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.

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.

A million free tokens on each of its chat models in the Singapore region — Qwen, DeepSeek and GLM among them — valid 90 days from activation or the model’s release; OpenAI-compatible
Free grants apply in Singapore (international) only, independently per model and dated snapshot. The model pricing tables decide eligibility: Kimi has no free-quota column and glm-5.2-fast-preview has none. Account information must be completed before activation. After the grant, usage is automatically billed pay-as-you-go unless Free Quota Only is enabled separately for the model; that switch is disabled by default.

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.
