Magnitude is an open-source local inference server built for coding agents. One command profiles your hardware, recommends models that actually fit it, downloads and tunes them, then plugs straight into the agent you already use — Claude Code, Cline, Pi, OpenCode, Codex. Fully offline, no API bill, no rate limits. Apache 2.0.
Why this exists
The founder’s pitch nails the pain: today’s agents are local, but the model isn’t. Every prompt, file, and secret ships to a cloud API — and gets metered. Magnitude moves inference back on-device. Models load just-in-time and unload when memory gets tight, and you can bring any custom GGUF from Hugging Face. macOS and Linux, Windows via WSL.
The API angle
Install the CLI via npm (@magnitudedev/cli), run setup, and it exposes an inference endpoint your agent points at instead of Anthropic or OpenAI. Typical play: route routine edits through a local Qwen-class model, save the paid API for hard problems.
After swiftlet and omlx, this is the third “local models for agents” project to trend within weeks. That’s a demand signal, not a coincidence.
