AI TOOL DETAILS
Wavefunction
The project explicitly supports locally run models, so coding can avoid a paid API path.
Wavefunction
Free local app · model and hardware separate
What does it cost?
The listed option is free to use. Hosting or model usage may still cost money.
The free MIT app supports local models. Provider-backed models are billed through the selected provider. No weights are bundled; their licenses, storage, and device requirements are separate. Apple Silicon/macOS is required. No model weights are bundled. A compatible local model such as Ollama's qwen2.5-coder:7b is listed under Apache-2.0 at 4.7GB; confirm model compatibility and its license separately. Hardware, model download/storage, and electricity remain user costs. Optional hosted or API inference may be billed.

Installation and setup
- Check the official README for macOS requirements, installation, and currently supported model providers.
- Install Wavefunction from its official release or documented build path.
- Choose one of the documented local models and download its weights from a source whose license you have reviewed.
- Test on a throwaway code folder; provider-backed models require the selected provider’s account and may be billed.
Local models avoid provider API charges. Provider routes, model weights, hardware, disk, and electricity are separate costs.
