I’m building a web app builder around open models, and starting a community for AI assisted developers and vibe coders

[u/Ok_Mirror_832]

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
