AI Code Editors

Dropstone is an AI coding agent that lives in your terminal.

Every month we test the top AI models and switch Dropstone to whichever one codes best so you don't have to keep migrating. Dropstone 1.5 runs on DeepSeek and Kimi, hosted in the US, with nothing stored on our side.

$15/month gets you about 450 deep coding sessions a week. That's roughly twice what Claude Code Pro gives you, for $5 less.

Dropstone 1.5

Launching today

2× Claude Code Pro's usage at $15/mo

Dropstone 1.5 is our monthly re-baseline release. We test the top AI coding models every month and rebuild the runtime on whichever wins.

This month: DeepSeek V4 Flash, V4 Pro, and Moonshot Kimi K2.6 all hosted in the US, nothing stored on our side.

$15/month gets you about 450 deep coding sessions a week. Roughly twice what Claude Code Pro delivers at $20.

Why we built Dropstone — the AI IDE that remembers

Every AI coding tool today suffers from the same flaw amnesia. It forgets what you ve done, what you re building, and how you think.

Behind the idea: Why we made Dropstone remember what every other AI tool forgets

We built Dropstone because we were tired of starting from zero every time we opened an AI coding tool.

Dropstone learns, remembers, and evolves with your projects building a persistent understanding of your codebase, architecture, and workflow. It s designed to grow with you, not reset after every session.

We ve just launched it on Product Hunt and would love your thoughts on how memory should shape the next generation of developer tools. Your feedback will help us refine what s coming next.

Gemini 3 is here. Here is why we are still building Dropstone (Self-Evolving IDE)

Today, Google dropped Gemini 3 and "Antigravity," and the raw reasoning power is incredible. It s a massive leap for AI.

But it reinforced exactly why we built Dropstone AI.

Dropstone 1.5 is the first release from our new monthly cycle. Every month my team at Blankline tests the strongest open AI coding models, rebuilds the runtime around whichever wins, and ships.

This cycle we focused on two things. Cost, and safety.

On cost. Dropstone Pro and Heavy 1.5 run on trillion-parameter class open-weight models, the same scale that closed labs like Anthropic charge a premium for. We spent the month measuring what each coding session actually costs us, then squeezing it. $15 a month gets you about 450 deep coding sessions a week. Claude Code Pro gives you 150 to 225 for $20. On capability, Dropstone Pro 1.5 trades blows with Claude Opus 4.7. We match or beat it on most other coding work at a fraction of the price.

On safety. We built Dropstone safe enough to use on our own internal codebase first. Every file write, every shell command, every network call asks before it runs. Everything runs on US servers. Nothing is stored anywhere. That same safety boundary ships to every tier, Free, Pro, and Heavy. Using DeepSeek or Kimi through Dropstone is meaningfully safer than reaching for them directly.

Full math, benchmarks, and the honest losses are in our report: https://blankline.org/research/d...

Product is really good, especially the memory feature. I can actually feel it learning over time and that is impressive. However, the UI and UX need a lot of improvement. Task summaries are not very readable and edited files are not viewable, which makes the experience a bit frustrating.

That said, you guys did a great job overall. I would strongly suggest giving it the ARC AGI2 Benchmark test because honestly, from my usage, it is crushing other tools like Cursor and Claude Code. I truly believe it will surpass the existing systems out there.

For reference, I compared Claude 4.5 inside Claude Code with the Claude 4.5 that exists here and this version really outperformed it.

Just focus on building a better UI and UX because trust me, this will absolutely hit.

I’ve been using Dropstone for a while now, and what stands out is how it adapts to the way I write code. With Grok 4, I feel AGI is getting closer, and a tool like this offers a glimpse into what coding might look like in the future.
