Whale is a terminal-level AI programming agent optimized specifically for the DeepSeek large model. It supports 1 million-token long context, persistent sessions, MCP tool integration, and dynamic workflow orchestration, aiming to deliver a zero-bloat, pure local-speed development experience. The project is maintained by the usewhale team and hosted open-source on GitHub.
Section 02
With the application of LLMs in software development, developers' demand for AI programming assistants has shifted from code completion to complex agent-based workflows. Existing tools suffer from bloat or lack of targeted optimization, leading to the emergence of Whale. Its core philosophy is "DeepSeek-native", deeply optimized for DeepSeek's 1 million-token long context, tool calling capabilities, and cost-effectiveness, making full use of prompt caching mechanisms to reduce usage costs.
Section 03
Optimized for DeepSeek's 1 million-token context window, it can load entire codebases or complex specifications, suitable for scenarios like large project architecture understanding and cross-file refactoring.
Supports session saving and recovery; reopening after days still retains conversation context, file states, and task progress. It also allows searching and branch switching, enabling management of AI workflows like Git manages code.
whale ask command;Fully supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling seamless integration with over 1000 community servers covering capabilities like database queries and API calls, with built-in basic tools such as file reading/writing and command execution.
The community contributes skills like code review and Git management; developers can customize skills to encapsulate best practices. The plugin system extends runtime behavior, and the Hooks mechanism triggers lifecycle event scripts.
Supports writing multi-agent orchestration scripts in JavaScript to implement advanced patterns like fan-out research, multi-perspective review, and pipeline processing, and is compatible with Claude Code workflows.
Section 04
Developed in Go, it relies on open-source libraries like the Charmbracelet ecosystem (TUI components), fastschema/qjs (QuickJS bindings), and spf13/cobra (CLI framework), balancing performance and cross-platform capabilities.

DeepSeek has aggressive pricing, and Whale uses its prompt caching mechanism to further reduce costs. The local runtime mode reduces subscription fees, network latency, and data privacy risks.
It does not aim to be a multi-model universal shell nor replace full IDEs; it is a terminal-specific tool.
Section 06
In active development, following the MIT license, code hosted on GitHub with contribution guidelines, security disclosure processes, and a public roadmap. It is not an official DeepSeek project but an independent open-source community project.
Whale represents the shift of AI programming assistants from general cloud services to dedicated local agents. A desktop version will be developed in the future, and it is expected to become a unified AI programming infrastructure connecting terminals, desktops, and CI/CD.

Nornir MCP Server is an enterprise-level server based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It seamlessly integrates large language models (such as Claude) with the Nornir network automation framework, supporting natural language orchestration for multi-vendor network devices (Cisco, Arista, Juniper, etc.), and providing production-grade features like a dual-engine architecture (NAPALM + Netmiko), intelligent filtering, and a secure sandbox.
Bibliothèque Française LLM is a structured indexing and annotation project for French public domain literature designed specifically for large language models (LLMs). It integrates multiple authoritative sources such as DraCor, Common Corpus, and Wikisource, providing metadata indexing categorized by genre, author, and era, as well as in-depth annotations for dramatic texts (including characters, lines, stage directions, etc.). Its aim is to enable LLMs to efficiently read and understand classic French literary works.
Splinter is a minimalist, high-performance key-value (KV) and vector storage system enabling zero-latency inter-process communication via shared memory and atomic operations. With only 766 lines of core code, it supports millions of operations per second and 768-dimensional vector storage, offering a new architectural approach for local LLM inference and data-intensive applications.
