CodeWhale
CodeWhale is an open-source, community-driven agent harness that provides a coding agent directly in the terminal. It integrates the DeepSeek and MiMo language models to deliver AI-assisted coding capabilities from the command line. The project is hosted on GitHub and encourages community contributions and customization. As a terminal-based tool, CodeWhale aims to streamline developer workflows by enabling natural language interaction with code, generating snippets, and assisting with analysis and refactoring without leaving the shell environment.
