## The Hook

gptme is an agent in your terminal: it reads and edits files, runs shell commands and Python, and works with local models or API models.

## What's Good

MIT (gptme/gptme), release v0.35.1 (2026-10-15), commit on 2026-10-20. ★~4.5k (~23 a week). Useful when you want a general terminal assistant that is not tied to one model vendor and can run against a local model.

## The Catch

Its community is smaller than Aider's or Codex CLI's, so expect fewer integrations, examples and answers when something breaks.

## Verdict

A vendor-neutral terminal agent that is actively maintained, with a smaller crowd around it.
