This repository serves as a curated list of free API resources for accessing Large Language Models (LLMs). It targets developers, researchers, and hobbyists looking to experiment with or integrate LLM capabilities without incurring significant costs, providing a valuable starting point for exploring various models and providers.

How It Works

The project aggregates publicly available LLM inference endpoints, categorizing them by their pricing model: entirely free, offering trial credits, or providing free tiers with specific limitations. It details available models, associated rate limits (requests per minute/day, tokens per minute/day), and any specific requirements like phone number verification or data usage consent. This structured approach allows users to quickly identify suitable and cost-effective LLM access points.

Quick Start & Requirements

This is a curated list; there is no installation or code execution required. Users simply browse the README for API endpoints and associated details.

Highlighted Details

• Extensive coverage of providers including Google AI Studio, HuggingFace, Groq, Mistral, and many more.
• Detailed breakdown of rate limits and model availability for each provider.
• Categorization into "Free Providers," "Providers with trial credits," and "Free Beta" services.
• Includes specific model names and their associated limitations (e.g., context window, token limits).

Maintenance & Community

The repository is maintained by cheahjs. Further community engagement or roadmap details are not explicitly mentioned in the README.

Licensing & Compatibility

The repository itself is licensed under the MIT License, allowing for broad use and modification. However, the usage of the listed LLM API resources is subject to the terms and conditions of each individual provider.

Limitations & Caveats

The list is dynamic, and provider offerings, limits, and availability can change without notice. Some services may require phone number verification or consent to data usage for training, which could be a barrier for some users. The "free" nature of these services means they are often subject to stricter rate limits and potential abuse prevention measures.
