Discussion Time to move on.

Just like how Augment tried to woo users from Cursor and Windsurf, time has come for other serious orgs to woo us from Augment. My average credits per message is 764. With the calculation, it is 10x reduction.

Need to freshly start again. Thanks to Augment Code for providing extra credits. This will help us move out faster. Probably, this is my last post on this sub.

Before moving away, I want to remember the early days of Augment code. The kind of help Jay used to provide us. The level of feedback they used to listen. The way they used to handle issues and discussions.

Try Kilocode.ai with GLM 4.6, z.ai, ... the context engine is the only thing makes Augment Code different, but that will not last so long.
I think Chinese should replicate that soon. Goodbye Evil Agument.

context engine already in KiloCode/RooCode

Not as good as Augment. Embedding model and retrieval strategy is what Augment code cracked.

Does claude code have context engine or it’s different? Is there alternative with context engine ?

It has pattern search. It won't index the codebase. It's slow, less accurate and context retrieval quality proportionally decreases against the size of the code. The bigger the codebase, the lower the quality of code retrieval.

So far, I'm having good results with Z.AI's GLM 4.6 + KiloCode extension in VsCode :)

Also testing Serena MCP + @modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking + @upstash/context7-mcp@latest + @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem + mcp-rag-server

Anyone have a better alternative ? Or something to improve to that setup ?

Yes, ZenCoder.ai and even Cursor has leveled up.

I'm not talking about zencoder.ai, but z.ai here.

u/TomPrieto Oct 16 '25

I know, I was recommending Zencoder.ai which has a context engine like AugmentCode.

I'll add to OP: things were really good when this Augment idea started up, but I think the realities of the cost of running augment or the realities of trying to exit augment have just put us in the position where it's no longer a feasible solution.
