If you run locally you can mix and match any anthropic / gemini models. As long as it satisfies this protocol https://github.com/appdotbuild/agent/blob/4e0d4b5ac03cee0548... you can plug in anything. We have a similar wrapper for local LLMs on the roadmap. If you use CLI only - we run claude 4 + gemini on the backend, gemini serving most of the vision tasks (frontend validation) and claude doing core codegen.

Completely agnostic, if you run it locally, we provide a docker compose, if you have other deployment preferences pointing to your DB is a matter of changing env var https://github.com/appdotbuild/agent/blob/main/agent/trpc_ag... We have baseline cursor rules included in case you want to hack on this manually https://github.com/appdotbuild/agent/tree/main/agent/trpc_ag... Where we are tied is the LLM provider - you will need to supply your own keys for Anthropic / Gemini. We did a couple runs on top of Ollama + Gemma - expect support for local LLMs. Can't swear on the timeline, but one of our core contributors recently built a water cooled rig with a bunch of 3090s so my guess is "pretty soon".
