ante ante
Ante is a self-contained, high-performance coding agent designed to run in your terminal. It operates as a tiny Rust binary that manages agent lifecycles, local inference, and multi-agent orchestration with zero runtime dependencies.
Recent releases have introduced expanded reasoning effort support for Qwen and Claude models, improved compaction logic for context management, and enhanced MCP server discovery.
As of
- Native local inference via managed llama.cpp engine
- Provider-agnostic with support for 12+ APIs and local GGUF models
- Multi-agent orchestration and persistent session memory
- Headless and server modes for CI and editor integration
- Deeply optimized for low memory and CPU overhead
Developers needing a lightweight, offline-capable coding agent, or those running multiple agents in parallel on resource-constrained environments.
Teams requiring a stable 1.0 contract, native Windows support (WSL required), or environments where opt-out telemetry and closed-source core binaries are restricted.
Free for commercial use during the alpha preview under Binary Preview Terms; no paid tiers currently exist.
