Ante is a self-contained coding agent that lives in your terminal and self-organizes. One ~15MB Rust binary, zero runtime dependencies, works with 12+ providers or fully offline with local GGUF models. Continuously evaled in public: #1 same-model agent on Terminal-Bench 2.1, every result pinned to a build you can download and audit.

About Ante (by Antigma Labs)
Ante is a terminal-based coding agent from Antigma Labs, built from scratch in native Rust. It installs with a single curl command as one self-contained, checksum-verified binary of roughly 13 to 15 MB, with no runtime dependencies, no account, no configuration file and no Node required. Users pick a model, describe a task, and the agent scaffolds code, runs the test suite and fixes its own mistakes until the tests pass.
Ante works with cloud providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Grok and Open Router using a user's own API key or subscription, and it can switch providers and models mid-session while adjusting effort from faster to smarter. Built-in llama.cpp integration lets models run entirely on the local machine without API keys or an internet connection. Antigma reports lower resource use than Claude Code in its own benchmark of 20 parallel tasks, including 7x less peak memory and 9x less average CPU.
The runtime is designed for lightweight agents that can run in large numbers, and a typed stream interface lets developers build custom interfaces, IDE integrations and team workflows. Antix Console provides account, API key and dashboard access.
