AI Free brings DeepSeek and Qwen into the VS Code sidebar as project-aware coding agents.
Features
DeepSeek and Qwen providers.
Agent-first workflow for the currently opened VS Code workspace.
Separate agents and chat history per project.
Model picker with current DeepSeek and Qwen model aliases.
Local server bridge bundled with the extension.
Requirements
Node.js 18 or newer.
Existing AI Free authentication state for the providers you use.
Qwen login can be prepared from the main AI Free app with npm run login-qwen.
Notes
The extension stores existing provider sessions in the same local AI Free storage as the main app. It does not rename or migrate ~/.deepseek-cli or ~/.qwen-cli.
