What you get

OpenAI-compatible router over a 690+ model catalog with routing, caching and fallbacks; twelve rows in it are priced 0 and the free plan is the same gateway restricted to those

Free models

nemotron-3-ultra, nemotron-3-super, gemma-4, ling-3.0-tiny, muse-glimmer-30b, nemotron-3.5-lightning

Limits, in the vendor’s words

Free plan is $0 with no credit card — 200 requests a day, free models only, with routing, caching, fallbacks, spend tracking and EU data residency included; past that the same key moves to pay-as-you-go

Callable ids: nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b, nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b, nvidia/nemotron-3-nano-30b-a3b, nvidia/nemotron-3-nano-omni-30b-a3b-reasoning, nvidia/nemotron-3.5-content-safety, novita/inclusionai/ling-3.0-tiny, google/gemma-4-31b-it, poolside/laguna-xs.2, poolside/laguna-m.1, mistral/leanstral-1-5, nvidia/muse-glimmer-30b, nvidia/nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b
Note: the twelve ids listed are every row the catalog prices at 0, and the free plan serves those alone; ids carry no :free suffix, so the price is the only thing separating them from the metered rows. Every NVIDIA and Poolside row is marked data_used_for_training with 30-day retention, and nemotron-3.5-content-safety is a guardrail classifier. For Claude Code, the guide sets ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to https://router.requesty.ai (router.eu.requesty.ai for EU residency)
