Guides, comparisons, and analysis to help you build your AI stack.
Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Copilot, Devin and Manus compared by the job they do — with live pricing and our own verification record for each, plus where agents still fail.
Which generative media tools are worth paying for — image, voice, music and video — with live pricing, our own verification record for each, and an honest note on which have no free tier.
Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Notion compared by the job you need done — with live pricing and our own verification record for each, and an honest note on why we don't publish a model-version leaderboard.
Three complete AI stacks with live pricing and our own re-verification record for every tool — what to buy, what to skip, and the upgrade path for each role.
How many AI tools are there, how much do they cost, and which models power them? Computed from the 8,187 AI tools in our catalogue, re-verified continuously — pricing, free tiers, APIs, and where the market actually concentrates.
A compiled leaderboard of the top AI coding assistants in 2026 — SWE-bench Verified, HumanEval and Aider polyglot, from publicly reported results, plus our own maintenance-verification record for each tool.
Not every coding agent is built for notebooks, pandas, and ML experiments. A benchmarked breakdown of the tools that actually work for data scientists — and the ones that waste your time.
A transparent cost breakdown of Cursor, Claude Code, Cline, Aider, and GitHub Copilot — token math from real developer workloads, not marketing pages.
A working engineer's breakdown of the four LLM orchestration frameworks people actually ship with in 2026 — stateful graphs, multi-agent crews, mental models, and when to pick each.
A practical guide to the four open-source coding agents worth self-hosting in 2026 — how each one actually behaves, local-model setup, costs, and the stack we'd ship with.
