This video shows how to use the Kimi K2.6 model for free inside OpenCode via Cloudflare Workers AI, which offers 100,000 free requests per day.
Demo of Kimi K2.6 in Action ⏱ 0:00
•The presenter pasted a long prompt into Kimi K2.6 via OpenCode.•The model executed step‑by‑step and created a complete React project with React Vite, Tailwind CSS, and a full file structure (components, sections, etc.).•The build took 7 minutes 20 seconds and never stopped mid‑work.•Final output was a complex website, not minimal; the code included important styles as mentioned in the prompt.Cloudflare Workers AI Free Tier Details ⏱ 1:32
•Cloudflare Workers AI provides free access to the Kimi K2.6 model API.•Limit: 100,000 requests per day — enough for individual projects.•The model responds very fast via Cloudflare's infrastructure.Step‑by‑Step Setup Guide ⏱ 3:02
•Install OpenCode desktop version (recommended) from the download section appropriate for your OS.•Create a Cloudflare account at the link in the description (workers AI page).•In the Cloudflare dashboard: go to AI → Workers AI.•Click "Create a Workers AI API token" – rest API must be selected first.•Copy the API token and paste it into OpenCode settings: Settings → Provider → Cloudflare Workers AI (search "cloud").•You also need your Account ID (found on the Workers AI page). Do not share it.•Set the Account ID as an environment variable: - For Windows: setx CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID <your_account_id> in PowerShell.
- For Linux/Mac: replace setx with export.
- Close the PowerShell session, open a new one, and verify with a command (provided in description) that prints the variable.
Usage Limits and Practical Notes ⏱ 9:13
•OpenCode sends many underlying requests for complex projects, so you may encounter the daily limit if building large projects.•For normal interactive usage, you can use it for a long time without hitting the limit.•The limit resets each day; if you face issues, you can continue the next day.•The presenter did not hit any limit while building the demo project.•Viewers are encouraged to try it and report their experience with limits.Key Takeaways
•Kimi K2.6 can be used for free via Cloudflare Workers AI with a daily limit of 100,000 requests.•OpenCode desktop version is recommended for managing the AI coding agent.•Setup requires a Cloudflare account, an API token, and setting the Account ID as an environment variable.•The model can build complex projects (e.g., React + Tailwind CSS) step by step in about 7 minutes.•The daily limit resets; you can spread work across days if needed.Conclusion
