An agent harness written in rust, 100 % self-contained, and topped terminal bench

Been using ante for two weeks now, today I just found out that the name came from "**An**other **Te**rminal agent". To clarify first, I'm not affiliated with them in any way, though I might be their #1 invested user at this point. I switched from opencode to ante, and it's becoming better every single day. Even if opencode 2.0 releases next week, I probably won't look back. So, why another terminal agent? Their FAQ section covers this question well, but the main idea basically comes down to two points, which are already in the title: 1. It's super lightweight. This thing probably runs on a potato and it'd still be fast. 2. The devs are obsessed with being self-contained. There's no risk of being exposed to supply chain attack, cause there is (almost) no dependency. Though it also means that you're betting it all on the dev, so choose your pill. The thing I like the most about ante, however, is that the devs works very hard, listen closely to user feedback, and iterate on it. An issue created usually receives reply within the same day, and gets fixed few hours later. Mind you that this is a really small team, and they have tons of work to do, given ante is still in its preview stage. Tbh this post probably is against their interest. The code is not open-sourced yet exactly because they don't want too much slop PRs distracting them, and gaining popularity will undoubtedly bring some. But I also can't help but hope them to success, and without more community engagement, there would be much less chance that they'll make it. If you are looking for a general purpose agent harness that's has a slightly different vision and taste on what's important for a harness, maybe give ante a try. Btw, ante topped terminal bench 2.0 back in January, and is still 3rd place till this day if only counting verified runs. That's where I found it.
