Warp, the Rust-powered, hardware-accelerated and cross-platform agentic coding tool has launched Warp Code, a new set of features ‘for shipping agent-generated code all the way from prompt to production’.
Warp launched on Linux last year it was described as an ‘modern terminal’ — albeit one that couldn’t be used without an internet connection or an online login, even locally — paired with IDE smarts, collaborative functional and some basic AI integrations.
Earlier this year came Warp 2.0, pivoting from terminal to Agentic Development Environment (ADE). It remains part-terminal, and part-IDE, but it’s ALL in on coding with AI agents. That trendy repositioning paid off: signups jumped, and revenue leaped 30x.
Unsurprisingly, the new suite of Warp Code features sees the company double-down on prompt-based development:
The workflow of opening a file and hand-writing code is becoming obsolete. Instead, developers will start with a prompt – tell an agent to fix a bug, build a feature, debug a server crash in prod… and watch it work.

Prompt-based coding isn’t without its pitfalls — or myths: in one study, open source developers felt they completed tasks ~20% quicker using AI tools, but were actually ~19% slower — but Warp Code is hoping to smooth over them.
‘Too often agents write code that almost works, but has subtle issues that end up taking a lot of time to understand, debug, and commit’, they write.
‘The solution is […] to improve the prompting workflow so that developers have more comprehension and control. We call this process “agent steering” and our goal with Warp Code is to ship the most “steer”-able coding agent around.’
Warp Code offers access to the top coding agents, code review features, a new lightweight file viewer and code editor inside of Warp, with tabs, file tree and syntax highlighting, and the ability to create Warp projects using WARP.md files.
To showcase the new Warp Code features, the company spent some of their 30x jump in revenue on a horse rental, cowboy outfits and video production company to create this (cringe) video:
If any of this sounds like something you want to try, you can!
Warp is closed-source software (they say they might go open source one day) available for free on Windows, macOS and Linux. Most features do require a signup and, once free limits are reached, a paid plan to actually use it — keep that in mind!
You can download the latest release from the official website. The Linux build is available as an AppImage or a DEB which, for those on Ubuntu or Linux, may be preferred. The DEB adds the official Warp apt repo to deliver future updates.
You can report bugs, issues and other quirks on the Warp GitHub page.
