ByteAsk launches open-source AI C++ engineering agent with swarm support

ByteAsk introduces an open-source AI agent for C and C++ engineering, offered on a free plan, with a GitHub repository at github.com/ByteAsk/cli.

The launch post, made on X, says the agent can run as a swarm and automatically debug, profile, optimize and test code using native C/C++ tools.

The post makes three performance claims: state-of-the-art results on a multi-SWE-bench for C/C++, and 60% fewer tokens than Claude Code and Codex. These figures come from ByteAsk's announcement and have not been independently verified.
