Instead, Codebuff employs a multi-agent system where specialized agents &ndash; a File Picker, a Planner, an Editor, and a Reviewer &ndash; collaborate in a structured pipeline to understand your codebase, plan changes, implement them, and validate the results.</p> <p>Codebuff runs entirely in your terminal and connects to both cloud and local LLMs, including Claude 3.7 Sonnet, OpenAI GPT-4o, Google Gemini 2.0, DeepSeek, and local models via LiteLLM. It is licensed under Apache 2.0 and has been gaining significant traction among developers who want a more structured approach to AI-assisted coding than single-agent alternatives.</p>
