Shun keeps coding agents on the machine in front of you
An open-source, local-first coding harness for running capable models on consumer GPUs, with tools, plugins, durable context, and explicit permissions.
Field notes
The project runs coding-agent work locally or sends task-relevant results to a hosted provider chosen by the user. Its stated design manages scarce context through bounded tool returns, streamed file reads, measured model windows, and on-demand capabilities. The page specifically frames a 7B model as a useful stress test and describes atomic edits as one reviewable batch rather than a sequence of fragile tool steps. Shun is presented as open source under the MIT license.
