| Free tier | not stated: https://goose-docs.ai/ prints no allowance, quota or price; goose is open-source software that "runs on your machine" and sends model calls to a provider the user configures unit none; metered on wall-clock; free-product |
|---|
| Price | none stated |
|---|
| Binding | none the vendor serves no inference, so nothing binds on its side; the cost is the endpoint key and the machine it runs on. |
|---|
| Identity | anonymous not published |
|---|
| Egress | not stated |
|---|
| Interface | rest, cli inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed |
|---|
| Tooling | the user installs and runs the goose desktop app (macOS, Linux, Windows) or the goose CLI on a rented or free machine, and configures a model provider with an API key or an existing subscription |
|---|
| Composes with | the CLI and the API mean the agent can run on a free remote machine while the model comes from a separate free inference lane, which is the composition this class exists for. |
|---|
| Reliability | no reliability event recorded |
|---|
| Notes | Not a subscription: goose is a free open-source general-purpose agent whose project sells no plan, price or hosted inference; models come from a hosted provider the user configures (15 or more providers, or an existing Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini subscription), and the agent itself runs on a machine the user supplies. A candidate for coding-subs beside the other bring-your-own-key agents; no coding-subs record holds it. The docs moved from block.github.io/goose to goose-docs.ai. The desktop app and the CLI both run on a machine the user supplies. The project now lives under an aaif-goose GitHub organisation, not under block. |
