Atlarix

Live

A desktop coding harness built specifically around open-weight models like DeepSeek, Qwen and Kimi, instead of bolting them onto a Claude or GPT-first interface as an afterthought.

FreeWorks offline

What to know▼

How it works: A desktop AI coding harness built around open-weight models (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax) instead of Claude/GPT, using a structural + lexical code-retrieval engine (Blueprint) that builds a real dependency graph of the codebase rather than embeddings or a vector DB.

Pricing: Free.
Best for: Developers who want to use open-weight models like DeepSeek, Qwen, or Kimi for coding with retrieval built for their limitations.
Watch out: Depends on local tools like Ollama and MCP — offline/no-cloud setup requires configuring those dependencies yourself.
