-# Letta Code (Research Preview)
+# Letta Code
 
-Letta Code is a self-improving, stateful coding agent that can learn from experience and improve with use. You can use Letta Code as a general purpose **CLI harness** to connect any Letta agent (even non-coding agents!) to your local dev environment.

-Letta Code is fully **open source** and **model agnostic** - supporting Claude Sonnet/Opus, GPT-5, Gemini 3 Pro, GLM-4.6, and more.
+Letta Code is a memory-first coding harness, built on top of the Letta API. Instead of working in independent sessions, you work with a persisted agent that learns over time and is portable across models (Claude Sonnet/Opus, GPT-5, Gemini 3 Pro, GLM-4.6, and more).
 
 **Read more about how to use Letta Code on the [official docs page](https://docs.letta.com/letta-code).**
