Developer curates list of 45 free, replenishable LLM APIs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer tested over 100 LLM providers to identify those offering free and replenishable text-generation APIs. The goal was to find services that do not require billing information and automatically refill free quotas, or at least offer a free model without requiring top-ups. The findings were compiled into a GitHub repository named "Free BYOK Models," which lists 45 verified providers along with their free tier quotas, latencies, and base URLs, useful for integrating into AI assistants and coding agents. AI
