Free endpoints for the models build.nvidia.com marks “Free Endpoint”, open-weight models from several labs among them, called with a free NVIDIA Developer Program key at integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1 (OpenAI-compatible)
No card, but an API key requires an NVIDIA Developer Program account and phone verification in a supported country. Published ceilings can vary by model and traffic can cause throttling. Vendor forum reports describe new personal keys that can list models but receive 404 on chat calls; an issued key alone does not establish working inference. Model pages identify available and deprecated endpoints; copy current IDs from the catalog.

Ad-funded coding agent for CLI, desktop, web, cloud and chat, with daily regional allowances and conditional free-session access
Available models depend on the app and access level. “Promotional prices are temporary, and any price may change.” “Freebuff collects prompts, messages, code, files, repository data, and agent traces when you use features that need them”. Check the balance and picker in your app.
Daily allowance — the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Austria, Luxembourg, Iceland, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Malta, South Korea: 30 hours per day; Other countries: 5 hours per day; VPN or proxy: 4 hours per day.
Check your account’s picker for current model hour prices. Solar Pro 4: shared daily hours; available in limited mode; Solar Mini 4: shared daily hours; available in limited mode; MiMo V2.6 Flash Fast: shared daily hours; available in limited mode; GLM 5.3 Flash: shared daily hours; available in limited mode; DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 10/17: shared daily hours; available in limited mode; GPT-6 Luna: shared daily hours; full access only; MiMo 2.6 Pro: shared daily hours; full access only; DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Fast 10/17: shared daily hours; full access only; GPT-6.1 Terra: shared daily hours; full access only; GPT-6.1 Sol: paid plan; Gemini 4 Argon: paid plan; Gemini 3.8 Flash: paid plan; Muse Spark 1.3: shared daily hours; full access only; Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite: specialist tasks only.
Your balance is measured in hours. Gemini 3.8 Flash: “PAID-ONLY row” (source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodebuffAI/codebuff/main/common/src/constants/freebuff-models.ts). GPT-6.1 Sol, Gemini 4 Argon: The public Free-plan comparison requires a paid plan; paid plans allow one one-hour session per day. (source: https://freebuff.com/plans). Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite handles specialist tasks such as file finding and research. Muse Spark 1.3: Credit-funded at full access; a paid plan is required at limited access. (source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodebuffAI/codebuff/main/common/src/constants/freebuff-models.ts). GPT-6.1 Terra: “Open on full access, a paid plan on limited access. One session a day on every plan.” (source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodebuffAI/codebuff/main/common/src/constants/freebuff-sol-promo.ts).
MiMo V2.6 Flash Fast is the default on CLI, Desktop, Web, and Cloud. Daily hours refill at midnight in your local timezone and unused daily hours do not carry over. Older app versions show the same balance as Freebucks, five to an hour. (source: https://freebuff.com/llms.txt).

Free IDs end in -free; paid twins are metered at list prices. The daily request and token caps are independent per account and model, rather than a pool to split across models. Published caps apply to their named model IDs; the remaining routes have no numerical budget published. Request limits and campaign durations apply to their named IDs. nemotron-3.5-content-safety-free is a classifier; the lfm-2.5-2.6b-free developer advises against agentic coding use.

Z.ai’s desktop coding agent, free as an app, with five days of its GLM models for a new user and no card
Global trial: GLM-5-turbo: 2,000,000 tokens/day per account per model (First 5 days only)
BigModel trial: GLM-5.3: 3,000,000 tokens/day per account per model (First 5 days only)
BigModel trial: GLM-5.3-Flash: 5,000,000 tokens/day per account per model (First 5 days only)
Global and mainland BigModel accounts have different per-model daily trial grants. The global trial covers GLM-5.3 and GLM-5-Turbo; BigModel covers GLM-5.3 and GLM-5.3-Flash in separate buckets. Both end after the first five days and do not create ongoing daily access. Afterwards the app needs a GLM Coding Plan or your own API key; the application itself remains free.
