Hi HN! We’re Adi and Alex, founders of Bullet, a faster coding agent.

Bullet started in a senior year dorm room at Yale. We were fresh out of working at AppLovin and Citadel, so naturally, we just knew we were going to be startup gods. We were going to use our skills optimizing stock pricing calculation speeds and agent document context to take over the world.

Lo-and-behold, that year, Bullet was an AI hedge fund, a browser-use agent, synthetic financial data (oof), a mobile IDE, and a bunch of other things. We wanted to build something people wanted, but it seemed like everything we built was just terrible, useless, or both.

So, we decided to do something completely different, something completely out of the blue, something that no one had ever done before. Solve a problem we actually had.

Over the course of six pivots, we suffered. Throughout all of our adventures, one final boss kept getting in our way. Claude Code and his little brother Codex. We were spending hours waiting for coding agents like Claude Code and Codex, and got so frustrated to the point that I downloaded the Claude Code whip. We had spent months of time waiting for six codebases-worth of useless coding agent work.

Lightbulb moment. There’s nothing more noble than destroying the institutions! Let’s take on Claude Code and Codex, we can do it! Piece of cake!

And so, Bullet started off as a side project. We used the Claude Code to improve the Claude Code:

1. Model routing. Do you regret giving a task to Fable when it could have literally been done by Sonnet?

2. Targeted code + context search. We think embedding the whole repo is dumb. We also think sticking the whole context (or compressed context) in chat is dumb. So we do faster and better greps over both.

3. Aggressive context hygiene. Tool output is bounded, stale screenshots disappear, we don’t re-read files…the garbage never floods the model.

4. Efficient turns. Batch independent investigation, make one surgical edit, then perform one focused verification. Internal measurement showed 16% fewer round trips and 27% lower cost.

5. The Flash. We prayed to Barry Allen for speed.

And thank the Flash, he gave us speed! On SWE-bench Verified, Bullet resolved 479/500 (95.8%) in one attempt, averaging 119s per task, 35–67% faster than mini-SWE-agent + Fable/Sol depending on task. Full results and methodology here (https://www.codewithbullet.com/blog/benchmark-results.html)

Eventually we started using it every day and never went back.

Listed above were just some of the things about Claude Code that frustrated us the most, but we are constantly optimizing every day (look at that, maybe we did learn something from our jobs).

So do you suffer? We are here for you. We understand.

Here’s the video demo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWVmG5fRKgE)

Seriously speaking though, we hope that you guys try out Bullet if you are suffering with speed as much as we were, and we hope it brings you joy, rainbows, and faster responses. And if it’s terrible, let us know it’s terrible (we’re masochists btw)! We'll be in the comments all day, you can also contact us at bullet@davidhf.com.

Thanks guys for listening to the larp :) try out codewithbullet.com. Again, that’s codewithbullet.com. Again, that’s codewi…

P.S: we hid a code on the website, see if you can unlock the secret page at the footer, all built with Bullet

Mail received:

We are writing to inform you of an upcoming billing change to Google AI Studio and the Gemini API.

We require developers to switch your Gemini API billing from Postpay to Prepay by September 14, 2026. This is part of our ongoing effort to improve our platform to give developers more control over API consumption and costs.

This change applies exclusively to your Gemini API usage in AI Studio. All other GCP services on your account will remain on Postpay. What you need to know

Key changes: Starting September 14, 2026, to use paid features in the Gemini API you will be required to change the billing plan associated with your Google AI Studio projects to Prepay. Learn more about the Prepay billing plan here.

Potential impact: If you do not transition to Prepay and purchase credits before September 14, 2026, your service will be interrupted. What you need to do

Action required:

If you use, or plan to use, paid features in the Gemini API: Switch to Prepay: Transition to Prepay on the AI Studio billing page and purchase credits to continue using paid Gemini API features Recommendations: Switch before the September 14, 2026 migration date to avoid service interruptions Configure auto-reload to automatically top up your Prepay balance and prevent future service interruptions View your current billing plan, manage payment methods, and switch to Prepay on the AI Studio billing page No action is required if you do not currently use paid features in the Gemini API

I mean like US sanctions on China, which prohibits NVIDIA chips from being sold to them, China is compelled to become independent of them. Consequently, China can now manufacture and sell affordable alternatives, flood open source cheaper AI models either with or without distillation.
