The author read every October changelog from 12 AI coding agents and graded how local each really is. Highlights: Claude Code (26 releases) now summarizes idle long chats so you don't resend 200K+ tokens; Codex CLI 0.165 ships GPT-6.1 Terra with cross-agent memory import and --oss support for Ollama/LM Studio; Cursor adds iPhone control and an Agent SDK; Copilot CLI's Assisted Permissions graduates; Atomic Agent is local-by-default with llama.cpp bundled and cloud-failover; Kimi Code 2.4 imports Claude Code/Codex sessions; Gemini CLI fixes terminal flicker while Antigravity gains a built-in browser; OpenClaw merged 2,250 PRs from 637 contributors; Amp reuses your Claude plan and ships Android; OpenCode adds plugins and persistent terminals; Hermes Agent installs llama.cpp one-click with no account. Trend: local support is spreading, but the headline tools remain cloud-first.
