13
+ # Aris Server
14
+
15
+ Run open-weight models on your Mac and use them from Claude Code, Aris Code, or anything else that
16
+ speaks the Anthropic Messages API.
17
+
18
+ ```bash
19
+ uv tool install git+https://github.com/kennysarnoski-jarvis/aris-server
20
+ aris-server serve --model mlx-community/Qwen3.5-9B-MLX-8bit
21
+ ```
22
+
23
+ Then point Claude Code at it:
24
+
25
+ ```bash
26
+ ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8484 ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=local claude
27
+ ```
28
+
29
+ Claude Code assumes a 200k-token window and compacts its conversation about 33k tokens short of the
30
+ window it's given. A local model's window is whatever fits beside its weights, so tell Claude Code
31
+ what it is: the server logs it at startup, and `/v1/models` lists it as `context_window`. With
32
+ `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS` set to it, the conversation compacts before the server's limit:
33
+
34
+ ```bash
35
+ CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS=124928 ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8484 ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=local claude
36
+ ```
37
+
38
+ ## Aris 3.8-27B
39
+
40
+ Aris 3.8-27B is built in as `aris-3.8-27b`. It's Aris's coding-agent fine-tune of
41
+ [Arete-27B](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Arete-27B) by Nous Research, which is built on
42
+ [Qwen3.8-27B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B) by the Qwen team at Alibaba Cloud. `pull`
43
+ picks the best build this Mac can hold, before anything big downloads, and downloads it:
44
+
45
+ ```bash
46
+ aris-server pull aris-3.8-27b
47
+ aris-server serve --model aris-3.8-27b
48
+ ```
49
+
50
+ The 8-bit build takes 27 GB, so it needs a Mac with 48 GB of memory or more, where it has about
51
+ 125k tokens of context. Its [model card](https://huggingface.co/YourAris/Aris-3.8-27B-MLX-8bit) has
52
+ the details and evals.
53
+
54
+ ## Why not Ollama?
55
+
56
+ Aris Server does one job: serve a local model to coding agents properly.
57
+
58
+ - **Native `/v1/messages`.** Thinking, tool calls and text stream as real Anthropic events from
59
+ the first byte, with pings while a long prompt is read or a long tool call is written, so clients
60
+ never time out on silence, and a client that hangs up stops its generation.
61
+ - **Effort that works.** Claude Code's effort setting reaches models that have trained effort
62
+ levels.
63
+ - **A think budget.** Reasoning models that overthink get their thinking closed at the end of
64
+ the current line once they pass the budget for the requested effort, so they answer instead of
65
+ burning every token deliberating.
66
+ - **Claude Code's tool search.** Deferred tools stay out of the prompt until the agent loads them.
67
+ - **Fast on Apple Silicon.** Built on [MLX](https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx) and mlx-lm:
68
+ continuous batching and a prompt cache that keeps the system prompt warm across conversations.
69
+
70
+ ## Models
71
+
72
+ Any MLX model folder or Hugging Face repo that mlx-lm can load works by name. To give a model a
73
+ short name, effort mapping or think budgets, add it to `~/.aris-server/models.toml`:
74
+
75
+ ```toml
76
+ [models."arete:27b"]
77
+ path = "~/models/arete-27b-mlx-8bit"
78
+ context = 131072
79
+ effort_kwarg = "reasoning_effort"
80
+ effort_map = { low = "low", medium = "medium", high = "medium", xhigh = "xhigh", max = "xhigh" }
81
+ think_budget = { low = 1024, medium = 4096, high = 8192, xhigh = 16384, max = 0 }
82
+ ```
83
+
84
+ ```bash
85
+ aris-server serve --model arete:27b
86
+ ```
87
+
88
+ A fine-tuned model can ship as a LoRA adapter on top of its base: add `adapter = "~/adapters/expert1"`
89
+ (a folder with `adapter_config.json` and `adapters.safetensors`, as mlx-lm's trainer writes them) to
90
+ a model entry, or pass `--adapter`. Switching between a base model and its adapter is a restart.
91
+
92
+ `kv_bits = 8` in a model entry (or `--kv-bits 8`) keeps the KV cache at 8 bits: about twice the context
93
+ in the same memory. `--kv-bits 16` turns it back to full precision.
94
+
95
+ To serve the best weights each Mac can hold, give `path` a list, best first. Before loading, the server
96
+ works out how much context each would leave on this Mac and loads the first that leaves `min_context`
97
+ tokens (65536 unless set), or else the one that leaves the most. Hugging Face repos are sized from the
98
+ Hub before anything downloads, so a Mac only ever fetches weights it can run:
99
+
100
+ ```toml
101
+ [models."arete:27b"]
102
+ path = ["~/models/arete-27b-mlx-8bit", "~/models/arete-27b-mlx-4bit"]
103
+ kv_bits = 8
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ With the 8-bit KV cache, Arete-27B's 8-bit weights leave about 124k tokens of context on a 48 GB Mac and
107
+ more than the model's whole context on a 64 GB one. A 32 GB Mac can't hold them and gets the 4-bit
108
+ weights, with about 63k.
109
+
110
+ ## Run it as a service
111
+
112
+ ```bash
113
+ aris-server service install -- --model aris-3.8-27b
114
+ aris-server service status
115
+ aris-server service uninstall
116
+ ```
117
+
118
+ `aris-server pull --json` reports each step of a download as a JSON line, for apps that set the
119
+ server up for their users. `aris-server models` lists configured and built-in models.
120
+
121
+ The service starts at login and restarts the server within seconds of any exit (it exits on purpose
122
+ if the GPU runs out of memory). Saved prompt caches mean the conversation picks up where it left off;
123
+ they take up to 20 GB of disk, all models together (`--disk-cache-gb`). Logs go to
124
+ `~/.aris-server/server.log`.
125
+
126
+ ## Status
127
+
128
+ Early. macOS on Apple Silicon only. See [docs/design.md](docs/design.md) for what's in and out.

+ # Aris Server
2
+
3
+ Run open-weight models on your Mac and use them from Claude Code, Aris Code, or anything else that
4
+ speaks the Anthropic Messages API.
5
+
6
+ ```bash
7
+ uv tool install git+https://github.com/kennysarnoski-jarvis/aris-server
8
+ aris-server serve --model mlx-community/Qwen3.5-9B-MLX-8bit
9
+ ```
10
+
11
+ Then point Claude Code at it:
12
+
13
+ ```bash
14
+ ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8484 ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=local claude
15
+ ```
16
+
17
+ Claude Code assumes a 200k-token window and compacts its conversation about 33k tokens short of the
18
+ window it's given. A local model's window is whatever fits beside its weights, so tell Claude Code
19
+ what it is: the server logs it at startup, and `/v1/models` lists it as `context_window`. With
20
+ `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS` set to it, the conversation compacts before the server's limit:
21
+
22
+ ```bash
23
+ CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS=124928 ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8484 ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=local claude
24
+ ```
25
+
26
+ ## Aris 3.8-27B
27
+
28
+ Aris 3.8-27B is built in as `aris-3.8-27b`. It's Aris's coding-agent fine-tune of
29
+ [Arete-27B](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Arete-27B) by Nous Research, which is built on
30
+ [Qwen3.8-27B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B) by the Qwen team at Alibaba Cloud. `pull`
31
+ picks the best build this Mac can hold, before anything big downloads, and downloads it:
32
+
33
+ ```bash
34
+ aris-server pull aris-3.8-27b
35
+ aris-server serve --model aris-3.8-27b
36
+ ```
37
+
38
+ The 8-bit build takes 27 GB, so it needs a Mac with 48 GB of memory or more, where it has about
39
+ 125k tokens of context. Its [model card](https://huggingface.co/YourAris/Aris-3.8-27B-MLX-8bit) has
40
+ the details and evals.
41
+
42
+ ## Why not Ollama?
43
+
44
+ Aris Server does one job: serve a local model to coding agents properly.
45
+
46
+ - **Native `/v1/messages`.** Thinking, tool calls and text stream as real Anthropic events from
47
+ the first byte, with pings while a long prompt is read or a long tool call is written, so clients
48
+ never time out on silence, and a client that hangs up stops its generation.
49
+ - **Effort that works.** Claude Code's effort setting reaches models that have trained effort
50
+ levels.
51
+ - **A think budget.** Reasoning models that overthink get their thinking closed at the end of
52
+ the current line once they pass the budget for the requested effort, so they answer instead of
53
+ burning every token deliberating.
54
+ - **Claude Code's tool search.** Deferred tools stay out of the prompt until the agent loads them.
55
+ - **Fast on Apple Silicon.** Built on [MLX](https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx) and mlx-lm:
56
+ continuous batching and a prompt cache that keeps the system prompt warm across conversations.
57
+
58
+ ## Models
59
+
60
+ Any MLX model folder or Hugging Face repo that mlx-lm can load works by name. To give a model a
61
+ short name, effort mapping or think budgets, add it to `~/.aris-server/models.toml`:
62
+
63
+ ```toml
64
+ [models."arete:27b"]
65
+ path = "~/models/arete-27b-mlx-8bit"
66
+ context = 131072
67
+ effort_kwarg = "reasoning_effort"
68
+ effort_map = { low = "low", medium = "medium", high = "medium", xhigh = "xhigh", max = "xhigh" }
69
+ think_budget = { low = 1024, medium = 4096, high = 8192, xhigh = 16384, max = 0 }
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ ```bash
73
+ aris-server serve --model arete:27b
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ A fine-tuned model can ship as a LoRA adapter on top of its base: add `adapter = "~/adapters/expert1"`
77
+ (a folder with `adapter_config.json` and `adapters.safetensors`, as mlx-lm's trainer writes them) to
78
+ a model entry, or pass `--adapter`. Switching between a base model and its adapter is a restart.
79
+
80
+ `kv_bits = 8` in a model entry (or `--kv-bits 8`) keeps the KV cache at 8 bits: about twice the context
81
+ in the same memory. `--kv-bits 16` turns it back to full precision.
82
+
83
+ To serve the best weights each Mac can hold, give `path` a list, best first. Before loading, the server
84
+ works out how much context each would leave on this Mac and loads the first that leaves `min_context`
85
+ tokens (65536 unless set), or else the one that leaves the most. Hugging Face repos are sized from the
86
+ Hub before anything downloads, so a Mac only ever fetches weights it can run:
87
+
88
+ ```toml
89
+ [models."arete:27b"]
90
+ path = ["~/models/arete-27b-mlx-8bit", "~/models/arete-27b-mlx-4bit"]
91
+ kv_bits = 8
92
+ ```
93
+
94
+ With the 8-bit KV cache, Arete-27B's 8-bit weights leave about 124k tokens of context on a 48 GB Mac and
95
+ more than the model's whole context on a 64 GB one. A 32 GB Mac can't hold them and gets the 4-bit
96
+ weights, with about 63k.
97
+
98
+ ## Run it as a service
99
+
100
+ ```bash
101
+ aris-server service install -- --model aris-3.8-27b
102
+ aris-server service status
103
+ aris-server service uninstall
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ `aris-server pull --json` reports each step of a download as a JSON line, for apps that set the
107
+ server up for their users. `aris-server models` lists configured and built-in models.
108
+
109
+ The service starts at login and restarts the server within seconds of any exit (it exits on purpose
110
+ if the GPU runs out of memory). Saved prompt caches mean the conversation picks up where it left off;
111
+ they take up to 20 GB of disk, all models together (`--disk-cache-gb`). Logs go to
112
+ `~/.aris-server/server.log`.
113
+
114
+ ## Status
115
+
116
+ Early. macOS on Apple Silicon only. See [docs/design.md](docs/design.md) for what's in and out.
