Recurring free, 40 RPM, eval-only ToS info
NVIDIA NIM replaced its depleting trial credits with a recurring per-account rate limit (40 RPM default, varies by model), verified June 2026. The trial ToS still scopes usage to evaluation/prototyping, not production.

Daily :free cap is account-wide info
OpenRouter’s :free daily cap (50/day, or 1000/day once you have ever bought $10 of credits) is shared across ALL :free models on the account, not per model. Per-row rpd values here are therefore optimistic; the router’s cooldown handling absorbs the shared 429s.

Shared weekly free credits info
ElectronHub Free renews $0.25 each week (Sunday 21:00 UTC), shared across eligible non-premium models; unused weekly credit does not roll over. These are credit-backed routes, not the separate daily :free aliases. Paid top-ups are optional and not included in this allowance. Text inference was tested; other capability flags come from the provider roster.
The :free aliases need phone verification info
ElectronHub's zero-credit ":free" aliases answered 403 "To prevent abuse and high traffic on free models, phone verification is required" on September 18, 2026. The ordinary ids this catalog carries are NOT affected and were re-tested working the same day, so the :free aliases are simply not worth adding. ElectronHub's recurring grant is $0.25 credited every Sunday at 21:00 UTC plus a separate daily Neutrino allowance.

Swap the model id for auto and the router picks the best free model that is still under its limits. Full reference: docs/api.md.
