Hello Hacker News! We're Yangqing, Xiang and JJ from lepton.ai. We are building a platform to run any AI models as easy as writing local code, and to get your favorite models in minutes.

Example: ai "find all PNG files larger than 5MB" The AI responds with the appropriate command and asks if you want to execute it. Interactive chat mode: Start a terminal chat session with the AI (ai -i) to iteratively build commands or scripts. Some…

I made a small CLI tool called `c0admin`. Runs locally using your own Gemini API key. No signup, no server, no tracking. You just run `c0admin` in your terminal, and it gives you suggestions interactively.
