Ante 0.2 coding agent enables fully offline LLM management

Ante 0.2 is a new ~15MB coding agent designed for offline use, managing local large language models via llama.cpp. It automatically installs and verifies compatible builds of llama.cpp for various hardware, detects existing GGUF models on disk, and estimates memory requirements before loading. The agent allows users to switch between local and hosted models seamlessly and provides performance benchmarks for local models, acknowledging the gap compared to frontier models. AI

IMPACT Enables users to run coding agents locally and offline, offering flexibility and privacy for LLM operations.
