1. Has programming really been "solved"?
In May 2026, at the AI Ascent summit, Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code, shared his working status:
"Since around October and November last year, the model has been able to write 100% of my code. Since 2026, I haven't manually written a single line of code."
This statement has sparked a massive reaction in the developer community, with many people exclaiming: programming issues have really been resolved.
But upon closer reflection, there's one issue that was overlooked: he's using Claude Pro, which costs $25 a month, and requires a VPN.
For domestic developers, this isn’t a "solution," it’s a "threshold."
The real "solution" shouldn’t just be that "AI can write code," but rather that "everyone can use AI to write code."
Two, The real landscape of AI programming in 2026
First, let’s check the current market landscape.
According to the latest comparative review article, by 2026, AI programming tools have formed a "tripod":
A headline from a comparative review says it clearly: Claude Code is the "strongest king - but also the most costly."
These three tools are powerful, but they all have one thing in common: expensive + require a VPN.
For domestic developers, this isn’t "the AI programming era has arrived," it’s "the AI programming era has arrived for others."
Three, The true value of domestic alternatives
Many people say domestic tools are "cheap alternatives" - "they work, but they're not as strong as the originals."
But this logic overlooks one thing: the threshold itself is a limitation of capability.
No matter how powerful a tool is, if you can’t use it, it’s zero for you.
The "dimensionality reduction" of free APIs
By 2026, the free usage limits of domestic large models have reached a "ridiculous" level:
This isn’t a "cheap alternative," it’s "dimensionality reduction."
Zhiyu’s GLM-4.7-Flash, completely free, with 200K context and programming ability SWE-Bench 59.2%, you don’t need to spend a penny to get programming capabilities close to Claude Sonnet.
This is what "truly solving programming problems" looks like - not just that AI can write code, but that everyone can use AI to write code.
Four, oh-my-coder: making "AI programming" truly widespread
That’s the original intention behind oh-my-coder.
Not to create a "domestic version of Claude Code," but to ensure every domestic developer can use AI programming with zero barriers.
What can it do?
31 professional Agents: Architect, CodeWriter, Reviewer, Tester, Debugger… more than Claude Code
6 production models + Ollama: GLM-4.7-Flash (completely free), DeepSeek-V4, Kimi, Doubao, Baichuan…
Plug and play: install with a single command and start by configuring a free API Key
No VPN required: all models connect directly domestically
Local execution: code is not uploaded, data is secure
Compared to Claude Code
Five, Real scenarios: from "saying a sentence" to "task completion"
Let’s talk about a real scenario.
Imagine: you need to refactor an old project’s user module and add third-party login.
Using Claude Code:
Open Claude Pro subscription ($25/month)
Configure proxy for VPN
Open the terminal and say: "Help me refactor the user module and add third-party login"
Wait for completion
Using oh-my-coder:
pip install oh-my-coder
Configure GLM API Key (free)
Open the terminal and say: omc run "Help me refactor the user module and add third-party login"
Wait for completion
The effect is the same, cost is zero.
This is what we mean by "truly solving programming problems" - not just that AI can write code, but that everyone can use AI to write code.
Six, Conclusion: The day programming problems are truly resolved
The founder of Claude Code says "programming problems have been solved," referring to the technical level - AI can now write code.
But there’s one more level that hasn’t been solved: the popularization level.
The real "solution" is:
No monthly subscription fees required
No VPN required
No proxy configuration needed
No worries about data being uploaded overseas
It’s every domestic developer, opening the terminal, saying a sentence, and having AI help them write code.
oh-my-coder is making that day come.
