jcode Adds 2,773 Stars in a Week With Hard Numbers — 260MB RAM at 10 Agent Sessions vs 833–3,237MB, and 14ms Time-to-First-Frame

1jehuang/jcode reached 11,328 stars (+2,773 this week) as a Rust terminal agent harness at v0.9.1888-dev with 6,010 commits, MIT-licensed. Its README publishes head-to-head resource numbers rivals do not: 27.8MB RAM at one session and 260.8MB at ten sessions versus 833–3,237MB for competing harnesses, and 14.0ms time-to-first-frame versus 383–3,437ms. It embeds every conversation turn as a semantic vector so recall happens via cosine similarity instead of token-heavy memory tool calls, and supports swarm mode (multiple agents in one repo with conflict resolution) plus a self-modification mode where the agent edits and reloads its own source.
