Aether launches cloud coding agents running Claude Code and Codex on user plans
Overview
Aether launches cloud coding agents that run Claude Code or Codex on isolated cloud machines, using the Claude or ChatGPT plan a user already pays for.
Aether says users pay only for the machine and that the product is free to start. Users can watch and steer runs live or SSH into the same machine.
Aether claims a 19.4-second start from prompt to running stack. Rohan Paul, who reports Aether's benchmark, says that is versus 73.5 seconds for Conductor Cloud. Santiago, who quotes Aether's announcement, reports a cloud build starting in about 20 seconds and an optional reviewer agent for code review. These timings and comparisons are claims from Aether and from these posts, not independently verified results.

Rohan Paul@rohanpaul_aiXAether launches a cloud runtime for Claude Code and Codex agentsAIAether has launched a cloud runtime where Claude Code or Codex runs on its own cloud machine and keeps working after the laptop closes. It runs on the Claude or ChatGPT plan users already pay for, so users pay only for the machine. The author says Aether's benchmark shows 19.4 seconds from prompt to a working build, versus 73.5 seconds for Conductor Cloud, and the product is free to start.
Santiago@svpinoXAether launches cloud coding agents that run on existing Claude and ChatGPT plansAIAether announces cloud coding agents that run Claude Code or Codex on the Claude or ChatGPT plan users already pay for, so they avoid a second AI bill and pay only for the machine. Santiago, who quotes Aether's announcement, says a task starts a cloud build in about 20 seconds that keeps running after the laptop closes. Aether also offers an optional reviewer agent for code review and says it is free to start.
elvis@omarsar0XAether launches cloud coding agents that start builds in 19.4 secondsAIAether launches cloud coding agents that run Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode on isolated cloud machines, with a claimed 19.4-second start from prompt to running stack. Users can watch and steer runs live or SSH into the same machine, using their existing Claude or ChatGPT plans, and pay only for the machine. Aether says the product is free to start.
