About Open Interpreter
Open Interpreter is an open-source coding agent for open models such as Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3. It is a fork of OpenAI's Codex that emulates agent harnesses for low-cost models.
It starts in the terminal with i or interpreter, runs commands inside native sandboxing on macOS, Linux, and Windows, and works with ACP-compatible editors and the Codex exec protocol. It keeps user-authored data in readable files such as AGENTS.md and shared skills directories, with configuration and runtime state under ~/.openinterpreter.
Key features
- Start terminal session with i or interpreter command
- Switch active harness with /harness, including kimi-code and others
- Switch providers and models from TUI with /model
- Run commands inside native sandboxing on macOS, Linux, Windows
- Connect to ACP-compatible editors via interpreter acp launch
- Operate web and native apps via QA skill using agent-browser, trycua
Best for: Developers who want to use open language models as coding agents in the terminal and existing editor setups.
