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 downloads are served from the official site and verified against the canonical GitHub Release. Windows 1.1.4 ships as the validated desktop build; source, portable, and checksum assets come from one CI pipeline and one release manifest.
Canonical release: GitHub Release remains the version authority: GitHub Release v1.1.4. The official site may mirror those exact assets byte-for-byte from the same CI pipeline.
Windows 1.1.4: the primary download is a tested installer executable with uninstall support and Start Menu integration. A portable ZIP and SHA256 sums are published for verification.
Setup Flow: install FORGE Desktop first, then complete account registration and provider setup from the private portal or inside Desktop.
macOS / Linux: native public packages are not part of the 1.1.4 release set yet. Use the source archive while those tracks are validated. View all releases.
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.
