Details

A terminal coding agent based on DeepSeek V4 has been released. It handles file editing, shell execution, Git management, web search, and sub-agent orchestration in a keyboard-centric TUI.

  • With --model auto, it automatically selects deepseek-v4-pro/flash and thinking level (off/high/max) for every turn.
  • It supports a 1M token context window, streaming reasoning, and prefix-cache-aware real-time cost tracking.
  • It offers three operating modes—Plan / Agent / YOLO—and can be extended with external tool servers via MCP.
  • After edits, it automatically reflects LSP inline diagnostics from rust-analyzer, pyright, gopls, clangd, and others.
  • It also includes session save/restore, workspace rollback (side-git snapshots), a durable task queue, an HTTP/SSE headless server, and --acp integration for Zed.
  • It includes a Skills system installable from GitHub, and support for external providers such as NVIDIA NIM, Fireworks, OpenAI-compatible, SGLang, vLLM, and Ollama.
  • Installation paths range across npm, Cargo, Homebrew, Docker, Scoop, and building from source, with a Linux ARM64 prebuilt binary also provided.
