Projects / SECTOR 03 — OPEN SOURCE

CodeWhale

An open source coding agent for your terminal — bring your own model. Give it a provider, a model and a task. It reads your code, edits files, runs commands and checks its own work. Written in Rust, MIT licensed.

What it is

CodeWhale started as a native experience for DeepSeek and grew into a community-driven project: one coding harness that fits an international community and supports as many models and providers as possible — open models first, hosted or local, none privileged over the rest.

What makes it different

You pick the model for each role, and they do not have to match. A fleet pins a provider, a model and a reasoning tier per role — so a cheap fast model can direct an expensive reasoning one. Work interactively in the TUI, or run codewhale exec in scripts and CI. Switch models mid-task with /model.

Why it matters for ABP Consulting

  • Open source is the most honest proof of engineering quality
  • Deep, daily experience with AI-assisted delivery — dogfooding what we sell
  • Real-world evidence of the AI-as-assistant philosophy: models serve roles, humans keep judgment
  • Contribution to a growing international community
