## What is ARIA? ARIA (Autonomous Reasoning and Intelligent Agent) is a free, open-source CLI coding agent that works with any Ollama model - local or cloud. ## What makes it different? AST Pre-Validation - catches Python errors before running code. Deterministic layer, no hallucination possible here. RAG + Web Search - when stuck on an error, searches real Stack Overflow and Loop Detection + Pivot - if the same error repeats 3 times, ARIA automatically abandons the approach and tries something completely different.
