A coding CLI that runs free on your own machine
typed is an AI coding CLI. The default tier is free and runs on your own hardware -- no account, no key, nothing leaves the box. The hosted tiers bill monthly with optional top-ups instead of 5-hour windows. One curl installs the launcher, then run t from any directory.
curl -fsSL https://app.typed.cloud/install.sh | bash
typed local # sizes a model server for this machine and prints the command
t # start coding The free local tiers need about 32 GB of RAM -- the model runs on your machine, so the machine has to hold it (the full requirements). Under that, the same line still installs the launcher: the hosted tiers have no hardware requirement. On Windows, run the install line in Git Bash; PowerShell and cmd cannot run it.
It is the same CLI either way. The tier you name decides where the work runs and who pays for it -- the commands, the tools and the agent loop do not change.
| Tier | Select with | Context | Why this one |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free, on your own machine both run against a model server you start yourself | |||
| typed-max | --effort max | your server's window | The bigger of the two local rungs |
| typeddefault | --effort xhigh | your server's window | What the install line above gives you |
| Hosted, from $10 a month monthly billing, optional top-ups -- and every plan carries all three rungs | |||
| typed++max | --model typed++max | ~950K | Top of the lineup; draws the monthly budget about 10x faster |
| typed++xhigh | --effort mediumor low | ~950K | Same window as the top rung, easier on the budget |
| typed++high | --effort high | ~131K | A separate model; stretches the same budget furthest |
The ~950K window takes no opt-in header and covers images as well as text. On the free tiers the window is whatever your own server reports: anything answering POST /v1/messages and GET /props works, and typed probes the window and tool support at startup. What each hosted rung is for.
Team plans start at $25 a seat and add hosted codebase indexing across the org. Once you have a key, typed login pastes it in -- the dashboard pre-fills that command with a Copy button.
