Hi! I am currently using Openai for our python project, but I can't find free model. Using the chat.openai.com I see that chatGpt 3.5 is free but using the API needs to be paid.
Is there any alternative? I am looking for an AI free for python, that could summarize a text conversation for me.
where can I get open ai api keys for free i tried api keys in GitHub none of them are working
So I coded a bot that uses OpenAI API and it runs great, but the 3 months expired and I no longer have a key. The usage was very minimal, in 3 months I used like 2$ worth of queries.
So are there any good free AI APIs out there at the moment? It is on a small raspberry pi so running it locally is out of the question.
Sorry for the stupid question but the OpenAI website contradicts itself a bit here and I can't find anything else on the internet. Can you use GPT 3.5 Turbo via the API, for example, even if you are only on the Free Plan?
Here https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/rate-limits/usage-tiers?context=tier-free under the section Free Tier Rate Limits it looks like you have access. If I run my Python code for access, however, I get that my rate limit has already been exceeded although I have never made a request before...
I currently pay for pro because my needs are pretty simple. I just use it for help with work and some light coding projects I do from time to time.
I barely use it but when I do I usually get close to hitting the rate limit in the webUI. That might have changes since they just changed the limit I think but still the fact remains I used it 2-3 times a week for a few questions and then once very few months for a more complicated session. I was thinking I could save some money by just using the API.
I just setup a self hosted web interface to use with the API and threw in $20 and am going to test it this month to see if I top out my usage but it made me wonder maybe I can use a open source LLM. Not too sure how it works if I can train it myself on the reference material I would like it to help with. Mainly coding and scripting is what I use it for.
How I work. For coding projects I have GPT write almost all of the code. I do iterations see what works and what doesn’t then have it write the final application. I know how to code but GPT is just so much faster and it’s stupid imo to not just have it write the whole thing. I inevitably have to make tweaks and corrections but It works well enough for the type of projects I’m working on that are just for me. Not sure if any other language models can perform as well as GPT for coding. If there is one that is free or at least cheaper than $20 a month for the amount of usage I need then I’d love to hear about it.
Hi hi.
I made a new account on IFS Chat buddy, and then made a new account on OpenAI. Once I was able to figure out how to create an API key (first go to menu and then to Dashboard and then to API keys), I made one without issue. I then pasted it in ChatBuddy and as soon as I sent my first message I received the free credit limit reached message.
When I go to the OpenAI API usage page I see that I've used 0/$5.
I'm using Firefox Beta with Block Origin installed, perhaps there is some issue with cross-site cookies...?
Seems like openAI don't provide free API key anymore.. Is there any alternative?
In online courses to learn about building LLM/ RAG apps using LlamaIndex and LangChain, instructors ask to use Open AI. But it seems, based on the error message that I get, that I need to enter my cc details to pay at least 5$ if not more to get more credits. Hence, I wonder if everyone is paying OpenAI while taking the courses or is there an online course for building LLM/RAG apps using ollama or alternatives.
Thank you in advance for your input!
I'll give out some of them if anyone wants one for OpenAI.
Hi Guys,
let's grow this thread.
Here we should accumulate all good and recommend options and the thread should serve as a reliable source for getting surprising good FREE API Options shown.
I'll start!:
I recommend using the Openrouter API Key with the unlimited and not rate limited Deepseek/Deepseek R1 0528 - free model.
It's intelligent, strong reasoning and it's good at coding but sometimes it sucks a bit.
I Roocode there is a High Reasoning mode maybe it makes things better.
In Windsurf you can use SWE-1 for free which is a good and reliable option for tool use and coding but it misses something apart from the big guns.
In TRAE you can get nearly unlimited access to Claude 4 Sonnet and other Highend Models for just 3$ a month! Thats my option right now.
And... there is a tool which can import your OpenAI-Session Cookie and can work as a local reverse proxy to make the requests from your Plus Subscription work as API request in your Coding IDE ..thats sick right?
I have tried various ocr models and preprocessing for my project for a week. Nothing works :( Openai is my last option. As shown by my friends who have it(for their companies) , it gives good result. But the getting a key for it is paid and am just a student :(
I'm thinking of cancelling my ChatGPT subscription and using an API key instead. What are some of the best apps/tools you have found that use the API key?
Hi, can we use a API key with a free ChatGPT account ?
I could generate one but when I try to use it I have the message "You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing detail..." though I had not used ChatGPT at all for the last 5 days (and very little before).
Hey,
I read the other day that someone was using gpt2 for some projects and it got me wondering what are all the alternatives for gpt3 api? I am looking at something free and somehow good. The project I read about was quite serious yet using only GPT2. Don't know where to get started, it can be used locally I think? (gpt2?)
Otherwise, what are all the other options, maybe not necessarily local installation type, just having access to an api for free?
I think google might have that but its not open to everyone right now.
What else?
Made a simple site. Yes this is a self promotion.
It costs nothing.

I only recently joined janitorAI (Absolutely love it BTW, AI's work better than any I've seen on other site's/apps!) and just used up my 500 free messages with openAI's api, and I was wondering if there is a way I can use the site for free. (I know it's only 5$ but I'm broke rn and trying to save every penny I can for necessities.) If there is, please let me know, but if not, then that's alright!
What do you guys use for api keys? I've already spent my fair share of 500 messages and open ai is not an option anymore. Do you know any great proxy servers or do you use kobold?
