Open-source AI workstation Timon released
Start here
Timon has been released as an open-source AI workstation that runs a team of agents on the user's own machine. An orchestrator splits a job into tasks and assigns them to roles such as Coder, Reviewer, Merger, Researcher and Ops; each task gets its own git worktree, and a second model reviews the diff before merge. It supports any ACP agent plus custom provider plugins, and runs on Windows 10+ (x64), macOS 11+ (Apple silicon) and Linux x64 with glibc 2.28+. The key constraint is that Timon does not supply model access itself. Users must already have one agent CLI signed in — claude, codex, copilot, grok, opencode, pi or hermes-acp — and agents run on that existing CLI subscription rather than a token-billed API. Timon states that a licence never replaces the CLI subscription and that it never calls a token-billed API on the user's behalf. The project is licensed under AGPL v3, with an MIT-licensed SDK.

- Hacker News · AITimon launches as an open-source AI workstation for coordinating agent teams
Timon is an open-source AI workstation that runs a team of agents on your own machine through the CLI subscriptions you already pay for, never a token-billed API. An orchestrator splits a job into tasks and assigns them to roles such as Coder, Reviewer, Merger, Researcher and Ops, with each task in its own git worktree and a second model reviewing the diff before merge. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, supports any ACP agent plus custom provider plugins, and is licensed under AGPL v3 with an MIT-licensed SDK.
