6 rows on the list serve nemotron-3-nano-omni free: OpenRouter (free models), Kilo Code, Requesty, NVIDIA NIM (build.nvidia.com), AIHubMix (free models) and TokenRouter (PaleBlueDot). None asks for a card; Kilo Code answers with no account at all. The providers’ last scheduled probes were on 2026-10-26; their offers are rechecked twice a week.

One API key for a rotating set of :free model variants, open-weight and stealth models among them
1,000 requests/day per account (after 10 credits purchased all-time)
OpenRouter’s FAQ says its free models “have low rate limits” and “are usually not suitable for production use”, and its limits page warns that a negative credit balance can produce errors “including for free models” and that a 429 can come from the upstream provider rather than the platform (read 2026-09-27). The docs define the daily counter as “Free-model requests recorded so far in the current UTC day”. The higher daily ceiling is granted “starting one credit below the table’s threshold” to absorb rounding and top-up fees.

Open-source coding agent with an Auto Free mode and a keyless OpenAI-compatible gateway, alongside BYOK and local models
The free-model lineup rotates. Auto Free routes over the free models in the catalog’s autoRouting list. Other models use pay-as-you-go credits or a Kilo Pass subscription.

OpenAI-compatible router with free models beside a metered catalog, routing, caching and fallbacks
No credit card for the Free plan, which serves free models only. Routing, caching, fallbacks, spend tracking and EU data residency are included. Past the free allowance the same key moves to pay-as-you-go.

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.

OpenAI-compatible gateway with a zero-priced free-model route in its default group beside metered models
The free route belongs to the default group. Other catalog routes are metered, apart from an unmarked zero-priced stealth route. No numerical free request or token budget is published.
