Our verdict on Bandit Stealth

Bandit Stealth is an open-source AI coding agent for developers and small teams working in VS Code, Cursor, a terminal CLI, or its standalone desktop IDE. It explores and searches codebases, plans changes, edits multiple files, runs shell commands and tests, and presents proposed edits through a unified-diff approval workflow. The product supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, with local, cloud, self-hosted, and desktop deployment options.

Its strongest distinction is model flexibility. Local Ollama support lets users run the agent on their own machine, while OpenAI-compatible endpoints extend compatibility to services and tools including LM Studio, vLLM, OpenRouter, Together, and Groq. Bandit Cloud is also available as an optional provider. Local use is available without a subscription, making the product a fit for teams that want to keep code on the user’s machine while choosing their own model endpoint.

The coding workflow combines agent mode, codebase indexing, terminal access, multi-file editing, and explicit diff approval instead of treating chat as the entire interface. Its desktop IDE adds Git integration, while the integrated terminal CLI supports command-driven work. The trade-off is a narrower focus: Bandit Stealth is built around code exploration and repository changes, with support centered on email and documentation. Choose it if local model access, provider choice, and approval-based editing matter most. Teams seeking a broader integration suite or a more extensive support model should consider alternatives.
