AgentAleph vs codeg

Local coding agents and multi-agent workspaces compared

AgentAleph is a Linux desktop app for running a coding agent with local GGUF models through llama.cpp. codeg is a multi-agent workspace for coordinating ACP-compatible agents across desktop, server, Docker, and mobile; the main difference is local-model use in a single app versus collaboration across agents and deployments.

Key differences

  • AgentAleph manages GGUF models and runs inference locally through llama.cpp; codeg connects built-in and custom agents through the Agent Client Protocol.
  • AgentAleph focuses on project-file tools with per-tool permissions, approval options, and read-only plan mode; codeg focuses on shared sessions, agent delegation, and parallel work in Git worktrees.
  • AgentAleph documents Linux x64 as its packaged target, while codeg supports desktop, self-hosted server, Docker, iOS, and Android access.
  • AgentAleph is a new beta project with limited maintenance history; codeg reports frequent commits and releases, with contribution concentrated in one person.
  • Both projects use Rust; codeg specifies an Apache-2.0 license.

Choose AgentAleph if you…

  • want to run a coding agent with local GGUF models without a hosted inference service or API keys.
  • need approval-based file and shell tools, or a read-only planning mode for a project.
  • prefer one Linux desktop app for model management and local coding work.

Choose codeg if you…

  • want to coordinate several coding agents through a shared ACP-based workspace.
  • need agent delegation, parallel tasks, and review of changes across sessions.
  • want desktop, self-hosted, Docker, or mobile access, or a CLI for scripts and CI.
