Vexp

Local-first context engine for AI coding agents

Visit site ↗Alternativestop 4% of March 2026

What it does

vexp gives your AI coding agent only the code that matters. It indexes your codebase into a dependency graph locally (Rust, tree-sitter, SQLite) and serves ranked context via MCP. Instead of reading entire files, the agent gets the relevant functions in full and connected symbols as skeletonized signatures. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and 9 more agents. 30 languages. Session memory with staleness detection. Zero cloud, zero network calls. Your code never leaves your machine.

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
