Animica Workers — the night shift

Write Python.
Get paid when people run it.

Deploy a Python function to Animica Python Cloud and you get a public HTTPS endpoint plus 80% of every ANM someone spends running it — metered per call and settled the moment it finishes. Your deployment is anchored on-chain; execution runs off-chain in a sandbox with no network. The AI is free, Animica Workers are free, and there is no card to start.

Example run log one Worker · one night every 2 hours · free
  • 23:00Summarise the day’s new GitHub issuesPOST → your endpoint ok
  • 01:00Rebuild the changelog pagepublish → notes.anm ok
  • 03:00Re-check three feeds, draft the digestPOST → your endpoint ok
  • 05:00Draft tomorrow’s standup notesyour endpoint 502 logged, retried
  • 09:00You open the log. Four runs, one retry, nothing to babysit.

You choose the prompt, the cadence and the destination. Workers no longer need a subscription — every account gets them free, with a 15-minute cadence floor and fair-use caps. Repeated consecutive failures disable a Worker automatically (five by default, per Worker), and Emergency Stop is one click.

A subscription doesn’t buy the intelligence. It buys the alarm clock, the delivery and the log. Workers run on the same free Animica AI you are about to use. Nothing above is a trial and nothing below is a preview — the free AI is not a quota you burn down. Here it is, running right now:

Animica Python Cloud

Write Python. Deploy to Animica. Get paid when people use it.

Write a function. Deploy it. You get a public HTTPS endpoint and 80% of every ANM a caller spends running it. The other 20% runs the platform. No servers, no containers to manage, no invoices to chase — settlement happens on every single execution.

1 · Write

A plain Python function. The whole interface is one entrypoint:

def main(request):
    name = request.get("name", "world")
    return {"message": f"Hello {name}"}

Need more? animica.ai.infer() for AI, animica.call() to buy another app’s output, animica.state to remember things — each one a capability you declare.

2 · Deploy

One command, or the in-browser editor:

pip install animica
animica cloud deploy handler.py

Your source hash and artifact hash are anchored on-chain in a real Animica deploy transaction. Execution itself runs off-chain, in a locked-down sandbox with no network.

3 · Get paid

Every call is metered — CPU, memory, AI tokens — priced in ANM and settled the moment it finishes. Your share lands in your balance immediately and withdraws on-chain to your wallet.

Publish to the marketplace and your app gets its own page people can find and share. You keep 80%.

Honest about the architecture: Animica anchors your deployment on-chain and executes it off-chain. Consensus does not run arbitrary Python — the chain records which code was deployed, and the network pays for running it.

Terminal · animica chat

The whole network, in your terminal.

An agentic coding assistant that reads your files, edits them, runs commands and checks its own work — the way Claude Code and Codex do. No API key, no wallet and no GPU. Inference comes from the same miner network that serves this page.

Full CLI guide → — install, the four approval modes, /swarm, AGENTS.md, and what a paid plan lifts.

1

Install

# a venv keeps it out of your system Python
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install animica
animica chat

On Windows the activate line is .venv\Scripts\activate. Prefer one command that makes the venv for you? curl -fsSL https://animica.dev/install.sh | sh — and you can read it first; it is about 120 lines and needs no sudo.

2

Talk to it

animica chat

Slash commands: /help, /mode, /swarm, /sessions, /resume, /exit. Sessions are saved on your machine, so animica chat -c picks up the last one and --session <id> picks any of them. Drop an AGENTS.md in the repo and it follows it.

3

Let it work

# reads, greps, edits, runs tests — asks before each change
animica chat "find the N+1 query in this repo and fix it"

# pipe anything in: a stack trace, a failing build, a diff
pytest 2>&1 | animica chat "why is this failing?"

Tools are on for every message — there is no separate agent mode. Ship it with animica deploy handler.py. Or run several agents at once: type /swarm audit this codebase for auth bugs inside a session. It plans the work into parallel subtasks, runs them together, has a separate agent try to refute each result, and merges only what survived.

Deploy from the same terminal

Write a Python function, deploy it to Animica Cloud, and get paid when people call it — without leaving your shell.

# one file, one command
animica cloud login
animica cloud init            # writes a handler.py to start from
animica deploy handler.py     # validates, uploads, anchors on-chain, activates

Then animica cloud invoke, logs, status and earnings do what they say. animica deploy is a shortcut for animica cloud deploy.

You decide what it may touch

Every session runs in one of four approval modes. Switch any time with /mode, or start in one with --permission-mode. The mode is always on screen, because an agent that auto-approves shell commands without saying so is indistinguishable from a careful one until something is already gone.

plan

Reads only. Writes, shell and network are refused — it will not even ask.

manual

The default. Asks before writing a file, deleting, running a shell command or fetching a URL.

auto-edit

Edits apply as it goes; shell and delete still ask. What most coding sessions want.

auto

Everything, unattended. Switching into it mid-session asks you to type auto to confirm.

Plans · Animica Python Cloud

AI is free. Workers are free. Plans buy scale.

Everything on this page stays free — chat, the media and GPU studios, the swarm builder, the /v1 API, and Animica Workers, which no longer need a subscription at all. A plan does not unlock the AI; it raises how much you can run.

The ladder is executions, compute and concurrency on Python Cloud — how much your deployed functions may consume in a month. Every tier earns the same 80% developer share on what your users pay.

Checkout connects your Animica wallet — the same sign-in the developer tools use. Billed monthly in USD through PayPal. Change or cancel any time: on a downgrade, resources over the new limit keep their configuration and simply stop running. Nothing is deleted because billing stopped. Plans buy platform capacity; they are not ANM and not an investment. What your users pay to run your functions is separate, is denominated in ANM, and is 80% yours on every tier.

Generative media · rendered by GPU miners

Images, video & music. From a prompt.

No key, no signup. Every job is dispatched to the Animica GPU-miner network and comes back with a post-quantum-signed receipt — no model ever runs on our servers. Advanced multi-scene video and image-to-video are built in. Your uploaded images stay private, seen only by the miner that renders your clip.

Describe an image and a GPU miner will render it. PNG out, content-hashed.

◦ No key, no signup ◦ Rendered by GPU miners ◦ Post-quantum signed receipt ◦ Uploads stay private ◦ Jobs never dropped — they queue
GPU Studios · new in 9.0.0

Three studios. One GPU fleet.

Upload a file, and independent GPU miners do the heavy lifting — video finishing, audio post, and a distributed Blender render farm. Free, no key; jobs queue honestly and go through eventually. Miners earn ANM per job, settled on-chain from the block reward. From block 75,000 25% of every block is reserved for inference and media work — withheld from the miner whether or not anything claims it, so the split is 50% miner / 25% treasury / 25% service. On a block where nothing is claimed the reserved slice goes to the treasury.

Agents mode

One prompt. A swarm of agents builds it.

A leader agent plans your project — a web app, CLI tool, backend API, library, game, script, anything — then dispatches worker agents (one per file) and assembles a real, runnable codebase in the right language. All on Kimi K3, Animica's free flagship coding model — no key.

No GitHub or signup needed — build, preview, steer and download right here. A swarm of agents plans, writes, and critiques a real multi-file project of any kind — web app, CLI tool, backend/API, library, game, data pipeline or script — in the right language for the job (web apps may pull in vetted CDN libraries like React, Tailwind, D3 or Three.js for richer results). Builds run in the background on the free CPU network — you can close this tab and come back, they keep going — so complex projects that take a few minutes don't need babysitting. Web apps preview live and download as a single runnable .html; every project downloads as a full .zip you can run locally. Connecting GitHub (in the Agent section) is optional — only if you want to open a PR.

GitHub coding agent

Point it at a repo. Get a pull request.

Connect a GitHub token, describe a change, and the agent reads your repo, edits files, and opens a PR — reasoning on Kimi K3, Animica's free flagship coding model. It only ever writes to a new branch.

Your token stays in this browser tab (session storage), is sent only with your requests over HTTPS, and is never stored or logged on the server. Revoke it anytime in GitHub settings.

For AI agents & bots

Autonomous agents: this API is for you.

Call it directly — no key, no auth header, no signup. It's OpenAI-compatible and funded by the Animica treasury. Machine-readable manifests are published at well-known paths, and llms.txt tells you everything.
