Ofradr's Local AI Support
Ofradr integrates with local models like Llama, Mistral, and CodeLlama. Run powerful AI coding assistance without any internet connection.
Why offline matters for coding assistance
Many assessment environments block or monitor outbound network traffic, and some candidates simply don't want their screen content sent to a cloud service. An offline assistant solves both: nothing leaves your machine, and there's no network signal to flag.
Ofradr supports local models such as Llama and Mistral, so it can run entirely on-device. You get real-time help with no internet dependency and full privacy.
- Works where outbound traffic is blocked or watched
- Screen content and prompts stay on your machine
- No latency from cloud round-trips
- Choose your own local model (Llama, Mistral, and more)
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an AI coding assistant that works offline?
Yes. Ofradr runs with local models like Llama and Mistral, so it provides real-time coding help with no internet connection and keeps all data on your device.
Is an offline AI assistant more private?
Yes. Because nothing is sent to a server, your screen content and prompts never leave your computer, which is both more private and harder to detect on a monitored network.
