| Quota | trial_credit [rpm, credits, concurrency] “Free-LLM quota table: '60 RPM | $5 credit | ~5M tokens (varies) | One-time | 40+ open-source models'. Official rate-limits docs: 'Default limit: 200 concurrent requests per model'; exceeding returns 'HTTP 429 with a Rate limited message'.” |
| Signup friction | steps unknown |
| Env var | DEEPINFRA_API_KEY |
| Notes | Pay-per-token host for open models ('you only pay for what you use. There are no long-term contracts or upfront costs' per official pricing). Categorized trial_credit on the strength of Free-LLM's $5-credit row, but official pages contradict the friction claim (card/pre-pay required) — treat as low-friction-cheap rather than truly free. OpenAI-compatible base URL https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/openai is DeepInfra's long-standing documented endpoint but was not re-confirmed on the two pages fetched this pass. cheahjs README does not list DeepInfra. |
