Getting started

Run arbiter on your own machine. You bring the provider keys; you control the binary. Free, open-source, fully featured. Ten minutes from curl to first agent reply.

Start with the local install, then choose the surface you want: interactive TUI, one-shot CLI, or the HTTP+SSE server.
