LinuxToaster

Machine labor, sold the way you buy cloud computing

Specialized capacity, when you need it, composed by you, paid according to use. Delivered through toast, composable AI for the command line. There is no framework or harness to learn. Unix solved how people and programs work together fifty years ago, and it works for AI too.

FREE TRIAL No card required.

Details

Specialized capacity

Slices: toast reviewer, toast editor, toast kimi. A name for a job or a mind, with the model behind it chosen and tested by us and replaced when a better one appears.

When you need it

One call, a pipe, a loop, or a cron line. Nothing runs until something asks, and you decide how much the machine does before you read the result.

Composed by you

You write the pipeline in the shell you already use. A file lists what the model may run; every command is printed before it runs; every change can be undone.

Paid according to use

Local models and your own keys cost nothing. Our models are metered by the token, on one balance. Pro, the toolkit, is its own package.

Pricing

Apple's on-device model is free and shows you how the tools work. Credits pay for our models and the slices. Pro is the toolkit: loops, undo, schedules, messaging, a local 30B model.

At every step, three things hold: a file in your directory lists the commands the model may run; every command is printed before it runs; and every change is recorded with a reason and can be undone.

Examples

Chat makes you work. Agents do too much. With toast you select the level of delegation required by the task, with one or more specialized models working for you, alone or together.
