Philosophy.
Engineering for builders.
Agents are becoming the way a lot of software gets written, and the tooling underneath them is still thin. We build that layer out of Southeast Asia with radical transparency: the benchmarks on this site are numbers you can reproduce from the repo, not numbers we liked the sound of.
Developer tools should be transparent, portable, and owned by the people who use them. That means you can read the code, fork it, and run it in production without asking us first.
The Commitments.
- ->Transparent & PortableYou own your infrastructure. There is no black box and no hidden enterprise edition holding back the parts that matter. Everything we run ourselves is the same code you download.
- ->Builder-First EmpathyWe build tools we actually want to use. We prioritize CLI ergonomics, low-latency, predictability, and local-first workflows over marketing metrics.
- ->Permissive LicensingWe strictly release under the MIT or Apache 2.0 license. Fork it, learn from it, run it in production. You own your infrastructure without strings attached.
How We Sustain This.
Building high-performance software requires time, electricity, and coffee. We sustain our operations through two transparent channels, and the roadmap stays ours to set whoever funds the work:
- 01Managed Cloud ServicesSelat runs as a hosted gateway for teams who would rather not operate one, priced on tool calls rather than seats. The self-hosted build stays complete either way, Apache 2.0, no account.
- 02Community SponsorshipsSupport directly from the engineers who rely on our tools via GitHub Sponsors or direct contributions.
