A terminal coding agent that edits files in a local git repository and commits its own changes, driven from the command line with the user's own model key.
Our description, from the project's GitHub description, as of 2026-09-24.
Runs onThe places the vendor's own pages say the product runs: your machine, a container environment you run, or a cloud service the vendor runs. It is not a limit.
Models runWhere the vendor's own pages say the product's models run, not a limit: your machine, a container environment you run, the model company's cloud (servers of the company that makes or serves the model), or a cloud provider's model service. For a cloud, read the data and compliance lines of the company running it, linked by its name.
Several endpoints built inThe tool itself can hold more than one provider or address, so nothing has to sit in front of it to reach different providers.
Same role (harness / agent client) at the same layer (Coding agents and assistants). Up to 4 others, in alphabetical order; nothing is ranked.
Product
Several providersOne session can use models from different providers, for example one agent on one maker's model and another on a second maker's. Switching the single model for the whole session does not count on its own. A tool that is itself a gateway or library routing to the providers its page names counts.
Several endpointsThe tool itself can hold more than one provider or address, so nothing has to sit in front of it to reach different providers.
Model on your machineThe tool can use a model running on your own computer, for example through Ollama, LM Studio, oMLX or llama.cpp.
Local and cloudA local model (on your machine or in a container environment you run) and a cloud model (in its model company's cloud or a cloud provider's model service) can both be used in the same session or setup.
Words in the cells: YesA page we read says so., PartlyA page says part of it, for example separate models per agent without saying the providers can differ., Via a proxyOnly with a proxy, or a local server that imitates a cloud provider's interface, in front of the tool., NoA page we read says the product does not support it., ClaimedA vendor page says so on a marketing or overview page, and we found no guide showing how to set it up., Not foundWe read pages for it and found nothing there. It says nothing about whether the product has the feature., n/aThe question does not apply to the product, for example because it is a model server and not a tool that connects to models., BlankNothing is published for it yet.
Data and compliance
Compliance: Set by whoever runs itThe answer belongs to whoever runs the software, because open-source software has no maker running it for you., for their own deployment.
