Open Interpreter
A coding agent for low-cost models.
> [!NOTE]
> This is the new Rust version of Open Interpreter. Looking for the original Python project? It lives on as a community-maintained fork at [endolith/open-interpreter](https://github.com/endolith/open-interpreter).
### Installation
macOS and Linux:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://www.openinterpreter.com/install | sh
```
Windows:
```powershell
irm https://www.openinterpreter.com/install.ps1 | iex
```
Then type `i` or `interpreter` in your terminal to start a session.
### Harness Emulation
Open Interpreter is a fork of OpenAI's Codex, with a focus on emulating the agent harness that gets the best performance out of low-cost models.
Use `/harness` to switch the active harness:
```text
> /harness
native
claude-code
claude-code-bare
kimi-cli
qwen-code
deepseek-tui
swe-agent
minimal
```
Read more in the [harness docs](https://www.openinterpreter.com/docs/terminal/harness) and [model provider docs](https://www.openinterpreter.com/docs/terminal/providers).
### Computer Use
Open Interpreter ships with a QA skill that lets any model operate and test interfaces. It can drive web apps in a real browser with [agent-browser](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser), or operate and test native apps with [trycua](https://github.com/trycua/cua).
### Features
- Runs commands inside native sandboxing on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
- Switches providers and models from the TUI with `/model`.
- Inspects or switches Rust-native model harnesses with `/harness`.
- Tests web and native apps through the built-in QA skill.
- Runs as an [Agent Client Protocol](https://agentclientprotocol.com/) agent for editors with `interpreter acp`.
- Keeps config and session state local under `~/.openinterpreter`.
- Supports `exec`, MCP, skills, hooks, permissions, and `AGENTS.md`.
