Roadmap

ArxCode is a private AI code studio. Today it runs on the model you bring; over the rest of 2026 it gains its own. The CLI and the web Studio are live — you describe an outcome, the studio plans, writes, verifies, and returns a finished artifact, with nothing observed, stored, or trained on in between.

This page is the honest version of what's done and what's next, month by month through December 2026. It's a living document — dates are targets that reflect our current plan, not promises. We'd rather ship the right thing a little late than the wrong thing on time.

Status legend

The surfaces

ArxCode is one sealed studio, reachable from several places. Same builds, same guarantees.

• arx-cli — drive sealed builds from your terminal.
• Web Studio — the full studio in the browser.
• arx-app — a native desktop app (macOS first, then Windows).
• arx-ai — our own fine-tuned private code model, runnable in place of a bring-your-own key.
• arx-cloud — managed, hosted sealed compute (December).

Already shipped

The foundation is in place. These are live today — released, hardening as we go.

• arx-cli — sealed builds from the terminal.
• Web Studio — the agentic build loop (plan → act → observe → verify) in the browser.
• File management — full workspace: create, rename, move, delete, live file tree and real diffs.
• Per-file AI edits — prompt a single file (.ts, .go, .md, anything); review the change as a diff, keep or revert.
• Markdown preview with live Mermaid diagram rendering.
• Diagrams — Mermaid flowcharts, sequence, ER, state, gantt — described in a prompt, rendered in-browser.
• Board — a local Excalidraw-style whiteboard for sketching architecture.
• Kanban — a local drag-and-drop task board.
• Command palette (⌘K / ⌘P) — quick-open files and jump anywhere.
• BYO model key — bring Anthropic, Groq, or DeepSeek; swap anytime.
• Workspace persistence — autosave locally and save/load to the cloud.

2026 at a glance

June 2026 — Harden the AI build loop

We're here now. Make the agentic loop sharper and more reliable before widening the surface.

• Build quality — stronger planning, grounded observations, and tighter verify gates across the loop.
• arx-cli parity & polish — the same builds, history, and workspaces as the web Studio.
• arx-ai (research) — begin fine-tuning our own private code model; targeting selectable use in October.
• Studio & arx-cli — monthly update: reliability and loop quality.

July 2026 — Models GA + arx-app for macOS

More model choice, and a real native app.

• Model providers to GA — graduate Anthropic, OpenAI, and DeepSeek out of "coming soon" alongside the free Groq tier.
• arx-app (macOS) — preview — a native desktop app: the full studio, offline-friendly, deep OS integration.
• Cloud workspace sync — end-to-end, with versioned snapshots across surfaces.
• Studio & arx-cli — monthly update: model picker and desktop parity.

August 2026 — arx-app for Windows + verifiable sealing

Reach more machines, and prove the seal.

• arx-app for Windows — a native Windows build of the desktop app.
• Verifiable sealed execution (testnet) — proof that a build ran inside a sealed environment, with nothing retained.
• Bigger context & multi-file edits — broader AI changes across many files in a single pass.
• Studio & arx-cli — monthly update: multi-file edits across both surfaces.

September 2026 — Specialist AI builders

One sealed boundary, more kinds of finished work — every one of them an AI builder.

• ArxAudit (GA) — find vulnerabilities and defects without exposing the source.
• ArxDocs (GA) — turn a codebase or spec into documentation, sealed.
• ArxTest — generate test suites that validate delivered code.
• arx-app GA — macOS and Windows out of preview.
• Studio & arx-cli — monthly update: the new builders wired in.

October 2026 — arx-ai: our own model

The headline AI milestone. Stop depending on outside models for every build — ArxCode gets its own, fine-tuned for the build loop and runnable inside the sealed boundary.

• arx-ai fine-tuning — already underway: a private code model trained for plan → act → verify, diffs, and tests.
• arx-ai in Studio, arx-cli & arx-app — select arx-ai instead of a bring-your-own key.
• Sealed inference — arx-ai runs inside the boundary; your prompts and code are never retained or used to train it.
• Studio & arx-cli — monthly update: arx-ai selectable everywhere.

November 2026 — Scale: more builders & teams

Grow what the studio can do, and how teams use it together.

• ArxData — construct and explain database queries inside the boundary.
• ArxDesign — UI mockups and diagrams as a first-class AI builder.
• Team workspaces — shared workspaces with roles and live collaboration.
• arx-ai v1.1 — quality and speed improvements driven by real usage.
• Studio & arx-cli — monthly update: team features and new builders.

December 2026 — Autonomy & arx-cloud

From "finish this build" to "own this workflow" — powered by arx-ai, and available as a managed cloud.

• arx-cloud — managed, hosted sealed compute: run builds at scale without standing up your own setup.
• ArxAgent — an autonomous worker (driven by arx-ai) that runs multi-step jobs inside the boundary.
• ArxConnect (preview) — a sealed execution layer beneath existing cloud platforms.
• Public API & SDK (beta) — drive the studio programmatically with the same guarantees.
• Studio & arx-cli — monthly update: agent and arx-cloud controls.

Exploring — 2027 and beyond

Directions we're actively thinking about, not yet on a month.

• arx-ai model family — larger and specialist variants (audit, tests, data).
• On-device / edge inference for fully local pre-processing.
• A builder marketplace — share sealed workflows and templates.
• Plugin & extension API — custom builders inside the boundary.
• Mobile — review and approve builds on the go.
