# ATLAS

A local coding agent that adds planning, candidate generation, sandboxed verification and repair around compact open models, so smaller models running on a developer's own hardware can handle real software tasks without a hosted API.

ATLAS is a local coding agent built to get more capable results from smaller, locally run models by adding structure around them rather than depending on a single generation from the model. It plans a task, generates and scores candidate solutions, tests them in an isolated sandbox, and repairs failures, spending more compute on harder tasks and less on straightforward edits.

It runs a compatible GGUF model on NVIDIA, AMD, Apple Silicon, Vulkan or CPU-only hardware, and does not intentionally upload a repository or prompts to a hosted service; sandboxed commands have outbound network access by default, which can be disabled. It requires no hosted model or third-party API key, authenticating instead with a local per-installation service token.

It is open source and self-hosted, with a terminal UI for running its pipeline.
