Who serves it free

Hetzner Inference API

🔌 LLM APIs with free tier · no card · last probe 2026-10-26 · listed since 2026-08-30

OpenAI-compatible API on Hetzner’s own EU hardware, free for as long as the experiment runs

Provider-wide limits

Free while the Inference API remains experimental; Hetzner says it will email advance notice of a change. Per-key request and token windows both apply, with HTTP 429 at a cap. No daily, monthly or lifetime cap or end date is published. The service is offered as is for experimental use, without guaranteed availability or backups. Minting a token needs a Hetzner account; payment verification can include a card charge or other routes.

FreeInference (Harvard SEAS)

🔌 LLM APIs with free tier · no card · last probe 2026-10-26 · listed since 2026-09-05

Harvard SEAS’s MadSys Lab serving open models free to every account behind both an OpenAI-shaped and an Anthropic-shaped endpoint, with a documented Claude Code setup

Provider-wide limits

No card. This is an experimental research service with capacity-dependent limits. Prompts and responses may be logged for research; sanitized content, usage statistics and routing metrics may be published or open-sourced. Only models marked Free accept a Free key; Pro catalog rows need a Pro-enabled key.

OVHcloud AI Endpoints

🔌 LLM APIs with free tier · no card · last probe 2026-10-26 · listed since 2026-08-19

EU-hosted serverless API for open models, with anonymous OpenAI-compatible access and no signup, key or card

Provider-wide limits

The documentation attributes the anonymous cap to IP and model. Tests on 2026-09-24 instead observed callers sharing a model’s anonymous capacity, so its effective sharing scope remains disputed. Anonymous requests can receive 429 before a caller has spent the documented cap. Authenticated API keys are metered per token and use the paid project/model limits; they do not create a larger free allowance.
