Excited to share that mm-ctx is now live on @huggingface Spaces! Try it in the browser via an interactive terminal without installing anything: vlm-run-mm-ctx.hf.space mm-ctx – fast, multimodal context for agents. LLM-based agents handle text fine, but as soon as a directory contains images, videos, or PDFs with visual content, they struggle to understand the full context. mm-ctx is meant to feel familiar: the Unix tools we already love (find/cat/grep/wc), rebuilt for file types LLMs can't read natively and designed to work with agents via the CLI. - mm grep "invoice #1234" ~/Downloads searches across PDFs and returns line-numbered matches - mm cat <document>.pdf returns a metadata description of the file - mm cat <photo>.jpg returns a caption of the photo - mm cat <video>.mp4 returns a caption of the video A few things we obsessed over: ⚡ Speed: Rust core for the hot paths 🏠 Local-first, BYO model: Uses any OpenAI-compatible endpoint: Ollama, vLLM/SGLang, LMStudio with any multimodal LLM (Gemma4, Qwen3.5, GLM-4.6V). 🔗 Composable: stdin + structured outputs 🤖 Drops into any agent via mm-cli-skills: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw. We’d love to hear your feedback! Especially on the CLI and what file types and workflows you would like to see next.
