About Ante
Ante is a terminal coding agent from Antigma, written from scratch in Rust and distributed as a single self contained binary with no external dependencies. It installs with one command and needs no account, configuration file or Node runtime. A developer picks a model, describes the task in a sentence, and the agent scaffolds, writes and tests code, running the test suite and fixing its own mistakes until it passes.
It is aimed at developers who want a lightweight, provider neutral coding agent and at teams that want to run many agents at once. Users can bring their own API key, subscription or local model, and switch providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Grok and OpenRouter in the middle of a session, while adjusting effort from faster to smarter. Built in llama.cpp integration runs models entirely on the local machine with no API key or internet connection. The runtime is designed so that hundreds of agent replicas can run cheaply and the system recovers when any one fails, and a typed stream interface lets developers build custom interfaces and IDE integrations on top of the agent engine. Antigma publishes a benchmark of 20 parallel tasks in which it reports lower peak memory, CPU and disk use than Claude Code.
Pricing is not published. The agent itself runs with the user's own keys or local models, and an account, API keys and a usage dashboard are managed through the separate Antix Console.
Antigma takes its name from Alan Turing's work against Enigma, and describes Ante as its flagship product within a broader effort to build self organizing agent systems.
