AI requests can land at 10-20x raw model cost. Fast, polished, and expensive when the agent runs hot.
☠ </> zero markup cloud IDE
Code Like Nobody's Watching. Deploy Like Everyone Is.
A cloud IDE that passes AI costs through at zero markup. No platform tax. No vendor lock-in. Just build.
agent.ts
// bring your own keys
const ide = new PirateDev({
aiMarkup: 0,
lockIn: false,
deployTarget: 'your-vps'
})
await ide.agent.build(
'ship the thing',
{ provider: 'your-choice' }
)The Problem
Every Cloud IDE Takes a Cut.
Codespaces
Great if Azure is your harbor. Less great when your workflow needs to leave Microsoft's map.
Cursor
Twenty bucks a month for model access you could wire directly, plus limits when the queue gets loud.
The Solution
Zero Markup. Zero Apologies.
Bring your own API keys. PirateDev passes model usage through at $0 markup, then charges only for compute. Your keys, your providers, your bill.

Actual API cost varies by provider, context, and output size. The markup stays dead.
