## What it is
A CLI tool that tracks a large catalog of free coding LLM models across 20+ providers in real time, benchmarking their speed and stability. It lets users compare models and install the chosen one directly into coding tools like OpenCode, Aider, Cline, and Continue.

## Use cases
- find the fastest free coding llm right now
- compare free ai model providers by latency and stability
- install a free coding model into opencode or aider
- discover free alternatives to paid coding assistants
- benchmark deepseek kimi and gpt-oss models
- set up a free model router for my coding agent

## When to choose
- you want free coding LLM access without paying for API credits
- you need real-time speed and reliability comparisons across many providers
- you use CLI coding agents and want one-command model setup

## When to avoid
- you need guaranteed SLA-backed production inference from a single vendor
- you require fully self-hosted or offline models
- you need a non-Node.js environment
