It wrote itself.
All 1.17 million lines of DeTars — running on your own machine — were written by its own engine. An unreliable AI can't build a working copy of itself. That's why you can trust it with real work.
· Every number here is countable in the codebase — not slide-deck rhetoric
Today's model is a brilliant but unreliable intern.
Dazzling in flashes — but it forgets, fakes completion, and crashes halfway. Nobody hands real work to something unreliable. DeTars turns it into a team you trust with the real thing.
Toss it one line. It runs the rest for you.
It thinks for itself
Give it a goal — ‘research three competitors this quarter, deliver a sourced report.’ It breaks the work down, spins up specialists, tracks their progress, and hands back a finished draft. The how is reasoned on the spot, not a hard-wired script.
It doesn't fall over
Real work runs for hours: flaky networks, rate limits, sleeping laptops. Most tools lose hours to a single hiccup. DeTars treats trouble as a fact — back off, retry, continue; reboot and it resumes. Let it run overnight; check results in the morning.
It can't fake it
AI's worst trick: swearing it's ‘done’ when it isn't; citing a source that never existed. DeTars makes ‘done’ a receipt it must honor — delivered or not, backed by evidence or not. Every citation is sealed; change one character and it's instantly void.
It's yours — and no one can take it
It lives on your own machine and learns you over time. But everything it remembers about you needs your nod first; that memory is a file on your disk, not an account on someone's server. No one can brick it with a notice the way Rewind or Humane did.
It evolves itself
It hunts its own bugs into permanent regression coverage, reorganizes its own memory, and — when a task needs a capability it lacks — generates, installs, and manages its own tools and skills. Every version is harder to beat than the last.
It doesn't burn your budget
Long unattended tasks usually mean huge bills. DeTars routes to keep the model's KV / prompt cache hot, so repeated context isn't paid for twice — far fewer tokens per task, and cheaper as model prices fall. Let it run all night without watching the meter.
We don't just say it can do hard work — it produced itself.
An unreliable AI can't write 1.17M lines of working code. The product itself is the ultimate proof of what it can do — and the number is countable in the codebase, on the spot.
DeTars is your permanent third-party terminal.
Yours, not rented.
A private AI team you own — always on, commandable from any chat window, and one that comes back to you on its own.
