it’s completely free. the use case is if you have a fresh vm and want to skip having to type a bunch of apt install commands / setting up gh and so on. or if you have say opencode or pi but you broke your config. now you have a model that can help bail you out and repair stuff. no api key, it just uses a shared pool of free llms via open router. it’s basically a free minimalist coding harness with free llms to help “bailout” a bad config or a fresh vm into something more useable.

tldr free, no api key needed, just curl bash and then have it help you set up your vm or fix a harness etc. think of this as a primitive harness that helps you bootstrap stuff. the long term hope is that most future unix like systems ship with something like an “llm” command. you have vi or nano on most systems, out of the box. curl and so on. so one day “llm” where you boot up and you have a basic, free, minimalist terminal harness that can bootstrap your system for you. it doesn’t need to be an erudite complex llm, but just a basic one that can do the basics. that’s the vision i have.
