Liquid CLI

Start the coding agent you already use, with the exchange as its provider. Pick the ranking and the cap, and the exchange buys each request for you.

curl -fsSL https://inference.ai.exchange/cli/install.sh | bash

macOS and Linux, on Intel and Arm. The installer checks the download before it installs. The newest version is in latest.json.

First request

liquid login
liquid claude

liquid claude --model liquid/auto:cheapest --cap 0.50 ranks the offers by price and limits each request to a cap of $0.50. Add :smartest or :fastest to rank on another axis. The exchange charges for the tokens used and returns the rest of the cap.

How it works

• liquid <tool> runs the agent that is on your PATH and sets the base URL, the key and the model for that process only. It writes no file of yours.
• liquid exec -- <command> runs any program with the exchange in its environment.
• liquid api <METHOD> <path> sends one request to the exchange with the key and the origin added, so a script holds neither.
• Each run gives the agent a session key that ends with the run, never the saved key.
• liquid login signs in with the browser. The first sign-in also makes an API key for this computer and saves it.
• liquid keys list|create|revoke manages API keys. It needs liquid login --keys.
• liquid workspace balance and liquid workspace usage --days 30 show what the workspace can spend and what it spent. They need liquid login.
• liquid whoami, liquid workspace list and liquid workspace use [name] show and switch the workspace that commands act in. liquid --workspace <name> <command> acts in another workspace for one command.
• liquid job lists your settled jobs. Pick one to read its details. It uses your saved API key.
