FreeLLM Hub lists 460+ free LLM APIs with no credit card

FreeLLM Hub has consolidated free API access to over 460 large language models from 30 providers, with 318 requiring no credit card as of August 2026. The directory includes top-tier models like Google’s Gemini 3.6 Flash (1M context), Meta’s Llama 4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct (10M context), and DeepSeek-V4-Flash (1M context), all available without payment details. OpenRouter stands out by offering 35+ free models through a single endpoint and key, while Groq delivers fast inference for Llama and Qwen variants without rate-limit headaches. NVIDIA NIM provides 40 requests per minute with no daily token cap, and Cloudflare Workers AI offers 10K free requests daily.

The guide clarifies that while OpenAI no longer provides free credits, legitimate alternatives exist via GitHub Models (free for GitHub users), OpenRouter, or Cerebras hosting gpt-oss open-weight variants. DeepSeek’s ecosystem is particularly well-covered, with 25 models available across providers like Ollama Cloud, NVIDIA NIM, and SiliconFlow, catering to both global and China-specific users. Llama models are widely hosted for free, with Groq and Cloudflare Workers AI offering rapid inference and generous free tiers. The resource also warns against third-party “free” keys, which often lead to rate limits or expired access, and recommends secure storage via encrypted vaults.
