Codebuff Launch Week, Day 5 (finale!): Custom model for picking relevant files 🔥
We saved the best for last. Codebuff is now better at the most important codegen subproblem!
Hello and welcome to the last day of Launch Week! We have one of our biggest upgrades in store.
I’m excited announce our custom model for file-picking, which significantly improves on our previous solution!
When you enter a prompt into Codebuff, it searches through your entire codebase to pick about a dozen files relevant to your prompt in the first 2 seconds.
The new model we are shipping to do this task does twice as well at matching our golden dataset as before! That means we’re a big step closer to picking the ideal set of files right off the bat!
This cements Codebuff’s speed advantage as well as its quality advantage.
It’s a superpower to start off with all the relevant context, because it means the LLM can make an informed decision about how to act on your prompt. Context is everything!
We have even more ideas to improve on this aspect of Codebuff. The product will only get better from here.
That concludes our first-ever Codebuff Launch Week! We showed off an awesome set of improvements, including:
Simple usage-based pricing
--max mode with a hybrid Gemini / Sonnet agent — best coding agent ever?
--lite mode using Gemini 2.5 Flash Thinking
The “init” command to set up Codebuff and manage development processes
A custom model for file-picking
I’m super proud of our team of 3-and-a-contractor. We’ve all been working night and day to push forward the state of the art for coding agents.
We’ll have to do this again! The launch week format is a great way to share our progress (while making a lot of noise!).
It’s going to be hard to stop Codebuff domination now!
Cheers,
James
whooot first launch week done! 🚀
