20+
The "roo/sonic" model is being renamed to **"grok-code-fast-1"** (officially "Grok Code Fast"). The model will be updated by **August 29th**. This is the same powerful coding model, just with its official xAI name. The model remains **free** when accessed through Roo Code Cloud during the promotional period.
