- Formerly DeepSeek TUI, renamed as the project moved beyond a single-model identity into a vendor-agnostic multi-provider runtime; Plan/Act/Operate mode split with Ask/Auto-Review/Full-Access permission tiers, OS-kernel sandboxing (Seatbelt on macOS, bubblewrap on Linux), and 'fleet' parallel workers that record every step to an append-only ledger for `fleet resume`
- note
- Repo created 2026-01-19; surfaced via GitHub-trending/dev-digest roundups; ~40k GitHub stars; supports DeepSeek, Claude, GPT, Kimi, GLM and 30+ providers plus self-hosted vLLM/SGLang/Ollama with no key; actively released (latest tag v0.9.1, 2026-07-24)
