Select a compatible local model to use the agent without an AI API subscription.
Free local application · model/hardware costs separate
The MIT app itself is free. Local model inference uses the user’s hardware and separately licensed weights; external provider APIs are optional and may be billed. Verify platform-specific build requirements in the official README. No weights are bundled. The official Ollama qwen2.5-coder:7b listing states Apache-2.0 and 4.7GB; verify compatibility and model licensing separately. Local hardware, storage, download, and electricity still have costs. Optional remote inference can be billed.

Devices / hardware
The MIT application is free. Local inference needs your hardware and separately licensed model weights; external providers can charge.
No one-line command has been verified for GraftCode; follow its official installation instructions instead of guessing a Docker image or installer.
OpenCode can be used without a Go subscription. Optional Go is USD 10/month and Go Plus USD 40/month, with model-specific usage limits. Local models use your hardware; connected provider APIs and subscriptions bill separately. Promotional free models are limited-time offers.
Minimal terminal coding agent you can fully customize.
Official README supplies the installable Pi harness under MIT and instructs users to connect their own provider subscription or API key. The free harness does not include model usage or provider subscription fees.
Autonomous coding agents that complete real engineering tasks.
Official pricing lists MIT Agent Canvas free to self-host using own LLM key, Teams $499/month for up to 10 users with extra seats $50/month, and custom Enterprise. Provider tokens and managed cloud are separate.
Use an AI coding agent in an editor or terminal, with an optional local model.
The Apache-2.0 Cline VS Code extension and CLI have no software license charge. Use local Ollama models without a paid API key or per-request model charge, on your own hardware. Cline usage-billing, ClinePass subscriptions and external cloud model providers are optional paid routes with their own terms. The current repository says its JetBrains plugin is not open sourced. This review establishes the local client route, not unlimited hosted inference.
Coding agent that runs on local and open-weight models.
The Open Interpreter repository edition is available under Apache-2.0 with documented installation or build instructions and no required source-license subscription. Your server, storage, backups and administration remain your costs. External model/API usage is billed by its provider; no model allowance is included. This check covers that source edition; managed services, premium extensions and commercial relicensing, if offered, are not included or price-verified.
General-purpose AI agent for code, workflows, and more.
The Apache-2.0 agent has a documented local model/provider route with no required agent source-license subscription. You provide hardware, storage, power and separately licensed models. Optional hosted inference, credits and cloud accounts have separate charges and limits.
