How to use Qwen for free
- Install FreeLLMAPI — the open-source router (GitHub). It runs locally and keeps your keys on your machine.
- Add a free key for AINative Studio (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="Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-Next",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

Is the Qwen API really free?
Yes — these Qwen models run on genuine provider free tiers (served free by AINative Studio, Cloudflare Workers AI, Groq, HuggingFace Router, ModelScope, NavyAI, OVH AI Endpoints, SEA-LION). 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 Qwen 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.
