Aether Launches Cloud Coding Agents With 19.4s Startup

Pricing through existing Claude or ChatGPT plans removes the usual second-subscription hurdle that cloud agent platforms carry, so the effective cost is just compute time. Developers who run long agent tasks will find the live-view-and-SSH model closer to local workflows than batch-style cloud runners. Anyone comparing with GitHub Copilot's coding agent or Cursor's cloud agents can check the public benchmark themselves.
Aether, a new cloud coding agent runtime from Pranav Sharan, launches with a claimed 19.4 seconds from prompt to a running stack, with a public benchmark. It runs Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode on isolated cloud machines that users can watch and steer live, including via SSH or from a phone. It reuses existing Claude or ChatGPT subscriptions, so there is no second AI bill — users pay only for the machine. An optional code review mode runs a reviewer agent that executes the code with changes to catch bugs static analysis misses. The service is free to start at runaether.dev.

Impressive work from @pranavctl on cloud coding agents. It's the fastest cloud coding agent: 19.4s from prompt to a running stack, and the benchmark is public. It runs Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode on isolated cloud machines you watch and steer live, on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already have. I build a lot with coding agents. Being able to watch a run live and drop into the same machine over SSH is what I'd actually use. Pranav Sharan @pranavctl Today we’re introducing Aether @aetherruntime . The fastest cloud coding agents in the world that you can use with your existing subscription Give it a task and just 20 seconds later your build is running on its own cloud machine. You can pick up from your phone, watch every line, and step in whenever you want as if it was local. Close the laptop. It keeps going. It runs Claude Code or Codex on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already pay for so there’s not a 2nd AI bill. You only pay for the machine. When it’s done, if code review is enabled, a reviewer agent runs the code with the changes, which catches classes of bugs that can't be found from static analysis. Before building Aether I built infra at Apple, Uber, and HeyGen. I built Aether because the cloud agents I tried before all had drawbacks, and I couldn't imagine building something without it now. It’s free to start. runaether.dev Your browser does not support the video tag. 🔗 View on Twitter 🔗 View Quoted Tweet 💬 14 🔄 0 ❤️ 13 👀 1875 📊 11 ⚡
