Together Link is a CLI utility that connects coding harnesses such as Claude Code, Codex, and Claude Desktop to open models on Together AI, offering automatic session-level model routing while maintaining existing local configurations.
What the product does and how it is positioned
Together Link connects developer coding harnesses and desktop clients to open models hosted on Together AI. Supported client environments include Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex in the ChatGPT app, ChatGPT Desktop, OpenCode, and Pi.
The tool includes an automatic router that assesses the initial task in a session to direct simpler requests to open models like GLM 5.3 and complex requests to higher-capability models. Terminal sessions utilize temporary environment configurations, while supported desktop applications run on separate reversible profiles.
Source-supported ways to use the product
Developers run command-line tools like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Pi with open models while retaining local settings, themes, and shell histories.
Users launch Claude Desktop or ChatGPT Desktop under dedicated profiles that incorporate open models into the interface without modifying primary account profiles.
The documented workflow, where available
Run the official shell installer script in a macOS or Linux terminal to set up the Together Link command-line executable.
Execute the configuration command in the terminal to register a valid Together AI API key.
Start the desired agent using harness-specific launch commands such as togetherlink claude, togetherlink codex, or togetherlink chatgpt.
Together Link functions as a gateway that translates agent network requests to Together AI model endpoints. Terminal tools receive isolated settings that apply strictly for the duration of the active session, whereas desktop applications launch using dedicated application profiles.
The default auto router evaluates the first prompt or task of a coding session. Routine tasks are directed to open models such as GLM 5.3, while challenging prompts can be routed to advanced frontier models when corresponding provider credentials are configured.

What was checked and when
Answers based on the source-checked product record
Together Link is a tool that connects coding agents and desktop clients to open models hosted on Together AI, including Kimi K3, GLM 5.3, MiniMax M3, and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash.
Supported environments include Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex in the ChatGPT app, ChatGPT Desktop, OpenCode version 2 or newer, and Pi version 0.80.8 or newer.
Getting started requires a Together AI API key, a macOS or Linux operating system, and an installed supported coding agent harness.
The auto router reads the initial task in each session and routes simpler work to open models such as GLM 5.3, while directing complex problems to higher-tier models.
No. Terminal agents operate with temporary session settings, and desktop applications run in separate profiles that can be switched off using dedicated CLI commands.
