AICodeKing releases PandaCode, an open-source Rust agent GUI
Overview
AICodeKing announces PandaCode, a fully open-source agent GUI built in Rust and described as 12MB, that runs Claude Code, Codex, Kimi, GLM, OpenCode and Antigravity in one window.
The author says the app has no bundled Chromium or background Node server, can run Mac and Debian VMs and iOS and Android emulators inside it, and uses about 180MB idle memory across roughly 30 agents. These figures and a claim of about 4x speed over T3 Code in benchmarks come from the author's post, which also says the project is built by one person and expected to have bugs. The source is a single X post linking to the GitHub repository.

AICodeKing@aicodekingXPandaCode, a 12MB open-source Rust agent GUI with built-in VM layerAIPandaCode is a fully open-source agent GUI built in Rust at 12MB, with no bundled Chromium or background Node server. The author says it can run Mac and Debian VMs and iOS and Android emulators inside the app, with the first frame in under 0.3s and about 180MB idle memory across roughly 30 agents. The app works with Claude Code, Codex, Kimi, GLM, OpenCode, and Antigravity in one window, and the author says it is about 4x faster than T3 Code in benchmarks, though it is built by one person and expected to have bugs.
