Inference cloud with a zero-priced chat model through an OpenAI-compatible API, including tool calling and structured output

Free models

No free model family is currently listed here; callable ids, where the row has them, are under Connect.

Limits, in the vendor’s words

Zero-priced model: Requests allowance: amount not published (period not published); scope not published

Apodex 1.1 Mini has zero input and output prices on its public model page, pricing table and API catalog. An account and API key are required. The general quickstart asks users to check available credit and model access; it does not state a minimum payment for this zero-priced model. No numeric Free request allowance or offer deadline is published on these pages. Other models are metered.

The vendor names no country it keeps the offer from (source, read 2026-10-26).
