What is LLxprt Code?

LLxprt Code is a command-line AI assistant designed for developers who want powerful LLM capabilities without leaving their terminal. Unlike GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT, LLxprt Code works with any provider and can run locally for complete privacy.

Key differences:

• Open source & community driven: Not locked into proprietary ecosystems
• Provider agnostic: Not locked into one AI service
• Local-first: Run entirely offline if needed
• Developer-centric: Built specifically for coding workflows
• Terminal native: Designed for CLI workflows, not web interfaces

Quick Start

1. Prerequisites: Node.js 20+ installed
2. Install:

   npm install -g @vybestack/llxprt-code
   # Or try without installing:
   npx @vybestack/llxprt-code

3. Run: llxprt
4. Choose provider: Use /provider to select your preferred LLM service
5. Start coding: Ask questions, generate code, or analyze projects

First session example:

cd your-project/
llxprt
> Explain the architecture of this codebase and suggest improvements
> Create a test file for the user authentication module
> Help me debug this error: [paste error message]

Interactive vs Non-Interactive Workflows

Interactive Mode (REPL): Perfect for exploration, rapid prototyping, and iterative development:

# Start interactive session
llxprt

> Explore this codebase and suggest improvements
> Create a REST API endpoint with tests
> Debug this authentication issue
> Optimize this database query

Non-Interactive Mode: Ideal for automation, CI/CD, and scripted workflows:

# Single command with immediate response
llxprt --profile-load zai-glm46 "Refactor this function for better readability"
llxprt "Generate unit tests for payment module" > tests/payment.test.js

Top Open Weight Models

LLxprt Code works seamlessly with the best open-weight models:

GLM 4.6

• Context Window: 200,000 tokens
• Architecture: Mixture-of-Experts with 355B total parameters (32B active)
• Strengths: Coding, multi-step planning, tool integration
• 15% fewer tokens for equivalent tasks vs previous generation

MiniMax-2

• Context Window: ~204,800 tokens
• Architecture: MoE with 230B total parameters (10B active)
• Strengths: Coding workflows, multi-step agents, tool calling
• Cost: Only 8% of Claude Sonnet, ~2x faster

Qwen 3 Coder

• Context Window: 256,000 tokens (extendable to 1M)
• Architecture: MoE with 480B total parameters (35B active)
• Strengths: Agentic coding, browser automation, tool usage
• Performance: State-of-the-art on SWE-bench Verified (69.6%)

Local Models

Run models completely offline for maximum privacy:

# With LM Studio
/provider openai
/baseurl http://localhost:1234/v1/
/model your-local-model

# With Ollama
/provider ollama
/model codellama:13b

Supported local providers:

• LM Studio: Easy Windows/Mac/Linux setup
• llama.cpp: Maximum performance and control
• Ollama: Simple model management
• Any OpenAI-compatible API: Full flexibility

Advanced Subagents

Create specialized AI assistants with isolated contexts and different configurations:

# Subagents run with custom profiles and tool access
# Access via the commands interface
/subagent list
/subagent create <name>

Each subagent can be configured with:

• Different providers (Gemini vs Anthropic vs Qwen vs Local)
• Different models (Flash vs Sonnet vs GLM 4.6 vs Custom)
• Different tool access (Restrict or allow specific tools)
• Different settings (Temperature, timeouts, max turns)
• Isolated runtime context (No memory or state crossover)

Subagents are designed for:

• Specialized tasks (Code review, debugging, documentation)
• Different expertise areas (Frontend vs Backend vs DevOps)
• Tool-limited environments (Read-only analysis vs Full development)
• Experimental configurations (Testing new models or settings)
