Show HN: An Open Source Codex App that works across provider

bb is an open-source agentic development environment (ADE) that works across multiple AI coding providers like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. Unlike many terminal-based tools, it offers a polished interface where coding agents can spawn new threads, read each other's output, and modify the UI. It is local-first, scriptable via external agents or cron jobs, and designed to be used by itself.

Background

- **Codex** (by OpenAI) is a popular commercial desktop app that lets developers chat with an AI coding agent inside a purpose-built editor. It's polished but closed-source and tied to OpenAI's models. - **Claude Code** (by Anthropic), **Cursor**, **Pi**, and **OpenCode** are other AI coding tools — each usually locked to one provider or backend. - **Agentic Development Environment (ADE)** is the emerging category of tools that go beyond simple chat: they give the AI agent the ability to read/write files, run commands, and manage multi-step workflows autonomously. - The author's complaint: most open-source ADEs are "terminal wrappers" — they just pipe text in and out of a terminal, without a real GUI or the ability for the agent to manipulate the UI itself. - **Local-first** means data and processing stay on your machine, not sent to a cloud service (privacy/control advantage).

Max Weinbach says he had early access to OpenAI's new model GPT-5.6 Sol, calling it his favorite model by far. He highlights that it never gives up and will keep reasoning until it's done. OpenAI announced that GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna, will launch publicly on Thursday, with preview access expanding globally now.

The US government ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for all customers, citing a potential jailbreak technique that involved asking the model to review a codebase for vulnerabilities—a capability Anthropic says is available in other public models. Access was abruptly cut off on June 12.

Andrej Karpathy announces the release of Claude Fable 5, the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. He calls it a major step forward, particularly for long problem-solving sessions on difficult tasks, and describes it as state-of-the-art on nearly all benchmarks with exceptional performance in software engineering, research, and vision.

Roman Storm warns that the legal theory in his case could set a precedent making open-source developers liable for how others use their code, potentially criminalizing the mere publication of privacy, messaging, or crypto tools. He notes that developer Michael Lewellen cannot publish lawful code due to prosecution fears, and argues this chilling effect extends beyond any single case.
‘Why Is Meta Destroying Its Engineering Organization?’

Meta's engineering culture is deteriorating under Mark Zuckerberg and Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, who have introduced keyboard tracking, reassignments to data labeling, and AI-centric performance metrics. Critics argue this incentivizes performative AI use, drives away experienced engineers, and contributed to a major Instagram hijacking incident caused by AI-written and AI-reviewed code.
