In this video, I test and review Sonic, a new coding/reasoning model available in RooCode, Cline, OpenCode, and Cursor—how to enable it for free, who likely provides it (xAI/Grok), and how it performs across my coding benchmarks.

Key Takeaways:

🚀 Sonic is now available in RooCode, Cline, OpenCode, and Cursor.
🆓 Free access on RooCode for ~72 hours (no limits) and currently free in Cline.
🧠 262k context window with strong reasoning and solid tool-calling.
🎛️ Roo defaults: temperature ~0.7 and ~16k max output to avoid reasoning loops.
🧩 Likely an xAI Grok Code model; “Number of sources used” and live search hints point to xAI.
🧪 Tested raw via RooCode Cloud API; scored each response out of 20 for code quality and functionality.
🧯 Mixed results: floor plan failed, SVG panda off, ThreeJS Pokéball off, chess autoplay made illegal moves; Minecraft clone (Kandinsky style) and butterfly garden were best.
📊 Overall 7th on my leaderboard; fine coding model, not great at general tasks.
💰 Worth it if priced like GPT-5 Mini; not recommended at Sonnet-tier pricing; GLM 4.5 remains a standout open model.
📵 Not multimodal (unlike GPT-5 Mini).
