What is this
Wuwei is an **AI agent** — not autocomplete, not a chat box. At its core: a **large language model + a tool-execution loop + an interface** (terminal TUI / desktop GUI).
You state a goal and it reads files, edits code, runs commands, and searches the web to finish the task from start to end — while the harness is fully self-built, open source and auditable, with your code and data staying on your own machine.
- 🆓 Genuinely free — works out of the box, no subscription, no credit card
- 💻 Local-first — your project and code stay on your machine, never uploaded somewhere you can't see
- 🔍 Open source (MIT) — auditable line by line, no hidden telemetry, no region tagging
- 🔌 Bring any model — Claude / any OpenAI-compatible endpoint / local models (vLLM, Ollama) / Chinese LLMs, one-click switch
- 🌏 Direct access in China — no VPN needed for Chinese models
- 🛡️ Permission prompts — confirm before writing files or running commands (
