What's Good

Apache-2.0 (magnitudedev/magnitude). Consumer-hardware inference with hardware profiling, tok/s estimates before download, speculative decoding, and one-click wiring to Pi / OpenCode / Claude Code / Cline / Codex and friends. Desktop + CLI; free offline path once models are local. Download from magnitude.dev.

The Catch

Do NOT install bare npm/crates `magnitude` — name collision with unrelated packages; get the product from magnitude.dev (and the magnitudedev org), not a random registry hit. ★5,479 in about 21 weeks (~261 a week): judge it on the profiler + agent wiring, not the star count. Vs Ollama / llmfit / vLLM: Ollama is the simple local runner; llmfit sizes models to hardware; vLLM is throughput serving — Magnitude’s catch is consumer profiler + agent harness wiring in one desktop/CLI.

Verdict

Apache local inference when agents need hardware-aware models on the desk — download magnitude.dev; ignore registry name twins and the ★ spike.
