About this directory

OpenRouter IDs and zero prompt/completion prices came from its public model API. NVIDIA and Ollama Cloud rows use provider model IDs and endpoints checked against their official pages, with free-tier listings cross-checked against freeLLM. Ollama's official Free plan includes starter usage for a smaller set of models, so eligibility for a particular model must be checked in the signed-in account. “Docs checked” means source review, not a successful model response. A missing end date is not a promise of permanent access.

Coverage in this first pass: 15 OpenRouter channels, 11 NVIDIA NIM channels, and 2 Ollama Cloud channels. The “No phone” condition is optional because NVIDIA's current provider snapshot marks phone verification as required. Turn it on when that requirement matters to you.

Start with Qwen3.8 27B, or filter Platform to NVIDIA NIM or Ollama Cloud to open the new guides.
