This already exists. I’m a happy user of exe.dev VM’s. They have a coding agent called Shelley (https://exe.dev/shelley) that works fine in a web browser on my laptop, tablet, and phone. I can close my laptop at at any time and the agent keeps running in the VM.
It works with multiple LLM’s. The main downside is that since they go through the API, it gets expensive once the monthly quota runs out. (They claim to resell additional API usage at cost, but that doesn’t seem easy to verify.) I’ve switched to using Sonnet for most things but haven’t experimented with cheaper models yet.
It seems like the big price difference between what going through the API costs and what you can get via a subscription is really holding things back.
