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 codingThe free tier needs 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 on every tier. The tier you name decides where the model runs and who pays for it -- the commands, the tools and the agent loop do not change. Name it with --model, for example typed --model typed++xhigh; with no flag you get the free default.
| Tier | Context | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Free, on your own machine a model server you start yourself | ||
| typeddefault | set by your server | What the install line above gives you. |
| Hosted, from $10 a month one monthly budget shared by all three tiers on every plan; top-ups optional | ||
| typed++max | ~950K | The strongest model in the lineup. Draws the monthly budget about 10x faster than typed++xhigh, so move up when typed++xhigh gets a hard task wrong. |
| typed++xhighstart here | ~950K | The daily driver: the same window as typed++max at about a tenth of the budget draw. |
| typed++high | ~131K | A lighter model with a smaller window. The lowest draw per token, so the same budget stretches furthest here. |
The ~950K window takes no opt-in header and covers images as well as text. On the free tier 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 tier is for.
Dynamic sub-agentic workflows. On the paid tiers, typed ultracode on lets the agent decompose a task and fan out parallel subagents on its own, then verify the important findings with an independent one. Nothing is scripted in advance -- there is no workflow file, and the shape of the fan-out is decided per task. Subagents go one level deep by design, and each one bills like any other request, so it trades budget for thoroughness. How it works, and what it costs.
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.
