Show HN: Ante, a coding agent in a single binary that runs offline
Ante is a new, self-contained Rust-based coding agent designed to run locally without external dependencies or API keys. It aims to provide a high-performance, verifiable alternative to existing cloud-dependent AI coding assistants.
Why it matters
It represents a shift toward local, offline-first AI development, potentially lowering costs and increasing privacy for developers.
Alpha preview : expect breaking changes and incomplete functionality. macOS and Linux only; on Windows we suggest WSL .
A ghost in your shell. Ante is a self-contained coding agent that lives in your terminal and self-organizes. One ~15MB Rust binary from Antigma Labs , zero runtime dependencies, built to get the most out of any model.
It works like Claude Code or Codex, with none of their dependencies or model constraints. It can also be the optimized core for building your own harness and high-performing assistants.
