Features

Agentic coding CLI that runs frontier open-weight models behind an approval gate on every tool call.
Dropstone exposes the same approval-gated CLI across three model tiers, refreshed monthly as the open-weight leaderboard moves.
Dropstone Fast is a low-latency model for inline completion and short edits.
Dropstone Pro is the default coding model, included on every plan, built on last cycle's Heavy tier.
Dropstone Heavy is a long-horizon model for repository-scale work and agent swarms.

Integrations

Dropstone CLI integrates with open-weight AI models hosted in the US with zero-retention guarantees.

Platforms & data export

US-hosted inference for all Dropstone model tiers.
