Uh hello guys, welcome to this video. So
0:02
in this video, I'll show you a VS code
0:04
extension uh which allows you to run AI
0:07
premium models for completely free uh
0:11
which is claude Gemini Grock.
0:14
The extension name is row code RO code.
0:17
If you go to the extensions tab, just
0:19
type here
0:21
R O C O D. This is the extension. It's
0:25
uh similar to cursor where it allows you
0:29
to run
0:31
AI agents all the AI agents directly
0:34
using a single extension. So this is
0:37
their official website. If you try to
0:39
open this this is their homepage AI
0:42
powered development right inside your VS
0:45
code. So it's got almost 700,000
0:49
installs. So once you click the install
0:51
button and there is a website which you
0:54
can use open router.
0:57
So once you enable this extension it
0:59
will appear sidebar section right here
1:01
row code just activate this extension
1:04
and if you're doing it for the very
1:06
first time you just need to uh write
1:09
here in the
1:12
so as you can see using this extension
1:13
you can write modify refactor code you
1:16
can even ask explanation regarding the
1:19
code debug your code all the things you
1:21
can do and just click the settings
1:23
option and right here
1:27
Here you need to specify your API key.
1:30
So what sort of API key you are using.
1:32
So right here in the model section
1:39
uh you just need to paste what sort of
1:42
model you are using right here. So
1:46
in our case
1:49
you can see in the drop-down section
1:52
just select the configuration. So right
1:55
here we selected open router. So open
1:58
router is a free website which allows
2:00
you to test out any sort of AI model
2:03
which is released. So this is their
2:05
website open router.ai. It's completely
2:08
free. There is no subscriptions like
2:10
other website. Simply log in with your
2:12
Google account and you can just see all
2:14
the models are present. You can search
2:16
for any model. Horizon, beta, mistral,
2:19
you can see Gemini, Quen, Claude,
2:24
all the premium models, all the models
2:27
which are related to anthropic claude.
2:29
You will see all these models are
2:30
present. So what you need to do, you
2:32
need to go to the key section and just
2:36
click create API key. I've already done
2:38
that. So if you do this,
2:42
you simply create your API key. Click on
2:45
create. As soon as you do this, you will
2:47
get your API key. Simply copy this and
2:51
paste it right here. So after you paste
2:54
it, you simply select which sort of
2:57
model you want to use right here. Simply
2:59
from the drop-down, just select
3:02
whichever model you want to use. So I
3:04
would just want to use this uh uh claw
3:09
model. So I will simply select I want to
3:11
use anthropic claude sonet model. As
3:14
soon as you do this, simply click the
3:15
save button. And now come to the chat
3:19
window. And right here you can ask uh
3:21
any sort of thing.
3:26
So let's suppose what I will do I will
3:28
simply can attach files as well. Just
3:30
typing at the rate and it will attach
3:33
the file for me. So right here we
3:34
attached this index html. So I just want
3:37
to say build a simple
3:41
scientific
3:43
calculator in this file.
3:46
So you basically make the request here.
3:51
So once you make the request, it will
3:53
start analyzing the file and it will use
3:56
that claude model that you selected and
3:59
start writing the code for you.
4:09
So you can see uh
4:22
so these bar the tokens you get
4:25
basically free tokens to try out all the
4:27
APIs. This is click on retry if the it's
4:32
not froggy. You can even change the
4:34
model as well right here.
4:38
Can pick out another model.
4:45
Can use the deepse free model right here
4:48
and click on save.
4:53
Start new task. So you can attach the
4:55
file here.
5:03
So if you do this now you will see it
5:05
will try to build out
5:09
some models are free some model are not.
5:12
So depending upon what sort of models
5:14
you create
5:19
the process remains the same. you create
5:21
the API key and right here you ask
5:30
it's a very good extension row code you
5:32
can see it's very popular and uh
5:39
so now it is started to I think uh
5:44
build out
5:55
Just terminate all the task that you
5:58
opened. Just start from scratch.
6:13
If you want to create a new task, you
6:15
simply click on the new option.
6:22
Top 10 frameworks.
6:30
So you can basically ask any question as
6:32
well. Top 10 frameworks.
6:35
And for some reason if your model is not
6:37
working you can click on
6:51
just edit and make sure that you open
6:54
this.
7:00
If you want to just delete this API key
7:02
you can even delete that as well.
7:09
Just you need to paste a correct API
7:11
key. Just give it a name. Advanc
7:13
settings. You can
7:18
just copy to clipboard and simply paste
7:21
it.
7:24
Now right here you can select any sort
7:27
of model which is
7:50
So as soon as you select a model, it
7:52
will show you these restrictions which
7:53
are there.
7:56
Maximum output
8:02
can select all these things. Rate limit,
8:05
error, repetition limit, open router.
8:17
You can even search for any sort of
8:20
model. Let's suppose I use horizontal
8:22
beta model.
8:39
So you simply write
8:42
and after that you can see it will try
8:44
to
8:51
so it is creating the code as well. You
8:53
can see that. Oh,
9:12
you can approve the permissions and it
9:15
will basically
9:17
create the app for you. You can see
9:19
automatically once you select the model,
9:21
it is writing the code for you.
9:56
So in this easy way guys you can use
9:58
this extension in VS code to try out any
10:02
sort of premium model for completely
10:05
free. You paste your own API key from
10:08
open router and just plug this right
10:11
inside this extension.
