OpenDev
A terminal-native coding agent, written in Rust, that routes execution, reasoning, context-compaction, self-critique and vision workflows to independently configured models rather than one single model.
OpenDev is a terminal-native coding agent built as a compound system of specialized subagents rather than a single model handling every step. Five workflow slots, Normal execution, Thinking (reasoning), Compact (context summarization), Self-Critique (output verification) and VLM (vision), each bind to any model a user configures, so, for example, one model can handle execution while a different, lighter model handles context compaction.
Work is organized into concurrent sessions made up of these specialized subagents, and the project reports a startup time of 4.3 milliseconds and about 9.4 MB of peak memory on Apple Silicon, measured against comparable coding agents. It is distributed as an 18 MB single binary; a public website and documentation were not yet available at the time of writing.
