Faster Local engine built from scratch in Rust

https://www.conifer.build/

v11climbs•1h ago
It's a local inference engine we built from scratch in Rust - not another UI wrapper. The engine, the agent, and the tooling are all ours, tuned for your machine. This allows us to enforce security and data permissions instead of trusting a model's guardrails. One dependency keeps things simple and you can confidently source blame onto us if something breaks.

What's inside - Ecosystem not just a chatbot: Editor, integrated terminal, file viewers, IDE - the surfaces you actually build in. - Security: All agents and tool calls run inside a kernel-level sandbox, so it can only touch what you allow. This isn't something a prompt or agent controls, its a boundary the OS holds for you. - One click: We kept it simple, no docker, no servers to point at, no config files. Download the app, open it and its running. - Nothing leaves your computer: No telemetry, no accounts, no cloud latency, no network downtime.

thanks for being early. we expect things to break here but we're going to work everyday to fix it send us an email or fill out the website form for feedback: contact@conifer.build

I like this direction. Seems hard to get right, though.
