Ante - Self-contained offline coding agent in a single binary
Show HN: Ante, a coding agent in a single binary that runs offline
Ante is a coding agent that runs entirely from a single ~15MB Rust binary, with zero runtime dependencies. It works like Claude Code or Codex but without vendor lock-in or model constraints, supporting 12+ providers and fully offline local inference via GGUF models. Ante is optimized for efficiency, using ~7x less memory and ~9x less CPU than Claude Code, and is continuously benchmarked on Terminal-Bench 2.1, achieving 82.7% with DeepSeek V4 Flash. It offers interactive TUI, headless, server, and gateway modes, making it a versatile tool for developers seeking a lightweight, verifiable, and affordable agent for terminal-based coding tasks.
A ghost in your shell. Ante is a self-contained coding agent that lives in your terminal and self-organizes.
