Open Interpreter Review 2026 — Open-Source AI Code Interpreter

Open Interpreter provides a terminal coding agent for inspecting repositories, editing files, running commands, reviewing diffs, and resuming sessions. It supports hosted and local model providers, sandboxing, approvals, MCP servers, skills, and project instructions.

Its desktop app works across documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, browser tabs, and desktop applications. The software itself is open source, but model providers, API usage, and hosted models may cost extra. No official Open Interpreter pricing page was located.
