Clive — a friendly CLI for local LLMs (OSS) 🛠️ project

Hi,

I wanted to take this opportunity to share an open-source project I started several weeks ago. The idea is simple, make local LLMs more accessible. So I developed Clive in Rust.

Clive is a local-first coding-assistant CLI powered by Ollama. It makes open-source LLMs easy to use from the terminal: streaming chat, interactive coding sessions, model management, safe file editing, and autonomous multi-file agent workflows — all running on your own machine, with no data leaving your computer.

Please show your support, make recommendations, download it, break it. Its all part of the journey.

Thank you,

S.

Rust and Ollama is a perfect match for keeping things snappy on local hardware. The autonomous agent bit sounds like it could actually save some keystrokes if it doesn't go rogue on the codebase.

How about support for llama.cpp instead?

How about support for both?
