Open-source desktop AI operator for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Connects to free models across the world, chooses the strongest path, and runs locally.
English-first. Multilingual by design.
FORGE should present like a real desktop product. Windows now ships as a tested installer executable with real workspace selection, execution controls, and verified file-plus-shell development missions. macOS and Linux remain starter tracks until their native bundles reach the same validation bar.
Windows: the Windows download is now a tested installer executable with uninstall support and Start Menu integration.
Setup Flow: install FORGE Desktop first, then complete account registration and provider setup from the private portal or inside Desktop.
macOS / Linux: these tracks remain starter bundles and still expect a local Python runtime.
Not another wrapper. FORGE is the only agent that truly owns its intelligence — no vendor lock-in, no bills, no ceiling.
Real-time benchmark of every available model. Each task gets routed to the best performing free model at that exact moment — speed, accuracy, quota — all weighed automatically.
Model Intelligence ScoringTracks free tier limits across 20+ providers simultaneously. When one quota hits zero, FORGE seamlessly rotates to the next. Zero downtime. Zero interruption. Zero cost.
Self-Healing APIsEvery 24 hours, FORGE crawls HuggingFace, OpenRouter, and every known provider to find newly released free models. It adds them, benchmarks them, and uses them — without you touching anything.
Auto-Evolution EngineNot just conversation history. FORGE builds a knowledge graph about you, your projects, your preferences — growing smarter with every interaction. Across sessions. Across tasks.
Memory GraphWrites and executes code. Searches the web. Manages files. Plans multi-step tasks end-to-end. Not a chatbot with tools — a real autonomous agent with full system access.
Full AutonomyMIT licensed. No cloud dependency. Runs 100% on your machine. The community adds providers, plugins, and improvements daily. No company can ever shut it down or charge for it.
