jedisct1··on Figma restricts MCP access to whitelisted clients, excluding Pi
Moonshot AI are also whitelisting user-agents: https://swival.dev/pages/providers.html#generic-openai-compa...

Weird.

jedisct1··on You said no MCP
Swival.dev has a tool to run Python code, and it can expose the MCP tools as Python functions.

This saves a couple prompts and tokens, but only in very specific cases, only with MCP servers that don't already support code mode, and only with large models.

In practice, I've not found that to make a real difference.

Plus, it's likely that more and more MCP servers are going to use code mode natively anyway.

jedisct1··on Cf: The Agentic CLI for the Cloudflare API
Typescript is perfect for that kind of application. Plus, the same code runs everywhere, no need to ship native binaries for every OS and CPU.
jedisct1··on The state of SIMD in Rust in 2026
As someone who had pretty much given up on Rust after being very disappointed with its SIMD support, and had stopped following developments in that area, I was genuinely surprised to see someone announce this today:

https://val.markovic.io/articles/philbin-the-safest-and-fast...

Performance is competitive with Zig, without using the "unsafe" keyword or nightly Rust.

Nice.

Happy with swival.dev ...
jedisct1··on Inside ZCode: Silently uploading your Git history to the cloud
You know, swival.dev is fully opensource, doesn't hide anything, fully supports GLM, has excellent context management to keep token usage low, and doesn't send anything you didn't ask to the cloud.

jedisct1··on Vomit: Clean up Claude 5's token output with a separate LLM
I’ve given up trying to read PR descriptions and comments blindly copied from Claude vomit. It’s insulting, and it gives me a headache.
jedisct1··on Vomit: Clean up Claude 5's token output with a separate LLM
Whenever I use Claude models, I do something similar, telling it to never write documentation directly, but asking "uvx swival -- --profile qwen" to do it after describing the changes to it.

And I just stopped reading PRs and comments blindly copied from Claude vomit. It's unreadable by a human.

jedisct1··on Kimi K3-256k
This is a fantastic option for swival.dev given its very efficient context management compared to e.g. Claude Code.

jedisct1··on Fable 5 vs. GPT-5.6 Sol on an NP-Hard Problem: Does /goal help?
This is not an issue with Claude, but with Claude Code.

With swival.dev you can use long sessions without ever doing any manual compaction or reset, even with Claude models.

I build a Signal client for Swival: https://github.com/swival/nbclaw

And I use it daily for simple tasks.

jedisct1··on ZCode – Harness for GLM-5.2
GLM-5.2 is a great model!

But it already works really well with existing harnesses, I'm not sure why a dedicated one is needed?

I use it with https://swival.dev and everything works perfectly, no tool calling issues and it works fine with long sessions.
