Bullet (YC S26) launches a coding agent built for low latency

Launch HN: Bullet (YC S26) – A Faster Coding Agent

Bullet, a YC S26 project, ships a local coding agent that prioritizes speed. It routes simple tasks to fast models and escalates only complex ones, searches by reading relevant files instead of embedding the whole repo, and runs independent tool calls in parallel. It scores 95.8% on SWE-bench Verified. A free CLI is available for macOS and Linux with no API key required. The post does not disclose which base models it uses or future pricing.

Why it matters: YC S26 launch with a strong SWE-bench score and concrete technical claims. But the post is a product landing page — no user stories, benchmarks against peers, or team background — so it stays at the lower end of featured.
