Raw LICENSE is the API. Free path is git clone, make, and download_model.sh against public Hugging Face GGUFs — no subscription. The coding agent runs in-process and shares KV cache with the model. Beta, with a healthy star pace (★~22,980 in about 172 weeks, ~134 a week).","theCatch":"Not a generic GGUF runner. Project quants only: DeepSeek V4/V4.1, GLM 5.x, Qwen3.8. Vs Ollama / Magnitude / llmfit: Ollama is the general local model runner, Magnitude is the consumer profiler plus agent-harness wiring, llmfit only sizes models to hardware — DwarfStar 4 is the antirez in-process coding agent with a shared KV cache, not a general local runner. Still beta; pin a commit before a fleet bet.","verdict":"MIT in-process coding agent when you want the antirez shared-KV quants — not Ollama, not Magnitude, not llmfit.","addedAt":"2026-10-03","featured":false,"domain":"AI Agents","subSpecialty":"Coding Agents","subcategory":"Coding Agents","tags":["self-host","permissive","coding-agents","active","young-repo","fast-stars"],"capabilities":["local","inference","coding"],"surfaces":["Self-host"],"ecosystem":["Multi-platform"],"licenseModel":"OSS/MIT","githubStars":23933,"starsPerWeek":1006,"access":"free","archived":false,"repo":{"createdAt":"2026-05-06","pushedAt":"2026-10-08","license":"MIT","archived":false,"checkedAt":"2026-10-19"}},"related":[{"slug":"claude-code","name":"Claude Code","tagline":"Terminal-first coding agent with deep repository context"},{"slug":"cursor","name":"Cursor","tagline":"The AI-first code editor that understands your codebase"},{"slug":"devin","name":"Devin","tagline":"Autonomous AI engineer for defined engineering tasks"},{"slug":"stagehand","name":"Stagehand","tagline":"AI-native browser automation that mixes code and natural language"},{"slug":"browser-use","name":"Browser Use","tagline":"Open-source framework for LLM-driven browser agents"}],"links":{"self":"/api/gems/ds4","html":"/gems/ds4","markdown":"/gems/ds4.md","category":"/api/gems?category=agents","categoryPage":"/stacks/agents"}}
