drift

Terminal-first, chat-based AutoML. Open source. No tokens. No auth. Works fully local.

Install

pipx install drift-ml

Or with npm (also requires pipx for the CLI):

pipx install drift-ml
npm install -g drift-ml

Run

drift

That's it. On first run, drift downloads and starts the engine automatically. No backend setup. No config.

How it works

• Local-first — Engine runs on your machine. Data never leaves.
• Chat-based — load data.csv, predict price, try something stronger
• Auto-start — Engine downloads and starts in the background. You never touch it.
• No tokens — No API keys for drift. (You need an LLM for training: Ollama, Gemini CLI, etc.)

Example (CLI)

drift › load iris.csv
drift › predict variety
drift › try something stronger
drift › quit

Use as library

pip install drift-ml

from drift import Drift

d = Drift()
d.load("iris.csv")
d.chat("predict sepal length")
result = d.train()
print(result["metrics"])

Philosophy

drift should feel like git, docker, brew — a tool you trust immediately. Zero friction. Open source.
