Line 1
Our Mac
Every robot here plugs into one Mac Studio. Each new robot shares the same machine, so every robot slows down, and when the memory shelf is full no more can start.

Three ways to run AI coding agents
Agent Factory Floor
- Robot
- One AI coding agent, a program that writes code on its own. Each robot on the floor is one agent.
- Line
- One way of running robots: our own Mac, Claude in the cloud, or GPT in the cloud.
- Job
- One piece of coding work, shown as a box on the belt.
- Good job
- A box that passes the check at the gate. The rest go back for rework.
- Robot-hour
- One robot working for one hour.
- Account
- One paid subscription. It gives a set amount of robot-hours each week, like a battery that refills every week.
- Tokens
- AI reads and writes in tokens, pieces of words. 1,000 tokens is about 750 words.
Pick how many robots you want. Then watch what each line does with the same order.

Factory floor
All three lines get the same order. Each box on a belt is one job. The gate checks it: green goes to the Done bin, red slides back for rework.

What a month costs, and why
What one good job costs
Every box costs money to make, even the ones that fail the check. So each good box also pays for the failed ones.
Where each line breaks
Each chart runs from 1 to 64 robots. The dashed line marks your order. Red marks show where a line stops growing.
Report card: real coding tests
Each test gives agents real coding work and counts how often they get it right. Bars run from 0 to 100%. The badge says who ran the test: the model's maker, or outside testers.
How our subscriptions work
We don't pay for each token. We pay a flat price for accounts, and each account gives a set amount of robot-hours every week. Here is how that works, step by step.
One robot-hour, priced every way
What one robot working for one hour costs. Our subscription prices assume every account gets used up.
