MIT local model runner — free forever; Pro cloud $20/mo
AI Agents / Agents · Freemium · 180k
What's Good
MIT. Pull and run open models locally with a simple CLI/API. Free forever on device; optional Pro cloud at $20/mo. Huge community default for laptop LLM experiments.
The Catch
Model runner, not a coding agent. Distinct from vLLM (server serving) and LM Studio (GUI desktop app). You still pick models, prompts, and the agent layer on top.
Verdict
MIT local runner. Free on device; Pro is optional cloud.
