Together link: a free cli tool for running open models in coding environments

Together AI has launched Together Link, a free, MIT-licensed CLI tool in beta that allows developers to use open models like Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3 within coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. The tool aims to reduce costs by switching models without changing the workflow, offering a cost-effective alternative to premium models. Installation is straightforward with a single command on macOS or Linux, requiring only a Together API key. The tool routes tasks based on their complexity, directing quick fixes to low-cost models and more challenging tasks to advanced models. It supports multiple models, including GLM 5.3, GLM 5.3 Flash, and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, with pricing details provided. Billing is handled through the user’s existing Together key, with session costs displayed upon exit. The tool also highlights its market share for certain models, with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash leading at 40.8% as of September 30, 2026.
