The quick demo looks pretty dope, but I am never gonna pay a subscription for a closed source token-identified cli tool. I would have paid a one time fee for a similar tool that doesn't phone home to check my api key every time I use it.

My guess is that it's relying on openai calls to do the hard work, and thus someone has to pay for them. I believe that GPT-3, which this relies on, is not open source and probably not easy to run on your device.

Yep, if it uses GPT-3, that has to be the case:

Microsoft announced on September 22, 2020, that it had licensed "exclusive" use of GPT-3; others can still use the public API to receive output, but only Microsoft has access to GPT-3's underlying model. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPT-3

This couldn't really run otherwise, sadly, as it uses GPT-3. I guess it could use a FOSS model, but you wouldn't want to run that locally.
