5 rows on the list serve nemotron-3.5-super-vl-120b-a12b free: OpenRouter (free models), Kilo Code, NVIDIA NIM (build.nvidia.com), Cline and LLMTR. 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.

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.

Open-source coding agent for VS Code, JetBrains and the terminal; signing in to its own Cline provider unlocks a rotating set of free models, each with a daily allowance, beside pay-as-you-go credits, the $9.99 ClinePass plan and BYOK
Free promotions require a Cline account, with Google, GitHub or email signup and no card. The daily per-model scope is also reported by the client stop message: You've reached today's free usage limit for this model. The picker’s free list rotates. These models work only in the Cline IDE extension and CLI, not through the Cline API. Free usage may improve model performance and quality.

Free chat rows can be called on a new account with zero balance before any top-up. Paid use is prepaid; an 8% margin applies once at top-up, not to model prices. Prompt and response bodies are not permanently written to the usage and billing database. Heabsy requires provider-specific data-transfer consent: “Heabsy models cannot be called until your account has granted the data-transfer consent for Heabsy”. Its stream is buffered until completion, and reasoning_effort is unsupported. For free Nemotron3.5 Super VL, inputs “may be retained by the provider and used to improve the model”. Shanghai AI Lab prompts and completions may be logged by the provider and used to improve models.
