Show HN: Try Benzi – A coding harness/agent beating Claude Code itself on SonnetHi y'all. Been working on something that should've been made a long time ago imo. It compiles codebases into O(1) hashmaps that the agent queries to discover the structure of your code/answer questions/write code.It also does complete static analysis checks on any writes the agent makes.Don't take my word for it though. Here are the benchmarks: https://benzi.fly.dev/benchmark. on 2/20 tests, Claude Code (mostly Sonnet on one task) regressed or timed out. Benzi didn't because of course, it has a map it can query and not get lost in the sauce. On the other 18 it is cheaper, faster, or often both.Would love to get some early adoption and criticism!(Only available on Windows for now. soz. and also keep an eye on the benchmarking page; I think I can push it far more -- no promises, still work in progress. Haven't thoroughly tested greenfielding experience either.)(another note: VS Code extension/website is running DeepSeek V4 flash. not Sonnet. Everything mostly built with CC Sonnet tho )
Why can AI generate Super Mario but not a wedge ramp for my robot vacuum?I've been puzzled by something: AI generation can produce an elaborate figurine, a cartoon character, even a convincing Super Mario — yet it can't reliably make a simple wedge ramp so my robot vacuum can climb a step. For context: I bought a Bambu P2S but can't model. I tried the "describe it and get a model" AIs — the output is unusable, you can't adjust it, it's never quite what I meant. I tried having an agent write Python to build geometry directly — it tops out at simple primitives. What finally worked: geometric decomposition. I break a complex part into ordered, grouped steps, describe each as a small spec, and let an agent execute them in Blender (via blender-mcp). That process turned out to abstract into a small engine — the key insight being it converts the 3D spatial reasoning LLMs are bad at, into the structured code they're good at. I wrote it up here: https://github.com/zhuchaokn/spec-3d-model My questions: - Why is "functional part" generation so much weaker than "figuri
