OpenCode

OpenCodeAIOpen

AI coding agent for terminal, editor, and desktop

Stars202.9K
Commit8h ago
LicenseMIT

OpenCode is a coding agent that runs where you already work rather than in a separate chat window. The same session can be driven from a terminal, an editor extension, or a desktop client, and it keeps context across all three.

Ollama

OllamaAIOpen

Run open language models locally with one command

Stars179.9K
Commit14h ago
LicenseMIT

Ollama reduced local model hosting from an afternoon of CUDA troubleshooting to a single pull command. It handles model download, quantisation selection, GPU offloading, and memory management, and exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint on localhost.

Alternative tolm studio
Firecrawl

FirecrawlAIOpen

Turn any website into clean, model-ready data

Stars174.9K
Commit11h ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

Firecrawl handles the unglamorous part of feeding the web to a language model: rendering JavaScript, following pagination, stripping navigation and cookie banners, and returning markdown or structured JSON that a model can actually use.

Open WebUI

Open WebUIAIOpen

One chat interface for every model you run or connect

Stars150.5K
Commit10h ago
LicenseBSD-3-Clause

Open WebUI is the front end that turns a local inference server into something a household or a team can actually use. It handles accounts, conversation history, document retrieval, and model switching, and speaks to both local runtimes and hosted APIs.

llama.cpp

llama.cppAIOpen

Inference engine that runs LLMs on almost any hardware

Stars126.6K
Commit8h ago
LicenseMIT

llama.cpp is the layer most local model tooling is built on. It is a C and C++ inference engine with no Python runtime, aggressive quantisation support, and hand-tuned kernels for a remarkably wide range of hardware.

Alternative tolm studio
OpenHands

OpenHandsAIOpen

Autonomous agents that complete real engineering tasks

Stars85.8K
Commit8h ago
LicenseMIT

OpenHands runs agents that plan and execute multi-step engineering work: reading a repository, editing files, running tests, and iterating until a task is done. Each agent works inside a sandboxed runtime rather than on the host machine.

LobeChat

LobeChatAI

Polished chat interface for many model providers

Stars82.1K
Commit8h ago
LicenseUnknown

LobeChat is the most designed of the open chat front ends. Plugins, an assistant marketplace, voice input and output, and vision support are all present, and the interface holds up next to commercial products.

Alternative tochatgpt
Parlant

ParlantAIOpen

A control layer for customer-facing AI agents

Stars18.3K
Commit2mo ago
LicenseApache-2.0

Parlant addresses the problem that stops most support agents from shipping: a model that is helpful ninety-five percent of the time is not safe to put in front of customers. It manages behaviour through explicit, context-matched guidelines rather than one long prompt.

ChatGPT

ChatGPTAI

OpenAI's assistant and the interface that set the pattern

CompanyOpenAI
Since2022
PricingFreemium

ChatGPT is the product that made conversational assistants ordinary. Beyond the chat box it now covers file analysis, image generation, web browsing, voice, and custom assistants sharing one account.

Claude

ClaudeAI

Anthropic's assistant, strongest on long documents and code

CompanyAnthropic
Since2023
PricingFreemium

Claude is positioned around careful reasoning over long inputs. The large context window makes whole-repository and long-document work practical in a way that shorter context assistants cannot match.

Alternative tochatgpt
Cursor

CursorAI

An editor rebuilt around model assisted editing

CompanyAnysphere
Since2023
PricingFreemium

Cursor forked VS Code rather than extending it, which let it change the editing model itself. Multi-file edits, codebase-wide context, and a tab completion that predicts the next edit rather than the next token are the result.

Alternative togithub copilot
GitHub Copilot

GitHub CopilotAI

AI completion and chat inside the editor

CompanyGitHub
Since2021
PricingFreemium

Copilot put model assisted completion in front of a very large number of developers first, and inline suggestion in the editor remains the interaction most people mean by AI coding.

LM Studio

LM StudioAI

Desktop application for running language models locally

CompanyElement Labs
Since2023
PricingFree

LM Studio made local models approachable for people who do not want a terminal. Browse a catalogue, download a quantisation that fits the machine, and chat, with hardware requirements explained in plain language.
