What is critique/auto?
A session coding selector over Critique-resold Inference models. New sessions start on the efficient rung (Laguna S 2.1, Gemini 3.8 Flash, Seed, DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, Muse, Qwen 27B, Hy3, Ling). Later turns reuse the same specialist. Repeated tool failures escalate once onto the frontier rung (Kimi K3, Grok 4.6, Fugu Ultra, Kimi K2.7 Code, GLM-5.3, Qwen 2.4T, and others). It does not pick from the full catalog. Token rates follow the routed model.
What is CritiqueCode vs the Critique CLI?
CritiqueCode is the author agent, package @critiquedotsh/harness, binary critique-code. It implements, then the controller forces review and verified repair. Run critique-code login and approve on the website to connect Critique Inference with no pasted key. /voice transcribes speech with qwen/qwen3-asr-0.6b so you can talk to the author and reviewer. The Critique CLI is the sidecar reviewer, package @critiquedotsh/cli, binary critique. Same npm org, different products.
Why use Critique as my inference layer?
Same crt_ keys as finish checks and the CLI, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, Western-region routing, and list rates in $/1M input and output for agents that burn tokens all day. Point Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, VS Code, and JetBrains, your harness, or any OpenAI client at https://critique.sh/api/v1 — no separate provider account on managed billing.
Do you store or train on my prompts?
Private tier (default): no log retention for model training — requests are metered for billing only. Log retention tier (optional, 75% off on eligible models): you opt in explicitly; retained prompts and completions help improve models, routing, and the Critique platform. Toggle in Settings → Connections or per request with X-Critique-DeepSeek-Training-Opt-In.
