Ante

Ante is a self-contained agent runtime built from first principles in pure Rust. It's designed for cellular-native agents—tiny, expendable, and massively replicated—that self-organize and self-heal. With a single ~15 MB binary and zero runtime dependencies, Ante runs entirely offline with local models via llama.cpp, or connects to any major API provider without vendor lock-in. It's lightweight, reliable, and engineered for minimal cognitive load, making it ideal for orchestrating thousands of agents at scale.
