1 points · Open discussionI built a library that follows Cloudfare's CodeMode implentation

I’ve been testing a simple idea inspired by Apple/Cloudflare/Anthropic:
LLMs are far better at writing a small program than coordinating multiple tool calls.
So instead of giving the model 10+ tools, I exposed one: a TypeScript sandbox with access to the same interfaces.
The model writes a script → it runs once → done.
What changed
- +68% reduction in token use
- No multi-step drift or retries
- Local models (Llama 3.1 8B / Phi-3) became much more reliable

Curious whether others have seen the same thing: Is code execution a better abstraction for agents than tool calls?
