Ante is a self-contained terminal coding agent and agent harness developed by Antigma Labs. It is distributed as a single Rust executable with no runtime dependencies and is designed to work with provider APIs, subscriptions, or local GGUF models.

Overview

Its core embeds Grep and git operations in one process and uses a managed version of llama.cpp for local inference. In offline mode, it runs the coding-agent loop entirely on the user's machine without an API key, account, or internet connection; settings profiles can define the agent and its system prompt. The project also supports multiple providers, multi-agent orchestration, MCP skills, and memory.

Ante is in beta preview, with breaking changes and incomplete functionality expected. The repository states that macOS and Linux are supported and recommends WSL for Windows.
