Your IDE.
Your model.
Your rules.
Hypex is an agentic IDE built on Code OSS. Bring any model — Claude, GPT-5, Qwen, DeepSeek, GLM — and ship real work without an AI assistant refusing your job.

TBD — published with release notes An IDE that actually helps you ship.
Four things we refused to compromise on.
Developer-first, not nannied
The agent cooperates on real engineering work: reverse engineering, security research, scrapers, automation. No hand-wringing about legitimate technical tasks.
Multi-model BYOK
Plug any provider. Switch per task. Claude Opus for deep refactors, Qwen3-Coder for bulk edits, DeepSeek-V3 for cost. Your key, your bill, your choice.
Free in BYOK, €15 for Pro
Core IDE and agent are free forever when you bring your own key. Pro unlocks cloud sync, the MCP marketplace, and priority support — no per-seat tax.
Built for drivers and C++
First-class MSBuild, .vcxproj, WDK and kernel-mode support on the roadmap. The only agentic IDE that understands what a device stack is.
The kind of code that
generic assistants refuse.
Hypex is shaped around the fields where AI tools routinely get in the way. If your daily work looks like this, you're home.
Kernel drivers
used forKMDF, WDM, IRQL-aware edits. The agent knows when to keep paged pool out of a DISPATCH_LEVEL path.
Security research
used forWrite PoCs for CVEs, fuzz harnesses, exploit primitives — on binaries you own or have authorization for.
Game development
used forUnity, Unreal, Godot, shader code. Mod single-player games, build tools, automate pipelines.
Embedded C++
used forARM Cortex, ESP32, STM32. Memory-constrained code review and peripheral-aware refactors.
Reverse engineering
used forDisassembly analysis, IDA/Ghidra output triage, protocol reconstruction. Clean technical work.
Data engineering
used forAirflow, dbt, Spark, DuckDB. Pipelines that actually run, not glossy notebooks.
Not in this list? If it's legitimate professional work, Hypex is for you too.
Choose your model. Switch any time.
Hypex is provider-neutral. Paste an API key, pick a model per task, or route everything through OpenRouter. Your keys stay local — they never touch our servers.
Best for deep refactors, reasoning, and long contexts.
Frontier general-purpose reasoning and tool use.
Open-weight models at a fraction of the price. One key, 200+ models.
Run models on your own hardware. No data ever leaves your machine.
The honest comparison.
No asterisks. Here's where Hypex sits next to the usual suspects.

Questions, answered straight.
No marketing, no lawyer-speak.
Is Hypex a fork of VS Code?
Do I need to pay for AI models?
Is Hypex permissive on technical work?
When will Hypex be available?
Can I use my existing VS Code extensions?
Does it support driver and kernel development?
What about privacy?
Is my API key safe?
Why BYOK instead of a flat-rate plan?
What if my project contains sensitive code?
Can I self-host everything?
How is this different from tricks to bend the model?
