What you get from OVHcloud AI Endpoints Free Tier for free
Overview
OVHcloud AI Endpoints is a serverless API for open-source AI models hosted in OVHcloud's European data centres. New customers can use the Public Cloud Free Trial, which OVHcloud advertises as US$200 of free credit when you launch your first Public Cloud project. The voucher is valid for one month, and a set of models is free with no time limit.
Free Tier Quotas & Limits
- Public Cloud Free Trial voucher: US$200, valid one month once activated, usable on standard Public Cloud rates. It requires a saved payment method and a first Public Cloud project; it excludes other free offers and beta services and is limited to one voucher per legal person.
- Permanently free models, listed as "Free" in the AI Endpoints catalogue:
- Stable Diffusion XL Base 1.0 (image generation)
- NVIDIA Riva TTS in en-US, de-DE, it-IT and es-ES (text-to-speech)
- Qwen3Guard-Gen-8B and Qwen3Guard-Gen-0.6B (content moderation, Beta)
- Rate limits are enforced per IP, per minute, per model in the anonymous playground and per project, per minute, per model with an API key.
- Paid models are billed per million tokens; for example gpt-oss-120b is listed at EUR 0.08 input / EUR 0.40 output, and whisper-large-v3 at EUR 0.00004083 per second.
