Warp

The agentic development environment — AI-native terminal for 700K+ developers.

Warp Open source Since

Warp is the open-source, GPU-accelerated agentic development environment (ADE) used by 700K+ developers. Built in Rust, it integrates AI deeply into the terminal — natural-language commands, multi-step coding agents, parallel agent threads, codebase indexing — and adds Warp Code (built-in editor) plus Oz, a cloud agent orchestration platform. Warp also hosts Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode as first-class CLI agents. Open-sourced April 28, 2026 with OpenAI as founding sponsor.

+ Pros

  • Open-source agentic development environment (AGPL-3.0/MIT) with 60.3k GitHub stars and active community contributions.
  • Built-in Warp Agent with SWE-bench 70% score — one of the highest quality coding agents available, with full terminal use capabilities.
  • Multi-agent orchestration via Oz platform — orchestrate Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Warp Agent in cloud or locally, with seamless handoff.
  • Native Rust performance with modern IDE-like features: block-based terminal, code editor with LSP, code review, diffs, syntax highlighting, and MCP protocol support.
  • Cross-platform: macOS, Linux (Debian/Ubuntu/RHEL/Arch/AppImage), Windows 11/10, and WSL with weekly stable releases.
  • SOC 2 compliant with Zero Data Retention agreements — no customer AI data retained or used for training, with BYOK (bring-your-own-key) support.
  • Rich collaboration features: session sharing, Warp Drive for shared notebooks/env vars/workflows, team management, and integrations with GitHub, Slack, Linear.

Cons

  • AI agent features require a Warp account and credits — subscription necessary for premium models and cloud agent orchestration.
  • Larger memory footprint than lightweight terminal alternatives — built as a full ADE in Rust, not a minimal terminal emulator.
  • Initially macOS-only (2021-2024), Windows and Linux support arrived later — some platform-specific features still maturing.
  • Learning curve: the shift from traditional terminal to agentic development environment adds complexity for users who just need a simple terminal.

Warp is the Rust-built, GPU-accelerated terminal that rebranded itself the "Agentic Development Environment" (ADE) in June 2025. Used by 700K+ developers at companies like Docker, Stripe, and half the Fortune 500, Warp replaces the conventional shell with a modern, IDE-style terminal: a rich code editor at the prompt, block-based command output, real-time collaborative session sharing, and AI deeply integrated at every layer — not as a sidebar, but as the primary interface.

On April 28, 2026, Warp open-sourced the desktop client (12.8K GitHub stars on day one) with OpenAI as founding sponsor. The same release surfaced Oz, Warp's cloud agent orchestration platform: agents run on remote VMs triggered by cron, GitHub or Slack webhooks, REST API calls, or interactive Cloud Mode — each with configurable instructions, profile, trigger, environment, and host. Oz supports two interaction modes: Full Terminal Use (attach to live PTYs, read buffers, interact with REPLs and debuggers) and Computer Use (sandboxed desktop GUI control). Warp now also hosts the most popular CLI coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode — with vertical tabs, notifications, native code review, and remote control.

Warp Code (September 2025) added a built-in code editor, turning Warp into a broader development surface. Warp Drive remains the team knowledge layer: reusable commands, parameterized workflows, notebooks, and environment variables shared across teammates. Multi-agent orchestration with configurable autonomy controls lets developers run several agents with different trust levels in parallel. Warp supports Claude Sonnet 4, GPT-5, and Gemini 2.5 Pro on all plans, with BYOK for OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google on paid tiers — and Enterprise adds mandatory Zero Data Retention, SAML SSO, audit logs, and dedicated support.

Signature Snippet
In Warp: type 'set up a Postgres database with Docker, run migrations, and seed test data'. The AI agent generates the Docker Compose file, runs the commands step-by-step in the terminal, explains each output, and saves the full workflow to Warp Drive so any teammate can replay it with one click.
