About

Ante is a terminal coding agent from Antigma Labs that works like Claude Code or Codex but ships as one compressed Rust binary with zero runtime dependencies, reflecting a design thesis of tiny, verifiable, self-contained agents built for massive scale. The whole agent — system prompt, tools, skills, memory — is declared in a settings file, and --profile swaps behavior per run; four modes cover interactive TUI, headless one-shot, a server daemon, and a Slack/Discord gateway. It runs any model through 17 built-in provider presets or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and goes fully offline with a local GGUF file and no API key. The core harness is developed in a private repo and distributed as a prebuilt binary under Binary Preview Terms, while the SDK, protocol crates, docs, and eval pipeline in the public repo are Apache-2.0; it scores 82.7% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 using open-weight DeepSeek V4 Flash. It targets macOS and Linux developers who want a Claude Code-style workflow without vendor or dependency constraints.
