Your IDE. Your model. Your rules.

Agentic IDE built on Code OSS. Bring any model — hosted, local, or your own Claude Code session. Built for the work that other tools refuse to help with: drivers, reverse engineering, embedded C++.

01 · Principles

Built by developers who do real work.

Four ideas we refuse to compromise on. If another tool has made you feel stupid or lectured today, you'll recognize these.

Developer-first, no lectures

When you ask for an IOCTL handler or a packer unpacker, Hypex writes it. No disclaimers, no refusals on legitimate technical work. Just code.

IOCTL handlers DKOM research Anti-cheat internals Packer analysis

Multi-model BYOK

Plug in Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, Qwen, or your own self-hosted endpoint. Switch per-task. Route reasoning to Claude, codegen to GPT-5, cheap edits to local Qwen.

Anthropic OpenAI Google xAI DeepSeek Ollama vLLM

Free with BYOK. €15 for Pro.

Core is free forever when you bring your own keys. Pro adds cloud settings sync, the MCP marketplace, and priority model routing. No seat-based enterprise tax.

€0 with BYOK, forever
€15 /seat, Pro

Built for drivers & C++

First-class WDK awareness, MSBuild integration, compile_commands.json, clangd LSP, ASAN/UBSAN-aware test runs. Debug across kernel and user-mode without leaving the editor.

02 · Use cases

Built for serious work.

If you're doing something that requires reading MSDN for three hours and a PE loader, we built this for you.

Kernel drivers

KMDF, WDM, NDIS, storport. Agent understands IRPs, IOCTLs, IRQL, PAGED vs NONPAGED pool.

KMDF · WDK · MSBuild · WinDbg

Security research

CVE triage, exploit development, fuzz corpus curation, patch diffing. Writes what you need.

Ghidra · IDA · afl-fuzz · radare2

Game development

Unreal C++, custom engines, shader debugging, ECS scaffolding. Knows DirectX, Vulkan, Metal.

Unreal · DirectX · Vulkan · HLSL

Embedded C++

ARM Cortex-M, ESP32, FreeRTOS, Zephyr. Cross-compile, OpenOCD, SEGGER RTT, no-std aware.

STM32 · Zephyr · PlatformIO · GDB

Reverse engineering

Decompilation cleanup, structure recovery, YARA rules, packer unpacking, symbol recovery.

Ghidra · Binary Ninja · YARA · Frida

Data engineering

Spark, DuckDB, Iceberg, dbt, Airflow. SQL across 12 dialects. Schema migrations with tests.

03 · Models

Three ways to bring your own.

We don't lock you to one provider or charge a markup on tokens. Route to whichever model makes sense for the task at hand.

Hosted APIs

Bring your API keys

Direct connection to major providers. Your keys, your rate limits, your invoices. No proxying through us.

07 · FAQ

Questions, answered.

Hypex is built on Code OSS — the open-source codebase Microsoft publishes at github.com/microsoft/vscode. We maintain extension compatibility, ship our own builds under Apache-2.0, and don't use the proprietary Microsoft marketplace.
No. Telemetry is off by default. When you use BYOK, your prompts go directly from your machine to the provider of your choice; we never see them. Our servers only handle Pro account sync, which is encrypted at rest.
Tools trained with heavy RLHF tend to refuse or hedge on code that looks like it could touch security boundaries — even when you're the vendor writing your own driver. Hypex ships with prompting and routing defaults that treat legitimate low-level work as legitimate.
If you already subscribe to Claude Pro or Max, Hypex can drive the agent through your existing Claude Code session instead of making you buy Anthropic API credits separately. One subscription, two surfaces.
Yes. Point Hypex at a local Ollama, vLLM, or llama.cpp endpoint and disable cloud sync. The editor itself requires no network calls after install. Ideal for regulated, classified, or IP-sensitive work.
Most will. We use the Open VSX registry and support the same extension API. Extensions that ship closed-source binaries tied to Microsoft's marketplace (a small fraction) may not install; we surface compatible alternatives where possible.
macOS 13+ (Apple Silicon & Intel), Windows 10/11 x64, and Linux (Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/Arch, x64 & arm64). Windows WDK integration ships in v1.0.
Yes. hypex is installable via Homebrew, apt, and winget. It runs headless agent tasks, integrates with shell pipelines, and shares configuration with the GUI editor.

Real quotes, coming soon.

We're still in closed beta. Instead of fake testimonials, here's what we're waiting to hear back on — pulled from our design brief.

Real quote coming soon. We're asking beta testers who ship Windows drivers whether Hypex actually unblocked work that Cursor refused.

Real quote coming soon. Embedded C++ teams running local models on air-gapped machines are in the first cohort. We'll quote them when they're ready.

Real quote coming soon. Solo devs using their own Claude Code subscription inside Hypex — zero markup — are the heart of the BYOK story. Their words land here.
