Three open model families behind one free API key: DeepSeek V4, Qwen3.8 and Gemma 4, served from AMD GPUs through Token Lab.
Token Lab is the hosted model API inside the AMD AI Developer Program. Members activate complimentary Token Lab points and spend them on API calls.
The catch: AMD publishes no point amount, rate limits or end date for Token Lab, so treat it as a trial that can change.
How to claim: 1) Join the AMD AI Developer Program with an AMD account → 2) Open Token Lab and activate your points → 3) Create an API key and set the base URL https://api.tokenlab.amd.com/v1 in your client.
What changed
- Nov 12, 2026: AMD's AI account promoted Token Lab with DeepSeek V4, Qwen3.8, Gemma 4 "and more", with free API access for program members.
- The program page now lists "instant API access through Token Lab" next to compute credits from AMD Developer Cloud or Fireworks AI.
- Nov 13, 2026: the API endpoint is live and rejects requests without a valid Token Lab key.
What it means for you
