Transcript
Ante is a self-contained agent harness that ships as one 15MB Rust binary with embedded grep and git, achieving 82.7% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 across 89 tasks while using seven times less peak memory than Claude Code. It searches files, runs commands, and manages git repos from your terminal, with all code execution sandboxed and container-ready. Alpha preview currently supports macOS and Linux only. You now run a complete agent without complex runtime dependencies.
