I built a coding agent that gets 87% on benchmarks with a 4B parameter model, here's how

In three linesSmallCode, a local coding agent, achieves 87% on benchmarks with Gemma 4B using compound tools, iterative improvement loops, and optimized context management. Unlike existing agents (OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Code) requiring large models, SmallCode is designed for small local models with optional escalation to Claude/OpenAI.
