Llama Coder at a glance

Checked 16 Oct 2026

Llama Coder is a Next.js web app that turns one prompt (or a screenshot) into a small single-page React app and previews it in a sandboxed browser iframe. Models are open-weight ones served by Together AI (recent commits default to DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and GLM); there is no local-model option. Self-hosting needs a Together AI key, a Postgres database (Neon suggested) and S3 for uploads. It does not build backends, databases or deploy apps. MIT; six contributors; active in October 2026.
