Text‑generation LLM APIs that are free and replenishable, with no trial traps or one‑time credits

I dug through hundreds of LLM providers across the web and GitHub to find genuinely free AI APIs. Some have a genuine free tier, others... give a free tier worth of draining trial credits or one-time credits in the long run, which makes it a one-time use so that you won't use that provider ever again. So, I set a strict standard: no credit card, and the free quota must automatically refill. Then I stress‑tested hundreds of providers, where only 35+ passed. I test every model to make sure its endpoint works. If a provider offers even one permanently free model, I keep it. Otherwise, it’s ignored, no exceptions. The list focuses on text‑out models, and I’ve put together a Top 10 table so you can quickly find the best ones for coding. That table only changes when a new provider adds a stronger model. If a provider changes their terms and the free quota is no longer replenishable, I remove it. Otherwise, it stays. From the repository, It includes a huge selection of models with free‑tier quotas, star ratings, and base URLs. Use it for coding, chatting, or both. Zero cost, however you work. PRs are welcome. Feel free to ask away any questions or thoughts.
