What it does

Coding agent CLI for local and hosted models, designed around small local models first.

Designed around small local models first, so it is careful with context, fails more gracefully, and says when it's stuck. It doesn't make a small model smarter. It makes working with one less frustrating. A real local run of Qwen3.6 35B A3B (Unsloth UD-IQ2_M) via llama.cpp, sped up 3×. The model's first test fails and it fixes it from the error. Then point it at a model server and run reika in a project. Install and first run covers requirements and setup. Old tool output collapses to short summaries and requests stay append-only, so a slow local engine's prompt cache survives. Repeated reads and runaway reasoning are detected and stopped, ending in an honest stop instead of a long spiral.…from reikacode.com
