## What is guIDE?
18+
19+
**guIDE** is a full-featured, AI-native code editor built from the ground up — not a fork, not a wrapper, not an extension. It runs AI models **directly on your hardware** using local LLM inference, so you never hit rate limits, never need a subscription, and never send your code to someone else's server.
20+
21+
Frustrated by rate limits on Cursor? Tired of monthly subscriptions for Windsurf? guIDE is the answer.
22+
23+
## Why guIDE?
24+
25+
| Problem | guIDE's Solution |
26+
|---------|-----------------|
27+
| Rate limits at 2am when you're in the zone | **Unlimited local inference** — your GPU, your rules |
28+
| $20/month subscriptions that add up | **$9.99 one-time payment** — own it forever |
29+
| Code sent to cloud servers | **100% local processing** — your code never leaves your machine |
30+
| Limited to one AI provider | **8+ cloud providers** + local models — use whatever works |
31+
| Extensions that break or conflict | **Built-in AI from day one** — no extensions needed for AI features |
32+
33+
