<p><code>Note: Since everything is moving so fast, I wanted a create a knowledge framework about AI coding models and the associated agent, IDE, and software tooling ecosystem used for AI-assisted coding and/or vibe coding. <br /><br />

This page continues to evolve as a market view of what is being mentioned and is an obvious ongoing work in progress.</code></p>
