tt-studio: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

tt-studio CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from tenstorrent/tt-studio. It costs 1,571 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project guide for TT-Studio, a web interface for running artificial-intelligence models on Tenstorrent hardware. It describes the frontend, backend, inference service, agent service, databases, containers, ports, and startup command.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting, deploying, and developing TT-Studio, including its React frontend, Django backend, model inference services, Docker environment, and remote inference connections.
Why use it?
It gives contributors a map of the many services involved and clarifies which parts need local accelerator hardware. This reduces setup errors when running or changing the application.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Cursor.

This is tenstorrent/tt-studio's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on tt-studio itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything tt-studio configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tt-studio CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

TT-Studio

Web interface for running AI models on Tenstorrent hardware. It wraps TT Inference Server's packaging, containerization, and deployment automation around TT-Metal model execution. Full deployment needs a Tenstorrent accelerator (/dev/tenstorrent), but the frontend can also run against remote/cloud inference endpoints with no local hardware.

Use python run.py for everything — startup.sh is deprecated. There are no git submodules; run.py fetches the tt-inference-server artifact.

Architecture & ports

Service Port Runtime What it is
Frontend 3000 Docker (Nginx in prod) React 18 + TypeScript + Vite + Tailwind
Backend 8000 Docker Django REST API via uvicorn (ASGI + Channels/WebSocket)
Inference server 8001 Host FastAPI wrapper over tt-inference-server (inference-api/)
Agent 8080 Docker LLM agent service (app/agent/)
ChromaDB 8111 Docker Vector DB for RAG
Docker control 8002 Host JWT-secured Docker API wrapper (docker-control-service/)

Containers share the tt_studio_network bridge; the backend reaches host services via host.docker.internal. Health checks: backend GET /up/ and GET /models/health/, inference server GET /health, frontend GET /.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
