contents The free-fermion point refers to a $\operatorname{GL}(2)\times\operatorname{GL}(1)$ parametrized Yang-Baxter equation within the six-vertex model. It has been known for a long time that this is connected with the quantum group $U_q(\mathfrak{gl}(1|1))$. We demonstrate that $R$-matrices from the finite quantum superalgebra $U_q(\mathfrak{gl}(1|1))$ produce a dense subset of the free-fermionic Yang-Baxter equations of the six-vertex model, matching those of the prime, simple modules in the affine quantum superalgebra $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}(1|1))$. Either of these quantum groups can be used to generate the full free-fermion point, and we discuss them both. Our discussion includes 6 families of six-vertex models used by Brubaker, Bump, and Friedberg in connection with Tokuyama's theorem, a deformation of the Weyl character formula. Thus our work gives quantum group interpretations for those models, known informally as Tokuyama ice.
