OpenJet v0.4: Zero-Config Local Coding Agent with llama.cpp Backend

OpenJet v0.4 is now available — an open-source terminal coding agent that runs local LLMs via llama.cpp with zero manual configuration. It gives you a Claude Code-style workflow without any API keys, running entirely on your own hardware.

What It Does

• Auto-detects your hardware (RTX, Mac, Jetson, CPU-only, etc.) and configures the llama.cpp backend accordingly.
• Reads files, searches your repository, edits code, and runs shell commands.
• Asks for permission before executing shell or write actions.
• Stores persistent memory across sessions, both per-project and system-wide.

Installation

curl -fsSL https://www.openjet.dev/install.sh | bash
openjet setup
openjet

New in v0.4

• Full new user interface (TUI).
• Improved model support for smaller GPUs.
• Multi-step coding agent capabilities.

Who It's For

Developers who want a local, private coding agent without the hassle of manually configuring models, backends, or permissions.
