FreeTheAi gives the community a simple API surface for using AI models without forcing every experiment through a credit-card gate.

FreeTheAi is a community AI API project built around a practical idea: one familiar OpenAI-compatible interface, many usable model routes, and setup docs that work with real clients.
It is made for:
| Use case | What FreeTheAi focuses on |
|---|---|
| Coding agents | OpenAI-compatible setup guides for editors, CLIs, and agent workflows |
| Roleplay clients | Roleplay-friendly docs, long-context guidance, and model notes |
| App builders | Chat completions, streaming, tool-call compatibility, and catalog metadata |
| Experimenters | A low-friction way to test model behavior without rebuilding every client |
| Repo | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Free-The-Ai/free-ai | Public website, docs, quickstarts, setup guides, examples, and model catalog resources |
| Free-The-Ai/free-code | Coding-agent resources for connecting FreeTheAi to developer tools and workflows |
If your client supports an OpenAI-compatible base URL, the setup is usually this simple:
Base URL: https://api.freetheai.xyz/v1
Auth: Bearer YOUR_FREETHEAI_KEY
curl https://api.freetheai.xyz/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_FREETHEAI_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "MODEL_ALIAS",
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Say hi from FreeTheAi."
}
],
"stream": true

We care about access that is actually useful:
- Keep the API familiar for OpenAI-compatible clients.
- Keep public model metadata readable and current.
- Keep setup docs practical, not theoretical.
- Keep roleplay, coding, and app-builder workflows documented separately.
- Keep public-facing output clean and free of internal provider details.
Build with it. Break your setup less. Share what works.
