Tutorial
Local-first agents with Ollama
DX May 12, 2026 7 min read
A guide to running XR entirely offline with open-weight models — no cloud, no telemetry, no keys.
XR 3.1 G represents a culmination of lessons learned from millions of agent runs, thousands of developer feedback sessions, and deep investment in a coherent runtime architecture rather than a patchwork of wrappers.
What’s new
We’ve rewritten the core in Rust to drive cold starts below 10ms, redesigned the skill graph to make composition first-class, and shipped a model router that understands cost, latency, and capability tradeoffs.
What’s next
Expect faster local models, richer multi-agent orchestration, and deeper editor integrations over the coming year. We’re just getting started.
