Release2026-08-05

Warp released the Warp Agent CLI, a standalone command-line version of its coding assistant that runs in any terminal rather than only inside Warp's own terminal app. It manages terminal sessions directly, so it can keep context across directory changes and drive interactive tools such as databases and Python sessions, and it can be used over a remote connection without installing anything on the remote machine. Requests are routed automatically between frontier and open-weight models, with the model usage billed at cost.

What changed

Warp's coding agent was only usable inside Warp's own terminal application.

What it unlocks

Running Warp's coding agent from any terminal, including over SSH on a remote machine without installing anything there.

  • 800,000 developers using the Warp Agent
  • inference charged at API cost, no markup

What you need to act on it
