Developer releases Clive, an open-source CLI coding assistant for local LLMs
A developer built Clive, a command-line coding assistant that runs large language models locally via Ollama, after finding open-source models competitive with frontier options like Claude and GPT. The tool is designed to improve terminal workflow ergonomics, offering streaming chat, safe file editing with diff previews, and autonomous multi-file agent tasks. All processing happens on the user's machine, meaning no code, prompts, or files are transmitted externally. Written in Rust and released under the MIT license, Clive reached its first public version, v0.1.0, and is available on GitHub. It also includes built-in Ollama management, persistent configuration, and JSON output support for automation.
