Show HN: TERMy – A fast terminal assistant that does not use LLMs
Summary
The post documents TERMy, a fast, deterministic terminal assistant that does not rely on large language models, built within NPC-Forge. It outlines the experimentation with local models, a custom dataset format (NDF 0.0), and a minimal NLU pipeline, plus integration with Copilot, highlighting speed, safety, and edge-device practicality. The piece advocates a shift toward deterministic agents for simple terminal tasks to save compute and improve responsiveness.
