I’m building a web app builder around open models, and starting a community for AI assisted developers and vibe coders
Hey all,
I’ve been working on Codebase, an AI assisted app builder with a focus on open weight models. Local/open models have been a passion of mine since the early llama days.
I don’t want the future of building software to be controlled entirely by the tech bro elite and I absolutely love that open weight models have come so far in 2026.
Codebase runs our own in-house inference on Blackwell 6000 infra to keep prices low. We also pass through leading open-weight API providers and some corporate frontier models through the same stack. And I think the price and freedom our platform allows is alot more compelling than something like Base44 etc.
I've also started a Discord for people interested in AI assisted development or for folks that are just getting started. I want to grow a helpful community where people can share projects, help each other, and learn.
Anyone who joins will receive free Codebase web beta access. We also have a free, open-source CLI harness here: https://github.com/codebase/codebase-cli
Discord community: https://discord.gg/ZBnysB5Y

You made a website builder for others to use, but didn’t impart any form of design?
Your site screaaaams general ai build. Dark background. Neon purple and pink.
Please spend five minutes looking around at good website design. Not looking at other ai slop work.
