# Qoder offers free daily Qoduck stealth model for individual users

## Retrieval answer

Qoder says individual Qoder International users will receive a daily free allowance for Qoduck beginning November 7, 2026.

## Summary
Qoder says individual Qoder International users will receive a daily free allowance for Qoduck beginning November 7, 2026. The model’s identity and the number of free uses remain undisclosed, but eligible users can test it without spending Credits until their daily allowance runs out.

For builders, this is an access change rather than a demonstrated model release: it creates a temporary evaluation window, while leaving performance, capacity, and long-term availability open.

## What happened
Qoder’s announcement describes Qoduck as a “stealth model” whose identity has not been disclosed. Starting November 7, 2026, new and existing individual users of Qoder International can use a limited daily allowance at a Credit rate of 0.0×. The offer applies automatically; users do not need to claim it. Qoder says calls within the allowance consume no Credits, including at the highest thinking intensity, and do not draw down the 100 general-purpose Credits users may claim daily.

Eligibility covers individual accounts on Free, Pro Trial, Lite, Pro, Pro+, and Ultra plans. Paid subscribers receive more free uses per day than free users, but Qoder does not state the exact number for either group. The allowance resets automatically the next day. After a user exhausts it, Qoder says they can wait for the reset, switch to another model, or continue using Qoduck at its standard Credit rate of 0.5×. Credits used after the allowance ends are deducted from the account; the offer does not make other models free.

The promotion applies to Qoder International only. Qoder IDE, the JetBrains plugin, Qoder CLI, and other products do not support it. Teams and Enterprise subscribers are excluded and will not see Qoduck in the model picker. Eligible users should sign in to an individual Qoder International account, update Qoder to the latest version, select Qoduck in the model picker, and start using it.

The distinction between the supported product and excluded surfaces matters. A builder who normally works through Qoder’s IDE, JetBrains integration, or command-line tool cannot use this promotion there, according to Qoder. The free access is instead attached to the Qoder International product and its model picker. The announcement also says users must access Qoder through officially supported methods: unauthorized relaying, reselling, or shared third-party access can lead to access restrictions or service suspension.

Qoder has not set an end date. It says the end date will be announced in advance through official channels, and that it may adjust the daily allowance or promotion period according to resource availability. The company also warns that demand is high and responses may slow or queue at peak times. After the promotion ends, usage will be billed at the Credit rate published then.

## What the archive adds
New Runtime’s October 28, 2026 note covered OpenCode adding a separate free DeepSeek V4.1 Flash model with a reported 200K context cap ([earlier coverage](https://newruntime.com/posts/opencode-makes-deepseek-v4-1-flash-free-on-635004/)). Both stories concern free access to a coding model, but this is a new offer from Qoder, not an update to OpenCode’s access terms.

## Trend signal
This does not yet fit a pattern New Runtime tracks. The announcement establishes a temporary, individually scoped free allowance, but does not report completed-task costs, usage outcomes, or a durable change to how coding agents expose capabilities.

## Why now
Qoder sets the promotion’s start at November 7, 2026, but does not explain why it is launching then. Its announcement frames the offer as limited-time access and warns that Qoduck is already in high demand. The timing therefore creates an immediate testing opportunity, not evidence of a permanent product-tier change.

## Connections to other events
New Runtime’s earlier coverage of OpenCode’s free DeepSeek V4.1 Flash access showed another platform using free model availability to lower the cost of trying a coding model. Qoder’s offer differs in a consequential way: Qoduck’s identity is withheld, its daily allowance is unspecified, and access is confined to individual Qoder International accounts rather than a stated context-window offer.

## Why it matters
For an individual builder already using Qoder International, the offer creates a low-cost way to try Qoduck on real coding tasks: calls within the daily allowance do not consume Credits, even at the highest thinking intensity. That can make side-by-side evaluation easier, especially for users who are unwilling to spend their regular balance on an unfamiliar model.

The practical value is bounded. The daily cap is unspecified, paid users receive a larger but still undisclosed allowance, and the promotion has no announced end date. Teams cannot use the offer, nor can individual users access it through the IDE, JetBrains plugin, or CLI. A team evaluating coding models should therefore avoid treating this as a dependable shared evaluation budget or assuming it covers its usual Qoder workflow. It is a chance for eligible individuals to test, not a commitment to ongoing free service.

There is also no basis yet for selecting Qoduck over a named alternative. Qoder has not attached benchmarks, architecture details, context limits, or reliability metrics to the promotion. The useful decision is operational: run a bounded comparison on work that can be checked, then decide whether any observed benefit persists once the free allowance is exhausted.

## Limits and uncertainty
Qoder has not identified Qoduck, disclosed its architecture or capabilities, or published evaluation results in the announcement. It does not give the daily number of free uses, explain how a “use” is counted, or specify how long the promotion will last. Qoder says it may adjust the allowance and that high demand can slow responses or create queues.

The announcement does not independently establish model quality, reliability, latency, context capacity, or performance against alternatives; those remain matters for users to test. Nor does it state the later paid rate after the promotion. Qoder says that post-promotion billing will use the Credit rate published at that time, which may differ from the current standard rate of 0.5×.

## Skill to build now
If you have an eligible individual account, prepare a small evaluation set before trying Qoduck: a routine code change, a debugging task, and a task with clear acceptance checks. Record the result, elapsed time, retries, and whether you hit the daily allowance. Keep the tests in Qoder International, since the promotion does not apply to its IDE, JetBrains plugin, or CLI.

Use the same tasks with a model you already know where possible. That will not establish a general benchmark, but it can show whether Qoduck changes useful outcomes in your own workflow before you spend account Credits or redesign a team process around it.

## Reader takeaway
Qoder is offering individuals a temporary daily window to try an undisclosed coding model without spending Credits. The useful opportunity is experimentation, not a predictable free quota: the allowance size is unknown, enterprise accounts are excluded, and the promotion can change or end.

## Open question
What model is Qoduck, and how many free uses will Qoder give each account per day?
