We've been experimenting with small models for structured tool calling tasks and just released gitara. Both the 3B and 1B models turn natural language instructions into valid git commands and run fully locally through Ollama.

Highlights:

1/ Same accuracy as a 120B GPT-OSS 2/ Runs on your laptop using Ollama 3/ <1.5 seconds response time

Examples: - “undo last commit but keep changes” → `git reset --soft HEAD~1` - “what is in the latest stash, show diff” → `git stash show --patch` - “show 8 commits as a graph” → `git log -n 8 --graph`

The repo includes the code, tool schema, examples, and evaluation method.
