SambaNova Cloud

🔌 LLM APIs with free tier · no card · live — last verified by a probe on 2026-09-17 · cloud.sambanova.ai · back to the whole list

What you get

Open models on SambaNova’s RDU hardware, OpenAI-compatible; the free tier is the one that applies while no payment method is linked, so linking a card is what ends it

Free models

deepseek, gpt-oss, gemma-4

Limits, in the vendor’s words

20 req/min, 20 req/day and 200,000 tokens/day per model on the free tier; five models carry it (DeepSeek V3.1/V3.2, Llama 3.3 70B, gpt-oss-120b, Gemma 4)

• Callable ids: DeepSeek-V3.1, Meta-Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct, gpt-oss-120b
• Note: model ids are case-sensitive; the catalog publishes list prices for every row, so the free tier is a quota rather than a zero-priced lane
