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.

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.

#63Linking 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.

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.

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.

#70I 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.
