Magnitude Run open models as fast as your hardware allows Magnitude is an open source inference engine that tunes its kernels on your hardware to find the fastest way to run each model. It's over 2x faster than Ollama and works on Apple Silicon, NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, or just a CPU. One click connects it to the agent you already use (Pi, OpenCode, Hermes, Codex, and more). ⭐ Help us reach more developers and grow the Magnitude community. Star this repo! Magnitude comes with a desktop app and a CLI. Install from your terminal: macOS / Linux: Windows PowerShell: Or download the installer: On Linux and macOS, magnitude server setup runs Magnitude as a service that starts at boot, keeps running after logout, updates itself, and serves browsers and agents on other computers.

Topics and intended use
No topics were included in the latest source metadata.
Review the README for scope, installation, examples and limitations. We do not run repository code or certify it.
Evaluate before installing
Review licensing and dependencies, inspect recent commits and unresolved issues, and test in an isolated environment before production use. Stars and forks alone cannot answer these questions.
