Factory has introduced Droid 1.0, a coding agent harness designed to be model-independent. It makes programmatic tool calling the default mode, allowing the same agent framework to work across different underlying models.
The harness is built on script mode, which separates the agent's decision logic from the model's output. This matters because it lets teams evaluate and swap models without rewriting the agent's tool-use scaffolding.
In Factory's own Terminal-Bench 4 runs, Droid 1.0 achieved 65.2% with Claude Opus 5.5, at a cost of $4.73 per passed task. That combination of accuracy and cost efficiency could make it a practical option for teams running large numbers of coding tasks.
