Free AI APIs and Models is a directory by midudev that helps developers find and compare no-cost ways to run AI models. It brings together free tiers from 25 providers alongside nine local runtimes, presenting practical details such as daily or monthly limits, context windows, available models, signup requirements, and API base URLs. The directory lists 463 free models and highlights options for users who want to start quickly, including services with no card requirement, no signup, or OpenAI-compatible access.

Featured providers include Google AI Studio, Groq, NVIDIA NIM, OpenRouter, Cloudflare Workers AI, Mistral AI, Cohere, and Cerebras. Their offerings span text and coding models as well as image, audio, video, embedding, moderation, translation, and other specialized tools.

Filters and comparisons help visitors choose an option suited to their needs, whether they prioritize generous usage, large context windows, model variety, or privacy.
