Free models

qwen3.8-flash

Limits, in the vendor’s words

“15 free requests a day. No card required.” on the home page and “No card required, free forever” on the Free plan card, at 128K context, against $19/mo Builder and $39/mo Pro — a handful of agent turns a day. The model is Qwen3.8 Flash, id qwen3.8-flash, charted with Artificial Analysis scores for Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, the mixture-of-experts Qwen published open-weight on 2026-08-24 (about 180B parameters, 10 of 512 experts active). Yolo-Auto “runs the model-serving stack rather than reselling a third-party model API”. The FAQ calls the free tier “for testing” where the plan card says “free forever”, and the terms forbid using “multiple accounts … to combine capacity”. Sign-in is through Google, GitHub or Discord, and prompt and response bodies are “not routinely retained”. Read 2026-09-17

• Note: qwen3.8-flash is the one id the Free plan serves, “the recommended model for coding, text, and tool use” in the docs; qwen3.8-27b, the id this row carried until 2026-09-16, is still accepted from clients already configured with it, and yolo is a paid-only route whose server-side target can change. /v1/models and /v1/usage answer 401 without a key, and the free plan’s context is 128K where Pro’s is 256K
