Use Standard Compute with jcode

A high-performance coding-agent harness written in Rust, built to run many sessions and agent swarms on little RAM, with named profiles for any OpenAI-compatible API. Paste three settings into jcode: the base URL, your Standard Compute API key and the model.

jcode's provider add takes the key from stdin (--api-key-stdin), from an environment variable (--api-key-env) or not at all for localhost servers (--no-api-key), and --set-default makes the profile the startup provider and model.

Eligible new accounts can try $0.25 of compute, with no card. See trial terms →

Your connection settings

Copy these values, then put them where jcode expects them (steps below).

Base URL

https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1

API Key

Your Standard Compute key

Model

standardcompute

Where to set them in jcode

  1. Run printf '%s' "$STANDARDCOMPUTE_API_KEY" | jcode provider add standardcompute --base-url https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1 --model standardcompute --api-key-stdin --set-default.
  2. That writes [providers.standardcompute] to ~/.jcode/config.toml and stores the key in jcode's private config directory, not in your shell history.
  3. Check it with jcode --provider-profile standardcompute auth-test --no-tool-smoke, then start jcode. Add --model-catalog to the provider add command to list every model from /v1/models.

What changes in jcode

Billing
jcode requests draw on one monthly compute budget, with plans from $19 a month. There is no per-token bill. When the budget is used, requests stop until renewal or an upgrade, unless you turn on pay as you go.
Models
The model standardcompute picks a frontier or an efficient model for each request. An exact model ID from the Models page pins one model instead.
Good to know
jcode is free and MIT-licensed. It also signs in with Claude and OpenAI Codex subscriptions and ships presets for many OpenAI-compatible APIs; a custom profile bills through that provider.
