Shipped v0.1.2 of vtx β€” a minimalist coding agent for the terminal.

Most agentic CLIs ship 10k+ token system prompts. Vtx is ~2,200. Less prompt overhead means more room for your code in the model's context window.

Vtx is a from-scratch Python implementation of the design philosophy behind pi-mono β€” same principles, pure Python, no transpiled runtime.

What ships out of the box:

β†’ Textual TUI + headless CLI (vtx -p "fix the failing test")
β†’ 49 LLM provider gateways, all declared in a single provider.yaml
β†’ 5 core tools (read / edit / write / bash / find) plus web search and fetch
β†’ Session tree with compaction, handoff, and resume
β†’ AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md auto-discovery
β†’ Skills system β€” drop SKILL.md files in .agents/skills/ and they become slash commands
β†’ Two OAuth flows (GitHub Copilot device flow, OpenAI Codex PKCE)
β†’ Two-mode permissions: prompt (default) or auto, with a safe-command allowlist

This release adds a proper extension system. Register new LLM-callable tools, intercept tool calls, hook lifecycle events, and add slash commands from a single register(api) function in a Python file under ~/.vtx/agent/extensions/. Extensions can override built-in tools by name and chain handler logic across subscribers.

Apache 2.0. uv tool install vtx-coding-agent and you're running.

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/vtx-coding-agent

Built in the open. Feedback, extensions, and PRs welcome.

πŸš€ Ever dreamed of training your own Large Language Model from scratch? What if I told you it doesn't require a supercomputer or PhD in ML? 🀯

Introducing LLM Trainer - the educational framework that makes LLM training accessible to EVERYONE! Whether you're on a CPU-only laptop or scaling to distributed GPUs, we've got you covered. πŸ’»βž‘οΈπŸ–₯️

Why LLM Trainer? Because existing tools are either too simplistic (hiding the magic) or too complex (requiring expert knowledge). We bridge the gap with:

πŸŽ“ Educational transparency - every component built from scratch with clear code
πŸ’» CPU-first approach - start training immediately, no GPU needed
πŸ”§ Full customization - modify anything you want
πŸ“ˆ Seamless scaling - from laptop to cluster without code changes
🀝 HuggingFace integration - works with existing models & tokenizers

Key highlights:
βœ… Built-in tokenizers (BPE, WordPiece, HF wrappers)
βœ… Complete Transformer implementation from scratch
βœ… Optimized for CPU training
βœ… Advanced features: mixed precision, gradient checkpointing, multiple generation strategies
βœ… Comprehensive monitoring & metrics

Perfect for:
- Students learning transformers
- Researchers prototyping new ideas
- Developers building domain-specific models

Ready to train your first LLM? It's easier than you think!
