## What it is
A machine-readable, daily-updated directory of 450+ free LLM API models from 30+ providers (Google Gemini, Groq, NVIDIA NIM, OpenRouter, etc.), with a companion website at freellm.net. It includes rate limits, context windows, credit-card requirements, and one-click config snippets for tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.

## Use cases
- find a free LLM API key for Gemini
- compare free AI API rate limits and context windows
- set up a free model in Cursor or Claude Code
- find free OpenAI-compatible endpoints without a credit card
- track when free LLM models become paid
- find a free coding model for my AI assistant

## When to choose
- you want an up-to-date, verified catalog of free LLM APIs instead of stale GitHub lists
- you need side-by-side comparison of rate limits, context windows, and signup requirements
- you want ready-made config snippets for coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or Aider

## When to avoid
- you need a library or SDK to call LLM APIs programmatically
- you only want self-hosted or local model options like Ollama on your own hardware
- you require guaranteed SLAs or paid-tier reliability
