TrueFoundry open-sources TrueForge, an agent harness that runs on local models
dr_cintas · x · 2026-09-09
TrueFoundry open-sourced TrueForge, the agent harness it uses internally, arguing the harness itself should be open since it shapes context and tool use once agents do real work.
Key points:
- Works with any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM), so agents run on your own hardware — no API keys, no per-token bills, no secrets leaving your laptop
- One-command setup; local mode is a single process with a SQLite file, no database to stand up
- Configure once: models, MCP servers, skills, and a sandbox (Daytona today, local sandbox execution on the roadmap)
- Covers everyday work like analyzing private documents, querying internal APIs over MCP, and code review
