Hi HN, I'm Mohan from Antigma Labs. Ante is a coding agent that ships as one self-contained ~15MB binary: the TUI, an embedded ripgrep, local PDF/OCR, and a natively managed llama.cpp engine are all inside. No runtime dependencies, no node_modules, no account. - Ante installs a pinned, checksum-verified official llama.cpp build matched to your machine (Metal on Apple silicon; CUDA, Vulkan, or CPU on Linux) and handle…

Opt-out telemetry is a hard no for me, sorry.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If figma draws you a gradient, are you really a designer?

Probably yes; If Figma is deciding for you where the gradient goes, what colors it is, and what its purpose in the design is, then no.

it kinda is by showing you tools in a certain order and what defaults and so on

Linking to a github repo for a binary release (no source code related to the agent that I could see) is a bit iffy IMO. You should clarify your intentions or link to something else. Might confuse folks.

I was kind of excited for this until the binary blob. You want me to give your agent binary god access to my computer, and I am not even permitted to see the source code or use my own supply chain security hardened rust compiler stack? What a joke. Hard pass.

Here you say: > Ante installs a pinned, checksum-verified official llama.cpp But in README: > Ante ships its own inference engine May I suggest you use the first phrasing in both places. I took it as Ante devs had written their own engine and I doubt I'm the only one.

there is one toy version https://github.com/AntigmaLabs/nanochat-rs README updated.

> We care about the harness, not the model or the prompts.

I wonder if this is a viable approach; after all frontier model providers are betting on the opposite.

Then again, they bundle their harness and offer subsidiary pricing - so maybe they themselves aren’t sure if models are as important.
