Local Models

How local models should fit Coven through harnesses that talk to local runtimes such as Ollama or llama.cpp.

1 min read

Local models are a natural fit for Coven, but they should still arrive through the harness boundary.

Examples of future local-model paths:

  • A harness CLI that talks to Ollama.
  • A harness CLI that talks to llama.cpp.
  • A custom adapter that runs a local model-backed agent process.

Current posture

Local models are not a special daemon credential feature. The daemon should not grow provider-specific model routing just because the provider is local.

The same rules apply:

  • Stable harness id.
  • Fixed adapter command shape.
  • Project-root and working-directory validation.
  • PTY supervision.
  • Session ledger and event log.
  • No secret fields in the socket API.

For adapter requirements, see Custom adapters and Models.
