Open-Source LLM APIs

These providers host open-weight models, so you can call them without running GPUs yourself, and most expose an OpenAI-compatible API. Groq has a freemium plan and also serves Whisper for speech, Cerebras runs models such as GPT-OSS 120B on wafer-scale chips, and Fireworks AI adds Anthropic-compatible endpoints. Together AI is pay-per-token with chat, image and embedding models. Free LLM APIs →
