What this actually is

Every serious AI lab now hands out a free tier. A few million tokens a month here, a few thousand requests a day there. On its own each one is a toy, which is why most developers sign up for one, hit a wall, and go pay for a plan.

FreeLLMAPI is an MIT licensed proxy that stacks them. You add the free keys you already qualify for, and it serves all of them behind a single OpenAI compatible endpoint. Point any OpenAI client at your local server and it routes transparently across whichever providers you have added.

  • Repo: github.com/tashfeenahmed/freellmapi
  • 18,265 stars, MIT licence, TypeScript
  • 29 free providers, 251 model families, 358 free model endpoints
  • Roughly 4 billion tokens per month of listed free capacity
  • Keys are AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest and decrypted in memory per request
