| 11 | +# Roo Code 3.26 Release Notes |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +This document combines all releases in the v3.26 series. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Version 3.26.0 (2025-08-26) |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +This release introduces Grok Code Fast (formerly Sonic), a built-in /init command, and Qwen Code CLI API support. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +### Grok Code Fast |
| 20 | +As you may have already figured out, our stealth model Sonic has officially been uncloaked! ([#7426](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7426)) |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +From xAI, this model is optimized for coding tasks and already beloved by the community in Code Mode for its: |
| 23 | +- **Sharp reasoning** capabilities |
| 24 | +- **Plan execution at scale** |
| 25 | +- **Code suggestions with UI taste and intuition** |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +If you've already been enjoying Sonic in Roo Code Cloud, you'll be transitioned to Grok Code Fast. The model `xai/grok-code-fast-1` is also available under the [xAI Provider](/providers/xai) and is not free (for when the free period ends on Aug 28th, 2025). |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +A massive thank-you to our partners at xAI and to all of you — over 100B tokens (and counting!) ran through Sonic during stealth! Your incredible adoption and helpful feedback shaped Grok Code Fast into the powerful model it is today. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +**Important:** Grok Code Fast remains **FREE** when accessed through the [Roo Code Cloud provider](/providers/roo-code-cloud) during the promotional period. Using it directly through the xAI provider will incur standard charges once pricing is established. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +> **📚 Documentation**: See [Roo Code Cloud Provider](/providers/roo-code-cloud) for free access or [xAI Provider](/providers/xai) for direct configuration. |
| 34 | +
|
| 35 | +### Built-in /init Command |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +We've added a new /init slash command for project onboarding ([#7381](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7381), [#7400](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7400)): |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +- **Automatic Project Analysis**: Analyzes your entire codebase and creates comprehensive AGENTS.md files |
| 40 | +- **AI Assistant Optimization**: Generates documentation that enables AI assistants to be immediately productive in your codebase |
| 41 | +- **Mode-Specific Guidance**: Creates tailored documentation for different Roo Code modes (code, debug, architect, etc.) |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +The /init command helps LLMs understand your project's unique patterns and conventions by documenting project-specific information that isn't obvious from the code structure alone. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +### Qwen Code CLI API Support |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +We've integrated with the Qwen Code CLI tool, allowing Roo Code to leverage its free access tier for Alibaba's Qwen3 Coder models ([#7380](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7380)): |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +- **Free Inference**: Piggybacks off the Qwen Code CLI's generous free tier (2,000 requests/day and 60 requests/minute with no token limits) via OAuth, available during a promotional period. |
| 50 | +- **1M Context Windows**: Handle entire codebases in a single conversation. |
| 51 | +- **Seamless Setup**: Works automatically if you've already authenticated the Qwen Code CLI tool. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +This integration provides free access to the Qwen3 Coder models by using the local authentication from the Qwen Code CLI. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +> **📚 Documentation**: See [Qwen Code CLI Provider](/providers/qwen-code) for setup and configuration. |
| 56 | +
