Overview

What is Acyclic?

Acyclic (YC F26) runs agent swarms that split a coding task across many agents, each in its own sandbox/workspace fork, then merge into one patch or pull request. You start swarms from a CLI (npm i -g @acyclic-labs/cli), a dashboard, or a coding agent over MCP, using your own model keys. Onboarding is gradual for teams already running agents in volume; public list prices were not found on the homepage as of 2026-10-14.

Good for
  • Teams already running many Claude Code/Codex sessions on large repos
  • Startups building domain-specific agents that need parallel scale
  • Engineers who want a merged PR from a parallel swarm instead of one long agent run
Watch out for
  • No public pricing page found; access is currently gradual onboarding with a founder conversation
  • Requires macOS/Linux CLI or dashboard; Windows not mentioned
  • Uploads working files for --dir . — review what is included before running
