What you get

OpenAI-compatible gateway whose :free lane rotates — three zero-priced ids on 2026-09-16, Meta’s Muse Glimmer 30B, DeepSeek V4 Flash and MiniMax M2.7 — beside 257 metered rows in the same catalog

Free models

deepseek-v4-flash, minimax-m2.7, muse-glimmer-30b

Limits, in the vendor’s words

Free models — every id ending :free — are capped at 5 requests per minute and 200 per day and answer 429 past either; the pay-as-you-go ids beside them have no API-level rate limits, only edge DDoS protection (docs.routeway.ai, read 2026-08-30). The lane itself rotates: ten zero-priced ids on 2026-08-14, three on 2026-09-16, with ids joining and leaving within days while their metered twins stay. The gateway publishes no legal entity or terms of service and is supported through Discord alone: a fallback lane, not a dependency

Connect

• Base URL: https://api.routeway.ai/v1
• Key: ROUTEWAY_API_KEY — get one at https://routeway.ai/dashboard/keys
• Callable ids: muse-glimmer-30b:free, deepseek-v4-flash:free, minimax-m2.7:free
• Note: the three :free ids are every zero-priced row in the catalog on 2026-09-16, all marked available; only the :free suffix is free, and the same catalog meters Claude and GPT at list rates. An id joins the Models column only after two weeks in the lane, since every family there is re-checked on every run and three misses archive the row
