Praex

Freemium

Open-source AI coding copartner with its own Velox, Faber and Lucia models, available in terminal, mobile and web.

Own Model Family: Velox II, Faber II and Lucia II are tuned and served by Praex on its own infrastructure, sized from quick edits to frontier-scale problems.
Terminal CLI: Install with a one-line script and let the agent read files, run commands, edit code and verify tests directly in your terminal.
Cross-Device Sessions: Start a task in the terminal, steer it from your phone and review it on the web with the same agent, memory and session.
Bring Your Own Keys: Run Praex on any model with your own API keys or hardware at no extra cost.
Open-Source Core: The CLI is an MIT-licensed fork of opencode, so the agent harness can be inspected and modified.
No Sign-Up Chat: Start chatting on the web with the free Velox II model without creating an account.

Fixing Failing Builds: Hand the agent a broken deploy and let it read configs, run tests and patch source until tests pass.
Everyday Quick Edits: Use the free Velox II model for instant answers and small code changes in the terminal.
Deep Reasoning Tasks: Escalate to Faber II on Pro for complex coding and multi-step reasoning.
Mobile Task Steering: Kick off a refactor at your desk and monitor or redirect it from your phone.
Self-Hosted Workflows: Point the CLI at your own models or keys to keep code on infrastructure you control.
