Dropstone 1.5, a terminal-based AI coding agent, has been released. This service adopts a method of testing the best-performing AI models each month and automatically updating its runtime accordingly.
In this update, it runs on DeepSeek V4 Flash, V4 Pro, and Moonshot Kimi K2.6 models, and all data is processed on servers within the US and not stored, emphasizing security.
Key features are as follows:
- Cost efficiency: For $15 per month, it provides about 450 deep coding sessions per week. This is cheaper than Claude Code Pro ($20) while guaranteeing about twice the usage.
