- Magnitude is a free, 100% open-source desktop app that profiles your machine, then ranks runnable models by speed, accuracy, intelligence and memory, downloads your pick, and tunes it for your exact hardware.
- Works on Apple Silicon, NVIDIA, AMD, or CPU-only, with one-click integration into agent harnesses like Pi, OpenCode, Claude Code, and Codex for fully local, offline, key-free agent workflows.
- A companion article by the co-founder explains running local models for agent work; the repo has hit 5k stars.
