Launch YC: WarpGrep v2: Code Search Subagent -> #1 on SWE-Bench Pro

"Code search limits coding capabilities. Moving it out to a specialized model wins."

TLDR - WarpGrep v2 raises SWE-Bench Pro scores (+2.1 Opus, +3.7 MiniMax) while using ~17% fewer input tokens, 13% fewer turns, running 12% faster, and costing 15.6% less. The median WarpGrep codebase search takes 5s end to end compared to 75s for the Claude Code Explore subagent.
On normal usage on production repos these numbers improve across the board ~40% faster.

Founded by Tejas Bhakta

WarpGrep v2 is a fast code search subagent that works via parallel tool calls. Runs up to 36 grep/read tool calls in under 5s.
