I LOVE YOU COMMUNITY!

Roo Code hit 3 million installs over the last year. To be clear, that is installs, not 3 million active users, but it is still a wild number and something I am very proud of.

As announced, we are sunsetting the extension to go all-in on Roomote. The shutdown is happening tomorrow, May 15, 2026. The final Roo Code release should keep working, but it will not receive bug fixes, new features, or model updates from us after that.

This subreddit and the Roo Code Discord will also be shut down as part of this. We updated the repo, docs, and final release messaging so people are not left guessing where to go next.

Thank you everyone so much for the support. It has been a wild and exciting journey, and I am genuinely going to miss this community more than anything.

If you want to keep using a VS Code extension, the two places I would point people are ZooCode and Cline.

ZooCode

ZooCode is the community fork started by Roo Code users who want to keep the Roo-style workflow alive.

It is not run by Roo Code Inc. It is community-run. But I am glad to see people organizing around it, and if what you want is the closest continuation of Roo Code, this is the one to watch.

Cline

Cline is also an easy recommendation.

Roo Code originally started as a Cline fork, and we have had a good relationship with Saoud and the Cline team throughout. If you want an actively maintained extension with that lineage, Cline is a strong path.

If you had an unused Roo Code balance, we are refunding it. If you have billing questions, email billing@roocode.com.

Roo Code’s source code stays open, the final release should continue to work, and if what you want is an IDE extension, ZooCode and Cline are the places I’d look.

Currently the app only allows me to select GLM 5, it doesn't seem to have a way to manually edit the model to select GLM 5.1.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way?

Hello,

The latest Roocode does not have the correct context size for ChatGPT Pro subscription when using GPT5.5.

The normal API gpt5.5 has 1M context, however, the ChatGPT Pro subscription has a 270k context limit.

The issue is Roocode does not differentiate between the ChatGPT API and the ChatGPT subscription, thus causing it to fail once you hit the 270k context window.

Using latest/last Roocode release.

Thanks

Hello, i haven't tested this yet, but I'd like to find a solution so that Ling-1T is configured by default, but uses Ling Flash for code agents, including scheduling.

Ultimately, I want it to only use 1T for the most complex tasks.

Have you found an effective solution for this?

Thank you.

Used Roo code, I setup the model so planning is executed by Ling 2.6 1T and coding is executed by Ling flash, which optimizes my model use. Ever since this was implemented, I have not written a single line of code myself. I detail exactly what the AI should do, and then it does it. Even trivial things such as variable renaming. Obviously, higher-abstraction level architecture can't be handled by the AI well, nor can it find the optimal implementations; this is where my experience pays off. Prompts need to be precise for sure on the implementation. If I don't find the cleanest architecture, everything will go down the drain real fast. Still, amazing that I do not have to write code at all. This is akin to telling a junior exactly what to do and they do it instantly.

I've been playing around with this and it's good at generating code but like I feel like I'm not actually equipped to ship what it generates most of the time.

the building part feels solved but the moment I think about how to actually get this into production I'm like okay wait, what about this, what about that, what about the other thing.

I think the problem is that these tools are really good at the local optimization problem. like making code that works in isolation. but the shipping problem is a systems problem and it's not something that code generation solves.

so I've been trying to like think through the operational stuff more before I even generate the code. like if I'm thinking about what I want to build, I'm also thinking about how I'm going to deploy it and what monitoring I need and what the failure modes are.

which I probably should have been doing all along honestly.

anyway I'm not sure if this is a tool issue or a me issue but it's something I keep running into.
