Ante, a coding agent in a single binary that runs offline

SMRTR summary

Ante is a self-contained, ~15MB Rust-based coding agent that runs entirely in your terminal with no external dependencies. It matches Claude Code and Codex functionality while using 7× less memory and 9× less CPU, supports 12+ AI providers, and runs fully offline via a built-in llama.cpp engine. Built for massive multi-agent scale, it targets a future where thousands of lightweight agents self-organize.
