Meet Together Link: A Free CLI That Runs Open Models Like Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3 Inside Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode

Together AI has introduced Together Link, an open-source command-line tool that bridges popular AI coding environments—including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and the Claude and ChatGPT desktop apps—to open-weight models such as Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3. The tool is MIT-licensed and free to use.

Setup requires a single install command, after which an Auto router dynamically selects an appropriate model for each coding session. This removes the need for developers to manually configure endpoints or choose between models when switching tasks.

The release matters because it lowers the barrier to using open models inside workflows that have been tightly coupled to proprietary APIs. Developers who prefer open-weight models for cost, privacy, or licensing reasons can now access them through the same interfaces they already use.

By supporting multiple coding tools and desktop apps from a single CLI, Together Link also reduces fragmentation across the open-model ecosystem, where integration has typically required per-tool adapters or custom wrappers.

The broader impact depends on model performance and routing quality, but the tool signals continued momentum toward making open models practical drop-in replacements within established developer toolchains.
