Venta Wants to Put the AI Beside the Code

Field notes

Venta describes a local runtime that inspects a project folder, interprets a natural-language task, edits files, runs tests, and reports what happened. Its verification layer is unusually specific: Python files are parsed and name-checked, missing references can send a run back for correction, and extensions execute separately after explicit consent. The changelog records model benchmarking and editor safety fixes, including a tuned model that remained unused after losing to the baseline.
