Anyone else think Claude Code and Codex are too slow? We hate it

A new coding agent called Bullet, built by an unnamed company, claims to be faster than Claude Code and Codex by routing straightforward work to fast models, escalating only when complex tasks demand it, and running independent tool calls in parallel. The founders say they created Bullet as a passion project after burning hours waiting on agent runs with Claude Code. Bullet is available in private beta with free access.

FAST STRAIGHTFORWARD DEEP COMPLEX REASON HARDEST Right model. Right moment. Route straightforward work to fast models. Escalate only when the mission demands it. A REALLY FAST CODING AGENT Bullet routes, searches, and executes with one purpose: keeping up with you. THE PROBLEM / LATENCY We were burning hours waiting on agent runs. Not because the models were incapable. The machinery around them was simply heavier than it needed to be. THE BULLET SYSTEM Same model → tools → results pattern. A tighter loop around it. Route straightforward work to fast models. Escalate only when the mission demands it. auth middleware src/router.ts src/auth.ts Targeted search and file reads find relevant code without embedding the whole repo. Independent tool calls execute in parallel. Duplicate calls and stuck loops are intercepted before they waste another second. FIELD TEST / 001 Real prompt. Real repository. No cinematic shortcuts. FOUNDERS' NOTE At our company, we were burning hours waiting on agent runs. We were building with Claude Code every day, watching capable models move through needlessly slow machinery. So Bullet began as a passion project: route simple work faster, read only what matters, run independent tools together, and stop loops before they spiral. We use it internally now. It saved us a headache. We thought it might save you one too. DON'T LET YOUR CODE HOLD YOU HOSTAGE. PRIVATE BETA / FREE ACCESS Free to use. No subscriptions. Just a faster way to ship.
