How to use Llama for free
- Install FreeLLMAPI — the open-source router (GitHub). It runs locally and keeps your keys on your machine.
- Add a free key for AI Horde (or any listed provider) on the Keys page — no credit card required.
- Point your OpenAI client at the local endpoint and pick a model:
from openai import OpenAI
# FreeLLMAPI runs locally; grab your unified key + endpoint on the Keys page.
client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:3001/v1", api_key="freellmapi-...")
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-oss:120b",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
Frequently asked questions
Is the Llama API really free?
Yes — these Llama models run on genuine provider free tiers (served free by AI Horde, Aion Labs, Api.Airforce, Cloudflare Workers AI, DreamPrompting, ElectronHub, Groq, NVIDIA NIM, OVH AI Endpoints, Ollama Cloud, SEA-LION, Septor Labs). Inference costs nothing; you only add a free provider key.
Do I need a credit card?
No. The providers here offer free tiers that work without a card. You add the free key once and FreeLLMAPI routes to it.
How do I call Llama through FreeLLMAPI?
Install the open-source router, add the provider's free key on the Keys page, then point any OpenAI SDK at your local endpoint — see the code sample above.
