Highlights

- 63% fewer tokens than Codex CLI on the same model, at the
  same success rate.
- Auto reasoning effort — each message
  and tool step gets the effort it needs, judged in about 0.1 s by a 150 MB
  model that runs locally on the CPU. On by default.
- Use the Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, or Muse Code subscription you already have, API
  keys, or local models on your own GPU.
- Mix models by role and scale from Solo to Swarm — a strong model leads
  while cheaper ones search, edit, and review in parallel. Switch the workflow
  or mode mid-conversation, and set fallback models for usage limits.
- Bots and rooms — your own bots with their own models, tools, and
  permissions, group rooms where they talk together, and a representative bot
  that sits above the composer on your desktop.
- A full workspace: editor, terminals, Git and GitHub, code graph, and
  language servers, with themes and photo skins.
- Keeps working on its own with Goals, schedules, and webhooks — and
  continues from your phone, end-to-end encrypted.
- Goes beyond code with browser and desktop control, Office and PDF
  documents, and image and video generation.
- Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. No config files.
