Albatross

Terminal-first AI coding agent with transparent multi-model routing, local or cloud, using your own keys.

Desktopfreeglobal

Albatross is a terminal-first AI coding agent that works with either a cloud API key (OpenAI or OpenRouter) or a local model (Ollama, LM Studio, MLX, llama.cpp), using the same tools and session log either way. It shows per-turn cost on the status line when known, lets users switch providers mid-session, and offers a transparent multi-model routing mode that scores available models for a task rather than hiding the choice, for developers who want visibility and control over which model handles their work.
