Roo Code Cloud Provider Overview

To make it as smooth as possible to use Roo Code, which depends on a provider service for LLM inference, we've built the Roo Code Cloud Provider.

You don't have to use our provider to use Roo Code (you can choose from dozens), but it's the easiest way to do it, since it only needs your Roo Code Cloud account and offers a selection of models we tested and approved to work with Roo Code.:

  • State of the art models from the top frontier labs (including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAi, etc)
  • Tested open weight models from upcoming labs (Moonshot AI, MiniMax, GLM, etc)

Model Availability​

Specific model availability changes over time. We strive to keep the list relatively short, so you know you can trust whatever you pick.

You can always find the current list on our website or the Roo Code Cloud app, under "Models".

Price and Privacy​

We never use your data for training and don't keep logs of the prompts themselves (keep in mind that if you use task sync or Cloud Agents, we have to keep copies of your tasks for obvious reasons).

Sometimes stealth models are offered completely for free. These are usually advanced models in late stages of testing, with code names and limited availability. These models will most likely involve the use of your prompts as training data, so be mindful of that when using.

Paid models most likely don't use any of your data for training, but it's always best to check the privacy policy of the vendors themselves.

You can always find the current pricing on our website or the Roo Code Cloud app, under "Models".

Looking for free inference?

When you sign up for a Roo Code Cloud account, you'll be given a number of "Free Minutes" to try the product out (you'll see a cute gift box icon). Those free minutes cover both the Cloud Agent run time and inference via the Roo Code Cloud provider (which, as we established, cost credits). Those can't be used in the extension.

If you want free inference in the extension, choose a free model (or another provider which may offer it to you for free).

How to use it​

Roo Code Cloud Agents​

When choosing a model to power your agent, just pick the Roo Code Cloud provider. There aren't really any more instructions needed :)

Roo Code VS Code Extension​

Ensure you're logged into your Cloud account in the extension, and you'll be able to configure Roo as a provider in Provider Settings.

In 3rd-party tools​

Since it's designed to make it easier to use Roo, we don't make the provider available in other products. There's no API key for you to copy and use elsewhere.
