About

Rig is a local-first AI coding assistant that runs entirely on your machine. It uses a modified open-source model post-trained exclusively for code, executed by a custom Rust inference engine optimized for Apple Silicon. Rig delivers fast and low latency agentic coding, requires no API calls, has no usage caps, collects zero telemetry, and costs $0 per token. All code and files stay on your machine. Rig currently supports macOS with Linux and Windows support planned.
