Use Standard Compute with goose
The open-source AI agent from the Agentic AI Foundation at the Linux Foundation, with a desktop app, a CLI and MCP extensions. Paste three settings into goose: the base URL, your Standard Compute API key and the model.
As a file, the provider is ~/.config/goose/custom_providers/standardcompute.json with "engine": "openai", "base_url": "https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1", "api_key_env": "STANDARDCOMPUTE_API_KEY" and a models list holding standardcompute. Start it with GOOSE_PROVIDER=standardcompute GOOSE_MODEL=standardcompute.
Eligible new accounts can try $0.25 of compute, with no card. See trial terms →
