Show HN: Semble – Code search for agents that uses 98% fewer tokens than grep

🚀 "Semble Revolutionizes Code Search with 98% Fewer Tokens"

Semble is an open-source code search tool that slashes token usage by 98% compared to traditional grep methods, while achieving 99% of the retrieval quality of a large code-trained transformer. This innovative solution combines static Model2Vec embeddings with BM25 and reranks with code-aware signals, enabling fast and accurate searches on large codebases without requiring API keys, GPUs, or external services.
