Magnitude is an open-source CLI tool and agent that bundles local LLM inference with an agent harness, profiling your hardware to recommend, download, and tune the best models automatically. Everything runs fully offline and privately on your machine with no API keys or token costs.

Use cases

• run an AI coding agent fully offline with local models
• automatically pick the best local LLM for my hardware
• replace Ollama with a zero-config local inference setup
• keep AI agent prompts and files private on my machine
• run local models without API keys or token costs
• extend an agent with skills for Excel, PDFs, and Chrome
• serve local models to harnesses like Claude Code or Cline

When to choose

• you want a private, offline AI agent with no inference setup
• you're unsure which local model or quantization fits your machine
• you want an inference server tuned for agent workloads with just-in-time model loading
• you want to avoid token costs, rate limits, and subscriptions

When to avoid

• you need frontier model quality only available via cloud APIs
• you're on Windows without WSL
• your hardware has too little memory for useful local models
• you want fine-grained manual control over model servers and quantization choices
