winget install --id HunterBown.CodeWhaleAbout CodeWhale
Terminal coding agent for DeepSeek V4. It runs from the deepseek command, streams reasoning blocks, edits local workspaces with approval gates, and includes an auto mode that chooses both model and thinking level per turn.
What's new in 0.8.53
Added - Hugging Face Inference Providers. Added huggingface as a native provider route (/provider huggingface). Supports HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY or HF_TOKEN for auth, HUGGINGFACE_BASE_URL and HUGGINGFACE_MODEL for overrides, and deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro / deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash as default models. Org-prefixed model IDs pass through. Fixed - Agent-mode shell error copy. The missing-tool error for shell tools now directs users to allow_shell = true instead of nudging toward YOLO mode. /config surfaces allow_shell in the Permissions section. - Provider description. /provider command description is now neutral instead of recommending specific providers. Community Thanks to @xyuai for provider persistence, /logout scope clarification, provider picker key replacement, and MiMo auth cleanup work (#2714, #2715, #2717, #2718), and @RefuseOdd for configurable path_suffix support on OpenAI-compatible endpoints (#2558).
