Magnitude Setup: Free Local Models for Your AI Agent.

Transcript

You're paying real money in API bills for your coding agent. Here's a free fix. This is Magnitude, an inference server that profiles your machine, picks a local model that actually fits it, and wires it straight into the agent you already use. No API key, no per token cost. It just crossed three thousand stars on GitHub, adding almost seven hundred in a single day. Setup starts with one install. npm install dash g at magnitude dev slash cli. That drops the magnitude command on your path. From there you run magnitude setup. It profiles your CPU, your memory, your GPU if you have one, and shows you a catalog of models sized for what you're actually running, not a generic list. Pick one, and it downloads and tunes itself automatically. Last step, connect it to your harness. magnitude connections add, then the name of your agent, Claude Code, OpenCode, Cline, whatever you use. That one command rewrites its config to point at your local model instead of the cloud. Open your agent, send a real prompt, and it answers fully offline. No vendor, no rate limit, no bill.
