## Overview

Get started with Bonsai and unlock free access to frontier coding models in stealth mode.

## Start coding with Bonsai CLI

The easiest way to start is with the Bonsai CLI:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install Bonsai CLI">
    ```bash theme={null}
    npm install -g @bonsai-ai/cli
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Login to Bonsai">
    ```bash theme={null}
    bonsai login
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start coding">
    ```bash theme={null}
    bonsai start
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

When you run `bonsai start`, you'll automatically be assigned a frontier model at random. Use it as you normally would!

<Note>
  **Stealth Mode**: Model names are hidden to evaluate performance without bias. You'll see fun codenames like `cute-koala` or `angry-giraffe` instead of the real model name. Model assignments reset every 24 hours.
</Note>
