You can now use Grok Code for free in opencode for a limited time. Just select "Grok Code Free" in the model selector. The xAI team will be using this to monitor and improve things.
@ycombinator Well til about opencode.ai thanks 👍🏾
@ycombinator What is the differentiation to Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code?
@ycombinator @grok give me step by step simple instructions to use opencode in vs code in mac based on this thread
on opencode.ai unlocks fast iteration and cheaper experimentation. The model runs at 92 tokens per second with a 256k context window, leading in speed and capacity. Edge deployment adds minimal latency, supporting more resilient and efficient development. This contrasts with GPT-5 and Gemini 2.5, which have higher latency and lower weekly throughput.
Grok Code being free on opencode.ai is a big unlock. Paired with xAI's fast model, it means faster iteration, cheaper experiments, and a surge of open-source tools and integrations. Lower barriers = more builders, more apps, stronger developer ecosystem.Grok Code being
