A multitasking macOS terminal and agent manager for orchestrating AI coding agents
Run several CLI agents in one project simultaneously, each isolated in its own git worktree and branch so sessions never collide.
Anoint an orchestrator that genuinely monitors workers and reads their terminals, or convene a roundtable of role-played agents in a shared chat via crystl quest.
Turns, tool calls, results and tables are captured as agent-readable metadata and rendered fast on the GPU with Metal.
Approval requests, questions and alerts appear as color-coded glass cards, while a panel tracks token burn and estimates turns left.
High-efficiency open-weight and hosted reasoning AI powered by DeepSeek-V4 and R1 at ultra-low token costs.
Leverages a sparse Mixture-of-Experts architecture (49B active parameters out of 1.6T on V4-Pro) to process up to 1 million tokens with minimal latency and memory overhead.
Pioneered by DeepSeek-R1 and integrated into V3.2 and V4 thinking modes, exposing step-by-step self-verification for complex math, logic, and code debugging.
Drops input token costs to $0.003/1M on Flash and $0.022/1M on V4-Pro for cache hits, with 50% lower rates during off-peak UTC hours.
Provides free access at chat.deepseek.com and on iOS/Android with document uploads, reasoning mode, and web search without paywalling core models.
Provides stronger multi-modal reasoning and agentic tools, but lacks DeepSeek's ultra-low-cost API pricing.
