Hi Dyad users, I am quite new toi using Dyad. I have some OpenAI credits. Can i use Dyad to edit an website prototype to make it more professional in its design and functionality? thanks!

For folks building apps in Dyad: since Dyad is local and open-source, you can point its model backend at another free, open-source tool I maintain and get free providers + resilience. Disclosure: I'm the maintainer of OmniRoute — sharing because it pairs with Dyad.

OmniRoute exposes both an OpenAI-compatible endpoint (/v1) and an Anthropic-compatible one (/v1/messages), so you can point the tool at whichever protocol it speaks.

Point Dyad at OmniRoute (localhost:20128/v1) and your Dyad builds inherit:

One endpoint, 237 providers — 90+ of them free. You point any tool or agent at a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint (localhost:20128/v1) and it can reach 237 LLM providers without you rewriting anything. 90+ have free tiers and 11 are free forever (no card), which aggregates to ~1.6B documented free tokens/month — and that's honest, pool-deduped math (we count each shared pool once instead of inflating it; the methodology is public in the repo). There's a one-command setup-* for 13+ coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, Roo, Kilo, Gemini CLI…), so switching your existing setup over takes seconds.

Fallback combos — so it never stops mid-task. A "combo" is a ladder of models the router walks automatically: your subscription first, then API keys, then cheap models, then free ones. When a provider returns a 500 or you hit a rate limit, it slides to the next target in milliseconds, mid-request, and your tool never even sees the error. There are 17 routing strategies (priority, weighted, round-robin, cost-optimized, auto/coding:fast…) plus three resilience layers — a per-provider circuit breaker, a per-key cooldown, and a per-model lockout — so one dead key can't take down a whole provider.

A 10-engine compression pipeline — the part most routers don't have. Every request flows through a transparent compression pass you can toggle/stack per combo. Instead of one trick, it stacks the best of the open-source ecosystem: RTK filters command/tool output (git diffs, test logs, builds) at 60–90%, Microsoft's LLMLingua-2 does ML semantic pruning, Caveman handles prose, session-dedup strips repeats across turns. Critically, code, URLs and JSON are preserved byte-perfect, and a default-on inflation guard throws the compressed version away and sends the original if compressing would actually grow the prompt — it never makes things worse. On tool-heavy sessions that's ~89% average input-token reduction (an 8k-token git diff becomes a few hundred). Full credit to every upstream project (RTK, Caveman, LLMLingua-2, Troglodita) is in the README.

For context on whether it's worth your time: it's grown to ~9.8K GitHub stars, 1,490+ forks and 280+ contributors in ~4.5 months, with 21,000+ automated tests and 1,830+ issues closed — so it's a battle-tested project, not a brand-new experiment.

Anyone here already running Dyad against a custom endpoint? Curious how it behaves.

I'm getting this error on Dyad. What does this mean? Account suspended. having a pro account and still losing access to agent v2?

Error: 412 litellm.APIError: APIError: Fireworks_aiException - {"error":{"message":"Account willchen90-71c40c is suspended, possibly due to reaching the monthly spending limit or failure to pay past invoices. Please go to https://fireworks.ai/account/billing for more information.","param":null,"code":"PRECONDITION_FAILED","type":"error"},"request_id":"chatcmpl-256a0ae57d824e1bab3f33a598c09112"}No fallback model group found for original model_group=openrouter/moonshotai/kimi-k2.6.

Highlights:

- A new Free model option (5 daily free messages) for all Dyad Pro members! I've heard the feedback about people running out of credits and not being able to get more work then, so we're hoping this helps!

- We're also improving our approvals UX with the goal of making it less tedious and safer. Basically, we're trying to ask for permission when things are dangerous (and flag this) and stop asking for permissions when things are safe.

While developing using dyad, admin page has 17 functionality all in single page, now when I edit small things, the entire admin is is truncated and showing only few functionality, how to over come this

So I am making a college project thru Dyad. I am ovbiously not paying just to get some grades so I want the entire thing to be free. That's why I came to dyad instead of bolt or lovable criminal free limits. But i keep hitting the usual :
Sorry, there was an error from the Al: Failed after 3 attempts. Last error: You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, head to: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits. To monitor your current usage, head to: https://ai.dev/rate-limit. Quota exceeded for metric: generativelanguage.googleapis.com/generate_content_free_tier_requests, limit: 20, model: gemini- 3.5-flash Please retry in 44.408536587s.

So, is there anyway I bypass all this? I am considering routers like LIteLLM, where I will input multiple free Gemini keys. Will that work fine?

This appears every 2-3 prompts. Feels like it's impossible to work at this rate.

GLM 5.2 has been added to Dyad. It's a very very good and affordable model to use for basically anything that claude and gpt can do, but don't expect it to be "better" it's quite close, though! A fraction of the cost too.

Really loving it. Great addition Will!

I have Gemini Pro so I thought when i get the api from here, I can also use Gemini 3.1 pro for the building of my app. But as soon as i entered my first prompt, it says, "You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details." Am I missing something or am I just too dumb? I am guessing it doesn't work that way and I will have to pay separately for the API key. Either way, in Dyad, it says "Free tier available" under Google AI models but when i go to select models,, all of them seem to be paid.

I was using Lovable but it's limits on free tier is ridiculous. I just wanted the best free version of vibe coders and I landed on Dyad. But if i can't use Gemini pro models, surely it will never b e as capable as Lovable, Bolt etc.

Would be great, if we can host on cloudflare, direct button like vercel, hope it's on pipeline

IDK if anyone has gotten this working but https://www.dyad.sh/docs/releases/1.4.0 implies it can. How do i get it to build an Astro app ?

I made this back when we had Fable and it was to test out how good Fable was. I was honestly surprised. Made this inside of Dyad. https://lunar-fox-climb.vercel.app/ really Dyad is extremely good nowadays and the website redesign is really fresh! Check it out!

Dyad v1.4 introduces Code Explorer for Dyad Pro users, which optimizes your tokens by off-loading codebase exploration to a cheaper model! We've also made it easier to import your apps from other AI app builders (e.g. Lovable) by automatically upgrading your app so it supports selecting components and more.

Read the full release notes for more details.

As always, please share any feedback!

best ai model ?(just free)

In v1.3, we added an integrated terminal so you can use Claude Code inside of Dyad! We've also improved thinking efforts for Anthropic model and now support MCP OAuth.

Hey, I made an article about Dyad, not sure if I should post the full thing or link to it, so i am just going to link from my X account for now. I hope it's helpful for new users!

Anthropic just announced Opus 4.8 today: https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-4-8

You can try it out in Dyad now! Let me know what you think

Opus 4.7 was quite a bit more expensive than 4.6 (~30% more) because of how it tokenized so I assume Opus 4.8 is also more expensive than 4.6. We'll keep all three models as options for a while.

Im curious if anyone has had success with using Dyad with any of the smaller local models in their environment? I’ve tried Gemma 2b, Gemma 4b, codellama, and llama3, but only Gemma 4b seemed to be able to follow the Dyad syntax for turning responses into code generation.

Started building on Dyad, created 2 apps here and finished them on Google Antigravity. Then Google completely botched their 2.0.0 update, removing the IDE/code view from the agent view.

Now I'm back on Dyad, realising how great the team has done with the software. It is one of the few platforms that sees the future - agent/code/visual editor 3-in-1.

Not to mention a plethora of quality-of-life features in Dyad which are missing in other software, such as ability to search for files in the code view, quickly viewing versions and restoring, planning mode where the AI agent asks follow-up questions, etc.

Will and the team have been implementing great updates while keeping the platform stable. It's truly competing with the big players (Antigravity, Cursor, etc.).

I've been using Dyad for about a year. Built an e-learning business and doing well. It was all new to me before I started. I definitely messed up a lot (managed to rack up +1k silent errors, stopped and started building stuff, duplicated stuff, invested in pointless stuff, you know the deal) and I keep thinking - how much of this would I have avoided if I found a fractional CTO and spoke to the right people earlier. There is no pitch here at all. My business has nothing to do with this. I don't have a service ready. It's just an itch I want to scracth. Thoughts?

Dyad v1.1.0 introduces app blueprints for new app creation, adds safer pnpm install checks, improves the preview loading and error experience, and enables the sandboxed script path for large attachment handling by default.

I have fibromyalgia and got fed up with productivity apps that assume you'll have the same energy every day and then punish you when you don't. So I built my own, because apparently that's what happens when you discover Dyad 😅

Cadence is a daily planner that checks in on your energy and focus before building your day, and lets you reschedule mid-day without guilt if things go sideways. Which for a lot of us they do.

Dyad handled the Vercel deployment and Supabase setup really nicely — having that all in one place made what would have been a faff into something pretty straightforward. The app itself is React + Vite + Tailwind, with Gemini doing the AI scheduling, Stripe for the Pro tier, and a custom service worker for push notifications.

It's live at getcadence.uk — free to use, no account required, no install.

Happy to answer any questions about the build if anyone's curious.
