Open Interpreter Update: Native Codex Protocol and Kimi K3 Support
Shruti_0810 · x · 2026-08-05
Open-source local AI execution tool Open Interpreter announced a major update, adding support for the Kimi K3 model and native compatibility with the Codex execution protocol.
- Core Updates: Reimplements Kimi K3's recommended harness in Rust, allowing users to switch between 10+ harnesses via the /harness command.
- Open Standards: Built entirely on open standards including AGENTS.md, MCP, and ACP.
- Product Positioning: Rather than just wrapping an API, it acts as a local execution engine. Users can leverage LLMs through a terminal interface to execute shell commands, run Python scripts, and manage files to automate complex tasks.
