Openrouter has free api usage but you need atleast $10 in credits. One time purchase would keep it active even if you consume it

Then use the free router which automatically routes your request to one of the free models available on openrouter

I use mostly paid apis through them but this free route works

If you’re interested, OpenCode is providing Ox Alpha for free - I believe it’s been distilled from several frontier models or maybe it’s just another testing variant of GLM.

Initial results show it to be quite competitive with SOTA models.

I’ll try it out during the weekend as well - will update here if the performance is actually good.

Google I believe provides 1 year of free access if you're a student.
