  1. Sixteen coding agents, and what each one sends home

    two findings here have changed since we tested. Cline's documentation, revised on 7 October, now names an off switch for its command line, telemetryOptOut in its global settings file. We tested version 3.0.64, which had none; the CLI is now at 3.0.73. OpenJarvis merged a change on 14 October that makes its analytics opt-in; the newest desktop release is still the one we tested. We have not retested either tool, so the figures on this page describe the versions named.

  2. Seven local AI tools, and which ones phone home

    OpenJarvis has since merged a change, on 14 October, that makes its analytics opt-in. We tested desktop-v1.0.2 in July, when analytics was on by default, and as of today that is still the newest desktop release on the project's GitHub page. We have not retested the new code, so this section describes the version we tested.

    OpenJarvis has since merged a change, on 14 October, that makes its analytics opt-in. The finding above describes the version we tested in July.
