What you get

Hosted OpenAI-compatible API with a no-card Free plan and an automatic model router

Free models

The vendor does not identify which models the free offer includes. See Limits for the published conditions.

Limits, in the vendor’s words

Free API allowance: Usage allowance: amount not published (period not published); scope not published

Sign in with Google or GitHub and create a dashboard key. Free allows three active API keys; numerical request and token budgets and reset periods are not published. Capacity, rate limits and fair use apply. The auto router can change its underlying model. Documentation also describes hrllm, but the current public catalog does not list it. Prompts, tool inputs and outputs may be collected to deliver and secure the service; retention varies by data type. No training exclusion is established. Grant activation and authenticated generation have not been checked here.

Where it is offered

The vendor names no country it keeps the offer from (source, read 2026-11-03).

Key: LLM_KIWI_API_KEY — get one at https://llm.kiwi/login
Callable ids: auto
Note: auto is the documented default and a router, with no fixed underlying model identity. Chat Completions and streaming are documented; function tools, Responses and a fixed context window are not established. Do not assume the account can use every public catalog ID.

Try it from your terminal with your key in LLM_KIWI_API_KEY — it goes from your machine to the vendor and nowhere else:

curl -s https://api.llm.kiwi/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LLM_KIWI_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"model":"auto","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"2+2? MAKE NO MISTAKES."}]}'
