# 🪙 One API Key. 1 Billion Free AI Tokens. Every Month.

_14 free AI providers stacked behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Self-hosted, MIT, no card._

**🎯 One key, every free brain on the internet — Gemini, Groq, Cerebras, GitHub Models + 10 more. Auto-failover when one runs dry.**

> **🧠 How it works — 30 sec**
>
> **Normal life:** You want free AI → sign up at Google → sign up at Groq → sign up at OpenRouter → juggle 14 different keys → each one rate-limits you mid-task → rage quit.
> 
> **FreeLLMAPI life:** Sign up free at each → paste all keys into the FreeLLMAPI dashboard → it gives you ONE master key. Your app calls that one key. Behind the curtain, it picks whichever provider still has budget left and routes there. One runs dry? Auto-falls-back to the next. You never see the chaos.
> 
> > 💡 Think of it like a credit-card juggling app for AI — except every “card” is a free tier and you never get a bill.
> 
> **It speaks OpenAI’s language.** Any app that works with ChatGPT’s API works with this — Cursor, LangChain, the OpenAI Python SDK, curl, whatever. Just swap one URL.

> **💰 The math — what 1 billion tokens actually buys**
>
> **Per month, free, stacked together:**
> 
> | Provider | Free quota/mo | Best for |
> | --- | --- | --- |
> | 🟦 **Mistral La Plateforme** | ~1 billion (the whale) | Mistral Large/Medium, Codestral |
> | 🟧 **Cerebras** | ~30M (1M tokens/day) | Fastest tokens you’ll ever see — 30 RPM |
> | 🟩 **Groq** | ~30M | Llama 3.3 70B, GPT-OSS 120B/20B |
> | 🌐 **OpenRouter** | ~6M (19 free models) | DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, Llama, Gemma |
> | 🟨 **Google Gemini** | ~3M (20 RPD per model) | Gemini 2.5 Flash, Pro previews |
> | 🐙 **GitHub Models** | ~18M est. (50 RPD) | GPT-4.1, GPT-4o (free Copilot tier) |
> | 🔥 **SambaNova** | ~3M | DeepSeek V3.1/V3.2, Llama 4 Maverick |
> | ☁ **Cloudflare Workers AI** | ~20M | Kimi K2.5, Qwen3, GLM-4.7 |
> | 🟪 **Z.ai (Zhipu)** | ~30M | GLM-4.5 Flash, GLM-4.7 Flash |
> | 🟫 **Cohere** | ~1-2M (1000 calls/mo, 20 RPM) | Command R+ |
> | 💎 **NVIDIA NIM** | credits-based | Llama 3.1 70B |
> 
> **That’s ~$50–150/month of API value, free, every month.**
> 
> > 💡 RPD = Requests Per Day. RPM = Per Minute. TPD = Tokens Per Day. Each provider sets their own cap.

> **🍿 The smart-routing magic**
>
> | Feature | Plain English |
> | --- | --- |
> | 🎯 `model="auto"` | The router picks the best available model for your request — you don’t even have to choose |
> | 🔁 Auto-failover | One provider rate-limits? Skips it, retries the next. Up to 20 attempts. |
> | 🧠 Sticky sessions | Multi-turn convos stay on the same model for 30 min → no hallucination spike from mid-chat switching |
> | 📊 Per-key tracking | Counts RPM/RPD/TPM/TPD per provider per model → never overshoots a free cap |
> | 🔒 Encrypted key storage | API keys locked with AES-256-GCM, decrypted only when needed |
> | 🪪 Single bearer key for your apps | Your apps see ONE key. Upstream chaos never leaks. |
> | 🩺 Health checks | Marks dead keys as `healthy / rate_limited / invalid / error`. Auto-skips dead ones. |
> | 🖥 Admin dashboard | Pretty React UI: add keys, reorder fallback order, see analytics, run prompts in a playground |
> | 🛠 Tool calling / streaming | Full OpenAI-style `tools` and `tool_choice` — works across every provider that supports it |
> | 🥧 Runs on a Raspberry Pi | ~40 MB RAM at idle. Cheap home server = free AI for life. |

> **🎮 Setup — 3 minutes**
>
> **Prereqs:** Node.js 20+ and npm. That’s it.
> 
> **Clone + install + run:**
> 
> ```auto
> git clone https://github.com/tashfeenahmed/freellmapi.git
> cd freellmapi
> npm install
> 
> ```
> 
> **Generate an encryption key** (locks your API keys at rest):
> 
> ```auto
> cp .env.example .env
> echo "ENCRYPTION_KEY=$(node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))")" >> .env
> 
> ```
> 
> **Start the server + dashboard:**
> 
> ```auto
> npm run dev
> 
> ```
> 
> **Open** [http://localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173) → paste in your provider keys → reorder the fallback chain → grab your unified key from the header. That’s the one your apps point at.
> 
> **For production (single server, no dev mode):**
> 
> ```auto
> npm run build
> node server/dist/index.js
> 
> ```

> **🪝 Hooking it up to your apps**
>
> Any OpenAI-compatible app/SDK works. Just point `base_url` at your local proxy.
> 
> **Python (the most common):**
> 
> ```python
> from openai import OpenAI
> 
> client = OpenAI(
> base_url="http://localhost:3001/v1",
> api_key="freellmapi-your-unified-key",
> )
> 
> resp = client.chat.completions.create(
> model="auto", # let the router pick, OR specify like "gemini-2.5-flash"
> messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarise the fall of Rome in one sentence."}],
> )
> print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
> 
> ```
> 
> **curl (raw test):**
> 
> ```auto
> curl http://localhost:3001/v1/chat/completions \
> -H "Authorization: Bearer freellmapi-your-unified-key" \
> -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
> -d '{"model": "auto", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "hi"}]}'
> 
> ```
> 
> > 💡 Works with **Cursor, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Continue, Hermes, etc.** — anything that says “OpenAI-compatible.” Just change one URL.

> **🛡️ Catch check**
>
> | Q | A |
> | --- | --- |
> | Actually free? | Yes. Every listed provider has a recurring free tier, no card. Sign up free, paste key, done. |
> | Quality vs paid GPT/Claude? | Mistral Large + DeepSeek V3.1 + Llama 3.3 70B = roughly Sonnet-tier for most tasks |
> | Safe? | MIT licensed, 3.5k ⭐, open source, code auditable. Keys encrypted locally. |
> | Will providers ban me? | You’re using their official free tiers within limits. Same as using each one directly. |
> | Embeddings / image gen / audio? | ❌ Not yet supported. Text + tool calls only. |
> | Multi-user / billing? | ❌ Single-user by design. Personal proxy. |
> | Logs my prompts? | Local SQLite only. Nothing phoned home. |
> | Vision / multimodal? | ❌ Not yet — text content only. |

> **🎯 What to build with this**
>
> | Play | Free fuel makes it possible |
> | --- | --- |
> | 🤖 Personal AI assistant | Run 24/7 on a Pi, never pay a bill |
> | 📝 Mass content gen | Blog posts, SEO, social — burn 18M tokens/mo guilt-free |
> | 🧪 Side project with AI | Stop ghosting your ideas because OpenAI charges money |
> | 📚 RAG over your docs | Free embeddings… wait no. Use a separate free embeddings provider. |
> | 🛠 Cursor / Continue / VS Code | Point them at this, code with free AI all day |
> | 🔬 LLM testing / benchmarking | Compare 60 free models on the same prompt, no card |
> | 📊 Internal company tool | Run on a $5 VPS, serve your whole team |

**🪄 Simple-pimple:** clone repo → npm install → paste 14 free API keys into the dashboard → get ONE master key back → use it in any OpenAI-style app. Auto-falls-back when one runs out. Free 1 billion tokens a month, forever.

_One key, every free brain. The juggling act is now someone else’s problem._

Can we add Antigravity support as well? Like now, we literally have antigravity cli there, I suppose we can use?
