Radian
A fast, efficient coding agent in one binary for development pipelines
What is Radian?
Radian is a coding agent packaged as a single Rust binary that operates from a full-screen terminal interface or headless shell commands. It includes arc, an orchestration system that turns requests into plans, runs tasks using separate worker processes, and evaluates them against a verification gate. Sessions are stored as individual files, enabling users to resume, fork, and export their work.
