LLM7.io provides a community- and donor-supported API gateway allowing developers to access a variety of large language models through a single endpoint. It offers permanent free access tiers suitable for building, testing, and prototyping applications without needing a credit card.
Free Quotas and Rate Limits
The platform offers two ways to access the free tier:
- Free Token Access (With API Key): Registering via the LLM7.io Dashboard grants a free access token with an allowance of 1,000,000 tokens/day. Rate limits are capped at 250 requests/hour, 60 requests/minute, and 2 requests/second.
- Anonymous Access (No Key): Allows immediate API access without registration, capped at 500,000 tokens/day. Rate limits are set to 60 requests/hour, 10 requests/minute, and 1 request/second.
Daily limits are calculated using the total of input and output tokens across a rolling 24-hour window.
