There has been a great injustice in the world that needed fixing. Potato computurs like MS-DOS or IRIX machines did not have an LLM client. So, together with my trusty sidekick Claude, we embarked on a quest to fix it. And the result is here. We proudly present Cody, an LLM client for potato computers. Cody can be compiled for DOS, IRIX and even Linux. Cody does not have dependencies, besides craving for attention.
