AX CODE / Providers

Choose where your AI runs.

/connect

Use an existing CLI account, connect a cloud API, or run models on your own hardware. Pick the connection that fits your setup.

Cloud APIs

Connect a supported cloud provider with its API credentials. Choose the provider and model that fit your task.

API Cloud Provider

Private GPU cloud

Connect your own OpenAI-compatible GPU endpoint. In /connect, choose Private GPU cloud → Custom provider, then enter your endpoint URL and API key.

LESS FRICTION. MORE BUILDING.

Made for the work between commits.

From understanding an unfamiliar codebase to reviewing a change, keep your development workflow in one place.

01

Stay in your flow.

Explore files, review diffs and run project tools in the Desktop app or your terminal.

02

Make a focused change.

Ask for a specific fix, review the proposed edits, and run your project’s checks.

03

See what changed.

Inspect execution records, review file changes, and compare runs before deciding what to keep.

WebMCP

WebMCP: Bring browser work into your coding session.

With the experimental WebMCP bridge, AX Code can read pages, call tools a website exposes and interact with its interface. It starts disabled and opens an isolated Chrome window when you enable it.

A website can tell an agent which actions it offers, what each action does and which inputs it accepts. This gives the agent an explicit tool interface alongside page reading and browser controls, reducing the need to infer every action from the visible interface. You still review permissions and results.

LOCAL INFERENCE, REAL PROJECTS

Unleash your hardware’s soft power.

Run a supported local model on your own machine. Use it with AX Code to explore your project, make changes and review the code.

Faster local AI with AX Engine.

AX Code is the coding harness. AX Engine runs the model on your Mac. AX Code’s managed default is Tiel Coder 35B. AX Engine’s own dense default is Qwen 3.8 27B.

Tiel Coder 35B (AX Code default): 194.88 vs 177.44 completion tokens/s including TTFT, M5 Max 128 GB, 20 September 2026. Decode 217.85 vs 198.40. Cyber-Tiel peak decode 249.01 (alternate pack). Qwen 3.8 27B AXQ (AX Engine dense default, not in the AX Code catalog): 76.90 decode / 795.3 prefill on M5 Max (2.76× direct AR); 31.05 decode on Mac mini M4 Pro 64 GB. Native API, not an AX Code session. Speed varies by hardware and workload.

Recommend M4 Pro 48 GB or more for the 35B pack. M5 Max 128 GB is the benchmark host. Do not mix Tiel completion tok/s with Qwen 27B decode. Native-API tokens/s are not AX Code session speed. External providers and connected tools may send data off-device.

FAQ

Why choose AX Code?

Can I inspect what the agent actually did?

Use ax-code graph to inspect recorded steps and tool calls, and ax-code compare to compare two sessions. Review execution evidence alongside the diff instead of relying only on the final reply.

Can I undo a specific step?

AX Code can restore available file snapshots at selected steps. Inspect recovery points first: rollback depends on retained snapshots and cannot undo external side effects.

How does AX Code evaluate competing solutions?

Arena implement mode runs candidates in isolated Git worktrees and checks them against your repository tests. Verified candidates rank first; you review the results and decide what to keep. No winner is merged automatically.

Can I use my existing coding CLI as a provider?

Yes. AX Code supports Claude Code, Codex CLI, Muse Code CLI and Grok Build CLI as providers, reusing their local login/session. Combine your chosen provider with skills, project checks and session review. Adapter capabilities vary; measure coding improvements on your own tasks.

Is AX Code free?

AX Code runtime downloads and the public SDK are free. Source code is available on GitHub. Existing Apache-2.0 and third-party licenses apply. Model-provider usage may be billed separately.

Does my code stay on my computer?

Local inference processes model requests on your machine. Cloud providers, connected tools, and network commands can transmit data. Your chosen configuration determines the data flow; local inference alone does not mean every action is offline.
