Context team launched sgrep, a fast, fully local ripgrep extension built to make agents cheaper and more accurate.
- On SWE-bench Verified, it cut LLM API cost by 21.3% versus ripgrep, solving 70/100 attempts versus 68
- Much higher precision than ripgrep, faster than popular index-based methods without building an index upfront
- Written in Rust, runs fully locally
- The reposter notes such universal wins for every coding agent are surprisingly still on the table — "we're wasting so many tokens"
