This project is a community-driven repository that serves as a directory for artificial intelligence providers offering free usage tiers and trial credits for large language model inference. It functions as a resource for developers to discover and integrate external AI services into applications while minimizing initial infrastructure costs.
The repository provides structured metadata that enables developers to track request constraints, token limits, and rate requirements across multiple providers. By utilizing standardized data structures and declarative configuration, it assists in managing usage quotas and optimizing integration strategies to prevent unexpected overage charges.
The project relies on static flat-file storage and community-curated data to maintain information about service availability and provider requirements. This approach allows for the aggregation of service details without the need for a persistent backend database.
