Why Verdict
Every other AI coding tool rents you intelligence. Verdict gives you your own.
Verdict ships with its own coding models. They run on your machine — unlimited, private, yours. And when a problem deserves frontier power, 90+ certified cloud models are one click and one published price away.
Own your AI
Yours means yours.
When the models live on your machine, the things that make other tools painful simply stop existing.
Never hit a limit
No quotas, no rate limits, no five-hour windows. Your hardware sets the pace — all day, every day.
Code all day for $0
Local and LAN models are free forever. Not trial-free, not starter-tier free. Free.
Private by physics
The model comes to your code — your code never has to leave your machine to get world-class help.
Works on an airplane
Fully capable offline, out of the box. No connection, no problem — you're still coding.
Can't be taken away
No price hikes, no silent model swaps, no deprecation notices. The AI you have today is yours tomorrow.
Frontier power on tap
90+ certified cloud models, plus bring-your-own-key at cost. One click, published prices, your call.
474 tok · 53 in / 421 out · 51.3 tok/s · 8.3 s · 0.0829 Wh · Free (local)One real response from a 4B model on an Apple-silicon laptop. Every successful request shows its real cost — and with local models, that cost is zero.
It finishes the job
Describe it once. Get it done.
Verdict works the way you wish a contractor would: a plan you can approve in thirty seconds, the whole job done, and proof it works when it's finished.
It plans first
A short, plain-language plan you approve at the idea level. Steer once, up front — not a hundred corrections after.
It does the whole job
Builds the change, keeps it tight and surgical, runs your tests, and iterates until they're green.
It proves it
What lands in your hands is finished: tests passing, results attached, cost shown. Done means done.

Your rules
