NVIDIA offers free API access to Kimi K3, DeepSeek, GLM models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

NVIDIA is offering free API access to several advanced open-weight models, including Kimi K3, GLM 5.3, and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, through its NVIDIA Build platform. While the access boasts unlimited requests without a daily cap, it requires a phone number verification step that is not available in all countries, notably excluding Russia and having issues with Kazakhstan. The API is compatible with OpenAI's format, allowing for easy integration into various applications and agents, but rate limits apply, and production use may require paid options. AI

IMPACT Provides accessible, free-tier access to powerful open-weight models, potentially accelerating prototyping and evaluation for developers.

RANK_REASON This is a product offering from NVIDIA that provides access to existing models, not a new model release from a frontier lab.
