Authorization notice. Dynolab is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Who it is forA developer who has downloaded an open model and wants a coding agent that runs locally on their Mac.

The problemCoding agents normally send requests to Anthropic or OpenAI servers, which may not suit private code or offline work.

The outcomeA Claude Code or Codex session served by a model on your Mac, with web search available as the README describes.

What you need first

  • An Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 14 or later
  • The Dyno app downloaded from the latest GitHub release
  • An MLX model downloaded through Discover in the app

Steps

  1. Download the Apple Silicon DMG from the latest release, open it and drag Dyno into Applications.
  2. Open Dyno, download an MLX model in Discover, then select and start it in Models.
  3. Run dyno launch claude --model qwen3.8-27b (replace the model name with one you have downloaded).
  4. Or run dyno launch codex --model qwen3.8-27b to use Codex instead.

Prompt for your agent

In the canivel/dynolab repo, read docs/coding-tools.md and launch Claude Code on the downloaded model <model-name> with `dyno launch claude --model <model-name>`. Expected output: a Claude Code session that answers a simple prompt using the model served on this Mac. Verify that the session replies and that the model is the one you started in Dyno Models.

Caveat. Dyno serves the model and speaks each tool's API, but the model's answer quality depends on the model you download, not on Dyno.
