Warp

Warp is a Rust-built terminal that has grown into an agentic development environment: a coding agent in the terminal, an agent CLI that runs anywhere, and cloud infrastructure for running fleets of agents across the software lifecycle. It open-sourced its client in April 2026 and lets teams bring their own models and API keys.

Warp started in 2020 as a Rust rewrite of the terminal emulator, adding block-based command output, an editor-style multi-line input field, GUI settings and Warp Drive for sharing templated commands across a team. It has since repositioned itself as an agentic development environment in which the terminal is one surface among several. The current product line is Warp Terminal for macOS 10.14+, Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, Fedora, SUSE, Arch) and Windows 10/11; the Warp Agent CLI, which runs Warp's coding agent inside any terminal; and Warp Factories, cloud infrastructure for running fleets of coding agents across the software development lifecycle, defined as code, on any model or harness, with humans placed at whichever checkpoints a team chooses. Warp deliberately avoids model lock-in: teams can point it at OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, LiteLLM or OpenRouter, bring their own API keys on paid plans, choose self-hosted or Warp-managed execution, and run third-party agents such as Claude Code and Gemini CLI inside the environment. Built-in evaluation, benchmarking and self-improvement loops let agent configurations be measured rather than tuned by feel. The most consequential change came in April 2026, when Warp open-sourced its client codebase under a dual AGPL-3.0 and MIT licence with OpenAI as a founding sponsor; the repository now carries roughly 64.6k stars, while cloud components including Warp Drive and the Oz orchestration layer stay proprietary. Warp reports 718,000 active developers and 179,000 agents running daily. The company has raised roughly $73M across seed, a GV-led Series A and a $50M Sequoia-led Series B in June 2023, and holds a SOC 2 Type 2 attestation with a zero-data-retention option on the Enterprise plan.

Warp reports 718,000 active developers and 179,000 agents running daily

• ✓
  Warp Factories

  Cloud infrastructure to run fleets of coding agents across the SDLC, defined as code, on any model or harness with configurable human checkpoints.

• ✓
  Warp Agent CLI

  The coding agent packaged to run inside any terminal, so the agent is not tied to using Warp's own terminal application.

• ✓
  Modern terminal UX

  Block-based command output, editor-style multi-line input, GUI settings and syntax highlighting on macOS, Linux and Windows.

• ✓
  Bring your own inference and keys

  Point Warp at OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, LiteLLM or OpenRouter, or supply your own API keys on paid plans, avoiding model lock-in.

• ✓
  Built-in evaluation and benchmarking

  Measure agent performance and let agents study those results to propose configuration improvements, instead of tuning prompts by intuition.

• ✓
  Warp Drive

  Shared, templated commands and workflows so a team's operational knowledge lives in the terminal rather than in a wiki.

• ✓
  Enterprise data controls

  SOC 2 Type 2 attestation, AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, Okta enforcement, domain verification and zero data retention on Enterprise.

• •
  Standardising agent configuration across a team

  Define agent setups as code in Warp Factories so every engineer runs the same harness, model policy and review checkpoints.

• •
  Running third-party agents in one place

  Orchestrate Claude Code and Gemini CLI alongside Warp's own agent instead of leaving each engineer to wire them up individually.

• •
  Onboarding engineers to unfamiliar tooling

  AI command suggestions and shared Warp Drive workflows reduce the time spent hunting for the right invocation of a verbose CLI.

• •
  Keeping AI spend on existing provider contracts

  Bring your own API keys or Bedrock account so agent usage bills against negotiated cloud commitments rather than a reseller margin.

• •
  Regulated agent adoption

  Use the Enterprise zero-data-retention agreement and self-hosted cloud agents so console and AI interaction data is never collected.

List pricing is published for everything except Enterprise. Metering is by credits, and the detail that bites is that they do not roll over — Hacker News commenters comparing the retired $15/month Pro plan (2,500 monthly AI requests) against the $20/month Build plan (1,500 credits, no rollover) concluded it is more expensive for some users and cheaper for others, and reviewers report overage charged far above the effective rate of included credits. Bring-your-own-key removes the markup but is gated behind the $20 Build tier and is not available free. On the free plan telemetry must stay enabled to use AI at all; paid plans can opt out and keep AI. Warp Factories bills either through an existing plan tier or pay-as-you-go with a 20% markup.
