Grunz: desktop coding agent on abliterated open models

[behrnt-slatgng]

Founder here, so weigh it accordingly.

Grunz is a desktop coding agent for macOS, Windows and Linux. Same shape as a terminal agent — plans a task, edits files across a repo, runs commands, reads output, fixes its own mistakes — except it runs abliterated open-weight models (Qwen, DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi) with the refusal training removed, rather than a frontier model.

The practical reason that matters for agent work isn't edginess: it's that an agent which bails 40 minutes into a refactor because something tripped a classifier is an expensive failure mode.

Honest trade-offs: abliterated variants follow instructions slightly less precisely than their base models, and most hosted open models cap out around 32K context, which an agent loop eats fast. It's a GUI rather than a TUI, so if the terminal is the point, Crush is the better fit.
