About tau

Tau The Best Free Coding Agent What is Tau? Tau has become the best free coding agent — a single tool that fuses the Claude Code and OpenCode ecosystems into one mixed agentic environment. You get the strongest parts of both agents, plus new features and optimizations layered on top. Native adapters for 24 providers. Not a proxy, not a wrapper around someone else's wrapper. When you use Gemini, Tau speaks Gemini's API directly. Same for OpenAI, GLM, DeepSeek, Mistral, OpenRouter, AgentRouter, Vercel AI Gateway, Requesty, Command Code, MiniMax, OpenCode Zen, and the rest. Full list with per-provider notes in PROVIDERS.md. Install once. Type . Pick a provider. Work. That's it: plug and play with one command and one login flow. No shell configuration. No export statements. No environment variable archaeology. A first-run wizard handles credentials and saves them. Why Tau exists The price of AI keeps climbing. The leading agents either lock you into a single subscription, gate the good features beh
