About Magnitude

Magnitude is an open source inference engine that tunes its kernels on your hardware to find the fastest way to run each model. It's over 2x faster than Ollama and works on Apple Silicon, NVIDIA, AMD, or just a CPU. One click connects it to the agent you already use (Pi, OpenCode, Hermes, Codex, and more)
