.

We also have a bunch of agents and harnesses for free

I've read the product description and I don't see anything that's truly unique

Another reason why individual developers do not pay for their tools. This is one of the only professions that does this and they always pass the cost to the employer, who will pay for it until they cut costs.

So the open source code on GitHub is the library that agents need to train on, to do all the economically useful work for 1/100th of the cost or close to free.

That is where it is going and the raised money will be going to the agents.
