@matthewdo823_ui Thanks Matthew!
I'm super excited to share our 100% free coding agent, funded by ads.
We're making coding agents accessible to everyone around the world, so coding doesn't require a subscription.
Use any of the following models for free, which are quite strong:
GPT 5.6 Luna
DeepSeek V4 Pro
DeepSeek V4 Flash
MiniMax M3
MiMo 2.5
The limits are high too. You get 6 sessions of an hour each per day! Some models like Flash get unlimited sessions.
We also have 5 products: Desktop, CLI, Web, Cloud, and Chat. Check them out at freebuff.com.
Let us know what you think!
Cheers,
James
@matthewdo823_ui Thank you Matthew!
Freebuff is truly the future of AI tools and platforms: 100% free, funded by ads.
I have been incredibly grateful to be part of this team:
Over 250,000 people have used us
Millions of messages sent by users
4,000 members in our discord community
Thousands of DMs, messages, and emails expressing their appreciation for our product
The countless number of people thanking us for our work has made my time here truly meaningful:
Users telling us they could achieve their dreams that they couldn't afford before
People who have built their wedding website and projects that have changed their life
Countless others who say they can't function with Freebuff
The list of supporters just keeps on increasing each day, so much so that it's become hard to parse through all the thank you emails we get and keep up with feedback.
Thank you to all of you!

@matthewdo823_ui Thank you for building Freebuff!
I've been following you guys since early last year, and it's amazing to see how the product has evolved.
I first started using you guys in the CLI and was an early fan of the Codebuff harness :). Very happy to see that Freebuff is now complete with the desktop, web, and CLI products!
When I first heard of the idea, I wasn't sure why I'd use a free version instead of Claude or Codex, but the quality of Freebuff's coding agents is really remarkable.
Especially with the latest models like Deepseek V4 Pro, Minimax M3, and GLM 5.2 (and 5.3 after today), it feels like coding is closer to being solved than ever...
Will be telling all my friends to switch to Free!
Amazing product! Been using it for a few months. Equivalent to Claude Code but free. Used it for data analysis for work as well as creating tools eg football manager moneyball tools. The harness really impressed me as it started checking some maths for me when I asked it about optimising collision detection for 3d objects. That's what inspired me to get it to help with data analysis too. I also used it to help research robot cars and drones for my son to use on ebay. So it has search tools too. It's amazing

Free coding agents make a lot of sense, especially for consumers and indie developers. I wonder how long it’ll take enterprises to adopt - when will people in real SWE jobs be convinced that they are just as good as paid models?
Freebuff
@darweenist Good point. But DeepSeek V4 Pro is pretty darn good today! As models continue to improve, free coding seems inevitable.
@darweenist
I think you mean free LLMs vs. paid, right? A coding agent, like this one sits on top of the LLM with the LLM being the power that drives whatever is coding. Free models/Open Source models? For 80% of the coding tasks out there, you're 100% correct. They get the job done nicely.
Hey everyone!
So glad to be part of the team behind Freebuff. We've come a long way in the field of high-efficiency models, and now, people often solve problems using our ad-funded models that top tier coding agents completely miss.
We are seeing the future shift into extreme token efficiency -- where we can now make token intelligency completely free for everyone without compromising quality.
The future of AI is going to be this: powerful tools for everyone, completely free to use.
Come try out our models for yourself across:
- Desktop
- CLI
- Web
- Cloud
- Chat
Love you all!

@victorcheng Thanks Victor!
I am an idiot :) . Tell me how you guys make money. My Claude API bill was about 1600 last month
@jay_janarthanan1 It's ad supported. First line on the home page. The metrics of how that will scale and work? Time will tell but this is a straight up eyeballs for code time.

@jay_janarthanan1 I've been a user of Freebuff for a while. They just run ads in their apps. It actually is just 100% free.
Really incredible how much you performance you can get out of these smaller and cheaper models with a well engineered harness. A lot of people are wasting their money using frontier intelligence for every task when most tasks don’t need it!
