Adds a deployment-wide setting to select the computer-use provider (Anthropic or OpenAI) for AI agents, plus the OpenAI computer-use runner needed to honor that selection. The setting is stored in `site_configs` under `agents_computer_use_provider`, defaults to Anthropic when unset, and is exposed via experimental GET/PUT endpoints under `/api/experimental/chats/config/computer-use-provider`. The chatd computer-use tool now dispatches to either `runAnthropicComputerUse` or `runOpenAIComputerUse` based on the resolved provider, with provider-specific result metadata for OpenAI screenshots. Frontend adds a provider dropdown to the Agents Experiments settings page nested under the virtual desktop toggle, with disabled state handling while virtual desktop is off and skeleton loaders while config queries are in flight. Hugo and Codex review follow-up: - Uses shared provider validation and clearer computer-use constant names. - Removes stale OpenAI pending-safety-checks commentary. - Documents why provider result metadata is needed for OpenAI screenshots. - Keeps the computer-use subagent visible when provider credentials are missing, then returns a clear spawn-time configuration error. - Uses OpenAI's recommended 1600x900 screenshot geometry to preserve the native 16:9 aspect ratio. - Moves OpenAI-specific computer-use helpers into `coderd/x/chatd/chatopenai/computeruse` after rebasing onto the provider package refactor in `main`. - Converts OpenAI pixel scroll deltas to Coder desktop wheel-click amounts. - Preserves OpenAI pointer modifiers with key down/up desktop actions and rejects unsupported non-left double-click buttons explicitly. - Maps OpenAI back/forward side-button clicks to browser navigation key actions. - Defaults omitted OpenAI click buttons to left-click. - Retries mouse release cleanup if the final OpenAI drag release fails. - Keeps computer-use subagent availability messages stable when provider config cannot be loaded, while logging the backend error. - Releases remaining OpenAI modifier keys if a synthetic key-up cleanup action fails. - Updates Storybook interaction stories so provider snapshots show the selected final provider. > Mux updated this PR description on behalf of Mike.
Coder is a self-hosted platform for cloud development environments and AI coding agents. Workspaces are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure Wireguard® tunnel, and automatically shut down when not used. Coder Agents runs a native AI coding agent whose loop executes in the control plane on your infrastructure, with no API keys in workspaces.
- Define cloud development environments in Terraform
- EC2 VMs, Kubernetes Pods, Docker Containers, etc.
- Automatically shutdown idle resources to save on costs
- Onboard developers in seconds instead of days
- Delegate coding work to AI agents on your infrastructure
- Bring any model (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Bedrock, self-hosted)
- No LLM credentials in workspaces, user identity on every action
- Centralized model governance, cost tracking, and audit logging
Quickstart
The most convenient way to try Coder is to install it on your local machine and experiment with provisioning cloud development environments using Docker (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows).
# First, install Coder
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
# Start the Coder server (caches data in ~/.cache/coder)
coder server
# Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user,
# create a Docker template and provision a workspace
Install
The easiest way to install Coder is to use the
install script for Linux
and macOS. For Windows, use the latest ..._installer.exe file from GitHub
Releases.
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
You can run the install script with --dry-run to see the commands that will be used to install without executing them. Run the install script with --help for additional flags.
See install for additional methods.
Once installed, you can start a production deployment with a single command:
# Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app
coder server
# Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URL
coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>
Use coder --help to get a list of flags and environment variables. See the install guides for a complete tutorial.
