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
openjetNew 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.
