Jebi launches local AI Mac terminal

Jebi joins a growing movement of developer tools rejecting cloud dependencies and subscription fees in favor of local-first AI. By running model inference entirely on-device, it offers zero-latency workflow assistance while guaranteeing complete codebase privacy.

• –**Local-first inference**: Runs Qwen, Phi-3, and Gemma on-device, bypassing API key requirements, internet dependencies, and subscription paywalls.
• –**Context-aware chat**: The `/ask` command references the active terminal session (command history, output, and directories) to debug errors and suggest commands without copy-pasting.
• –**Modern terminal utilities**: Combines AI features with GPU-accelerated WebGL rendering, split panes, tab accent colors, and custom slash commands.
• –**Apple Silicon lock-in**: Restricts availability to Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14+, prioritizing hardware-accelerated local performance over cross-platform compatibility.
