Free LLM API launches on Product Hunt

Today we put Free LLM API on Product Hunt with a tagline we did not have to exaggerate: access one billion tokens per month for free.

The idea is simple and slightly cheeky. Nearly every major LLM provider has a free tier. Almost nobody uses all of them, because juggling fourteen dashboards, fourteen key formats and fourteen rate limits is miserable. Free LLM API aggregates those free tiers into one OpenAI compatible endpoint. You bring your own keys, sign up and generate, no credit card anywhere, and the router handles the rest: routing, rate limiting and automatic failover to the next provider the moment a quota runs dry.

It is open source, built for personal prototyping and experimentation, and it turns "which provider should I try" into a question you never have to ask again.

The launch went well for a nights and weekends project: 90 upvotes and a 22nd place finish for the day. The best conversation in the comments was someone asking whether you need paid subscriptions to make it work. You do not. Free tiers, a signup and a key are all it takes, which is rather the point.
