I Built a Coding Agent That Runs on a 1.7B Model

Description and use

<p>I've been interested in local AI for a while, especially running AI models on hardware that isn't exactly a massive AI workstation.</p> <p>At some point, I started wondering:</p> <p><strong>How useful could a coding agent be if it had to run on a tiny local model?</strong></p> <p>So I decided to build one.</p> <p>That's how <strong>MINICODE</strong> started.</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/ANIRudH-lab-life/MINICODE" rel="noopener noreferrer">GitHub — MINICODE</a></p> <h2> What is MINICODE? </h2> <p>MINICODE is a terminal-based AI coding agent that I built around small local language mode
