tenere

Why we included this project

Tenere is a terminal chat client for people who would rather stay in the shell than open a browser. Written in Rust, it runs as a keyboard-driven TUI and connects to three backends: OpenAI's ChatGPT API, a local llama.cpp server, and Ollama. That means the same interface works whether you're talking to a hosted model or one running on your own hardware. The vim-style keybindings, syntax highlighting, and the ability to save chats to files and pick up the last session make it feel like a natural extension of your editor. If you already run Ollama or llama.cpp locally, this gives those services a fast, lightweight front end without the weight of a full web app.
