Deep Dive

Situation

I wished to have a LLM API that is needed for my long-term projects. There are so many options I can choose from, but sometimes it always fails in the long run.

The main point of failure are the free trials and one-time credits, that once drained can never be refilled again.

Task

I promised for Free LLM APIs to follow these two main goals:

To be Free without billing info.
To be Replenishable without one-time or trial credits.

I had a third goal if second condition fails, that is:

To have a minimum of one free model without spending any cost whatsoever (>=$0.0000001).

Action

So I've gone throughout the web, sailing across websites, as I went through several popular AI agents or libraries with their provider documentation showing a list of supported providers.

The goal is to sign myself up as a normal, unpaid user whose requirement is to know whether it refreshes its free quota or not.

I then stress-tested their model endpoints from each provider according to their rate limits.

The number of LLM Providers has dropped unexpectedly due to not having a single model found to be 200 OK but requiring payment.

Result

To store it as helpful information, I made a repository that showcases all verified providers and its models under a single README.

Hence, I named it "Free BYOK Models", where it looks for "Free AI models from their BYOK-compatible LLM Providers that are free and replenishable."

Contributing

The repository is updated regularly to make it up-to-date with its latest model lists.

If you find a provider that is free and replenishable, and has no gated services, feel free to comment, or submit a PR since it updates fast.
