The easiest way to run your agent harnesses using local models:
Whether you're using Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Pi, the local setup itself isn't really the hard part.
The harder problem is figuring out which local model your machine can actually handle well.
You have to think about RAM, model size, quantization, context length, KV cache, speed, accuracy, and a bunch of other trade-offs before you even start.
Magnitude is an open-source solution that removes all of that guesswork for you.
It profiles your machine, benchmarks what it can realistically run, recommends the best models for your hardware, and then lets you connect them to your preferred agent harness.
The entire setup takes just two commands.
In this video, I walk through the full process from hardware profiling to running a harness on a local model.
