Install

macOS

Download the repo into Binary Ninja’s plugin folder, then run pip install -r requirements.txt in it

Windows

Download the repo into Binary Ninja’s plugin folder, then run pip install -r requirements.txt in it

Linux

Download the repo into Binary Ninja’s plugin folder, then run pip install -r requirements.txt in it

Then set its API host to your local server, for example http://localhost:11434 for Ollama. Its README uses gpt-oss:20b as the example.

14 models on this site run in BinAssist

Models tagged for reverse engineering that follow instructions, with a GGUF or MLX build to serve locally. Raw decompilers such as LLM4Decompile run on their own in llama.cpp or LM Studio instead.

Which app should I use?

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
