Originally created by @haltingstate on GitHub (Sep 6, 2025).

Originally assigned to: @rekram1-node on GitHub.

I ran opencode

I am supposed to be able to use this new grok model for free?

When I run opencode, with the grok model, I get an authentication / API key invalid error

Problem: there is no instructions anywhere, how to setup API key, or what I need to do.

The free "opencode/" qwen model also does not work

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #1597: Improve provider and API key update workflow after initial setup - describes lack of clear instructions for API key setup after initial configuration
  • #2245: AI_APICallError: User not found with OpenRouter despite valid API key - similar authentication issues with API keys
  • #1154: Fresh brew install asks for Github Copilot API key - describes API key setup confusion during installation

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

I was having the same issue, Grok Fast (free offer) was showing up under /models, selected it and then got an AI_APICallError.

Then I noticed that under models the Grok Fast had "copilot" next to it, which is a Github thing. not sure how they relate, but I inferred that it was just picking up my $GITHUB_TOKEN from the Macos bash environment.

so I unset the variable before opening Opencode and it worked.

unset GITHUB_TOKEN
opencode

And after hitting /models the Grok Code Fast 1 had opencode as provider next to it, instead of copilot.
