Run open models as fast as your hardware allows Magnitude is an open source inference engine for agents that optimizes itself for your exact hardware. It compiles and tunes its kernels on your device, so open models run up to 2x faster than llama.cpp. One click connects the agent you already use (Pi, OpenCode, Hermes, Codex, and more). Works on Apple Silicon, NVIDIA, AMD, or nothing but a CPU. Download Magnitude for macOS, Windows, or Linux ⭐ Help us reach more developers and grow the Magnitude community.

Community take
Skeptics argue the benchmarks are uncompelling since better-optimized engines like MLX already exist for local models, beating llama.cpp is a low bar, and no detailed methodology was provided.
