README

Rayline Local

Rayline Local is an open-source router from Atlas Futures, Inc. that runs on your machine and sits between your coding agent and the AI models it talks to, deciding where each request should go. The point is hybrid sessions: keep your main agent on a frontier cloud model while quietly sending cheaper, high-volume work — like background subagent tasks — to a fast model running locally.

It ships as two binaries: the `rayline` CLI and the `rld` daemon. Using it locally through `rayline claude --local` needs no account and never connects to a hosted service — everything runs with your own machine and credentials.

Demo

Claude Code running with hybrid cloud + on-device AI. The main agent runs Opus in the cloud and orchestrates an `Explore` subagent that Rayline Local routes to a model running fully on your machine (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, Q4) — seamlessly, in a single session.

Install

Release assets are published on [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/rayline-ai/rayline/releases).

macOS and Linux:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rayline-ai/rayline/main/scripts/install-rayline.sh | sh

Windows PowerShell:

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rayline-ai/rayline/main/scripts/install-rayline.ps1 | iex

The installers place `rayline` and `rld` in `~/.rayline/bin` by default and verify every downloaded binary against the release `SHA256SUMS` file.

Quick Start

Start a Claude Code session with the auth-free local router. Your conversation works exactly as it normally does — Rayline just routes background subagent work to your on-device model:
