The Free Tier Is Closing for Most Users

FreeTheAI started with a simple idea: give people good AI models for free. Thanks to all of you, it grew far beyond anything we expected, and we have been able to serve a lot of you for a long time. That has meant a lot to us.

We would rather be upfront with you than let things quietly get worse. The free models run on limited shared capacity, and demand has grown well past what that capacity can handle. On the busiest models, most requests were being turned away as busy, and tighter limits were never a real fix. Keeping the free tier running for everyone has also become more than we can manage right now.

• Free access is closed for most accounts. Requests to FreeTheAI's own free models now answer that the free tier is closed.
• A small number of accounts keep free access for now. Their Free usage page says so.
• FreeTheAI's own free models are no longer listed on the models page.

• Your account, API keys, and wallet balance stay exactly as they are.
• Paid models work through the same API, the same base URL, and the same keys. Add funds on your wallet page and follow a provider of the model you want.
• Our Discord stays open, and support works the same way.

Possibly. This is how things stand until we can work something out. If we find a way to run a free tier that works well and is fair to everyone, we will bring it back, and you will hear it on our Discord and here first.

We are sorry for the disappointment this brings, and we know a lot of you relied on it. Thank you for every chat, every bug report, and every bit of feedback along the way. It has been a great journey, and we are grateful you were part of it.
