A simple, fast terminal based AI coding assistant

oli - Open Local Intelligent assistant

oli is an open-source alternative to Claude Code with powerful agentic capabilities for coding assistance. Features:

• A modern hybrid architecture:
  • Rust backend for performance and core functionality
  • React/Ink frontend for a beautiful, interactive terminal UI
• Support for both cloud APIs (Anthropic Claude Sonnet 3.7, OpenAI GPT4o and Google Gemini) and local LLMs (via Ollama)
• Strong agentic capabilities including file search, edit, and command execution
• Tool use support across all model providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and Ollama)

⚠️ This project is in a very early stage and is prone to bugs and issues! Please post your issues as you encounter them.
