TaglineRun any open-source AI model with an API call.OpenAI's open-source daemon that turns your Linear board into an always-on coding agent factory — tickets go in, pull requests come out.OpenAI's video model. Long clips, cinematic quality.Terminal-based AI pair programmer. Git-aware, model-flexible.

PricingPay per second of computeFree (open-source)Included with ChatGPT Plus/ProFree (open source) + whatever API you use
Best forDevelopers using open-source models (Flux, SDXL, Whisper, etc).Engineering teams already using Linear + OpenAI Codex who want to stop babysitting agent sessions and instead let the issue tracker drive autonomous coding at scale.ChatGPT subscribers experimenting with cinematic shots.Developers who want open-source tooling with full control.
Strengths
  • Tens of thousands of models (image, video, audio, LLMs)
  • One-line API for any model
  • Cog framework for custom model deploy
  • Fully autonomous ticket-to-PR pipeline: every open Linear issue gets its own isolated Codex agent without manual supervision
  • Fault-tolerant Elixir/OTP architecture automatically restarts crashed agents and manages hundreds of concurrent runs
  • WORKFLOW.md keeps all orchestration policy version-controlled inside the repo, so agent behavior is reproducible and reviewable like code
  • Proven internal results: OpenAI reported a 500% increase in landed PRs on some teams within three weeks
  • Open spec encourages community re-implementations in any language, not just Elixir
  • Up to 20-sec clips at 1080p
  • Strong physics + scene composition
  • Storyboard feature for longer narratives
  • Remix existing videos
  • Works in any terminal
  • Auto-commits changes with meaningful messages
  • Works with any model (Claude, GPT, local)
  • Minimal learning curve
Weaknesses
  • Cold starts on less-popular models
  • Pricing gets real at scale
  • Currently only supports Linear as an issue tracker — GitHub Issues and Jira integrations are not yet official
  • Only OpenAI Codex is officially supported as the agent runtime; other model integrations are community-contributed and incomplete
  • Self-hosted, Elixir-dependent engineering preview with no built-in sandboxing — not suitable for untrusted or production environments out of the box
  • Stricter content policy than competitors
  • Hit-or-miss on complex motion
  • Text-in-video still struggles
  • Terminal-only
  • Less agentic than Claude Code
  • Setup on Windows is fiddly
Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.Symphony is the most architecturally serious 'issue tracker as control plane' approach yet — 15K GitHub stars in weeks confirms the idea resonates — but it's still a rough, self-hosted engineering preview that demands Elixir chops and a Linear-only workflow. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
