Show HN: Ante Is a 15MB Single-Binary Rust Coding Agent That Runs Fully Offline on Pinned llama.cpp
AntigmaLabs' Ante is a self-contained agent harness — hand-written Rust with heavy parts embedded in one ~15MB binary — that behaves like Claude Code or Codex but is model-agnostic across 12+ providers including Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Grok, and OpenRouter, plus custom providers via config. Its distinguishing claim is genuine offline operation via a pinned, managed llama.cpp and local GGUF files, needing no internet and no API keys. Source is Apache 2.0 with the prebuilt alpha binary under "Binary Preview Terms" permitting commercial use; the repo sits at ~1.1k stars, 27 forks, 336 commits, and drew 139 points and 82 comments.
