Factory launches Droid 1.0, a model‑independent coding agent with default programmatic tool calling
Droid 1.0 reduces prompt size, improves Terminal‑Bench 4 scores and cuts cost by up to 24% using a script‑based tool engine.
Factory announced Droid 1.0, the latest update to its coding‑agent harness that works with any supported LLM, including user‑provided API keys.
The update makes programmatic tool calling (PTC) the default mode, letting the model write JavaScript scripts that run hundreds of tool calls inside a sandbox.
The base prompt shrank 37% to 13,055 tokens, tool definitions fell 46%, and latency dropped from 1,839 ms to 488 ms, while session memory growth fell from 350 MB to 20 MB.
Droid 1.0 is available as a macOS/Windows desktop app, a terminal UI, and a Node SDK; paid plans start at $20 per month.

Developers gain faster, cheaper coding assistance that scales across many models without rewriting prompts.
