Details

Trae Agent is an open-source CLI agent from ByteDance for general-purpose software engineering tasks. The official repository and documentation describe support for multiple LLMs, file editing, bash tools, and trajectory recording. Official TRAE blog sources also describe Trae Agent as open-sourced and point to the bytedance/trae-agent repository and docs; a Trae Agent 2.0 post describes reengineered architecture, unified agent modes, smarter tool orchestration, and long-term memory for coding workflows.

When to Use
