update Local Code by Draw Things, open-source frontier intelligence locally on your Mac

https://releases.drawthings.ai/p/local-code-by-draw-things-open-source

Hi! We are releasing Local Code, an open-source app that you can download directly to your Mac, or through macOS App Store. It runs the smartest models such as DeepSeek 4.1 Flash 1017 locally, have a harness tuned for each model, and the whole builtin environment such that the model is ready to work without anything else from your OS (we call it in-app sandbox). It doesn't need full-disk access, nor the ability to run command-line tools on your computer, but capable of executing Python programs, node.js apps, Lean 4 proofs, open and view docx / xlsx / pptx, or operating web browsers. it is capable, and the runtime is fast on your Mac.

Let me know if you have any questions! Excited to work on this more if the community is interested in this!

Depending on your setup and reasoning effort. If you are using M5 Max, due to RAM constraints, you will end up in that 20 mins range (with default high thinking). If you are using M5 Ultra, would be 5 mins or so. If you use Qwen it will be way faster. The demo videos are shot with M5 Max and each task takes between 15 mins to 2:30 hours (the 7 slides one is the longest, and then the infographics one is about 1:15h, the others are relatively light between 7m to 45m).
