Free LLM API with 1M tokens every month

Every Gonka Broker account includes a monthly free tier: at least 1M tokens of any model in the catalog. No credit card, no expiring trial credit. Sign up, create a key, and call open-source models.

How the free tier works

Resets every month

The free tier is granted again on the 1st of every calendar month. It's not a one-time trial credit that runs out for good: unused tokens expire, fresh ones arrive.

No credit card

Free is spent first

If you do top up, your free tokens are always consumed before your paid balance; your money stays untouched while free tokens remain.

What the free tier gets you

The tier is sized as 1M tokens of the most expensive model we serve, so 1M is the floor, and cheaper models yield more.

Model	Free tokens / month	After free / 1M
MiniMax M2	~1.1M	$0.30
Kimi K2	~1M	$0.35
BGE-M3	~35M	$0.01

Approximate counts at current snapshot prices; the exact grant is computed at issue time and shown per model in your dashboard. Current rates are always at Gonka API pricing and via GET /v1/models.

Start in two minutes

It's a free API: sign up, create a gnk-prx- key, and point any OpenAI SDK at https://proxy.gonkabroker.com/v1. No card at any step.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://proxy.gonkabroker.com/v1",
    api_key="gnk-prx-YOUR_KEY_HERE",
)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)

print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://proxy.gonkabroker.com/v1",
  apiKey: "gnk-prx-YOUR_KEY_HERE",
});

const resp = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }],
});

console.log(resp.choices[0].message.content);

curl https://proxy.gonkabroker.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer gnk-prx-YOUR_KEY_HERE" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7",
       "messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello!"}]}'

A free LLM API you can build on

What makes this the best free LLM API setup for an actual project rather than a demo.

Monthly, not one-time

Most “free” offers are a single trial credit that expires once. This tier comes back every month: you can keep a side project or a personal tool on it indefinitely.

The same API as paid

No sandbox, no separate endpoint. The free tier runs on the same API, the same models, and the same key. Going paid is a top-up, not a migration.

Honest limits

Free-tier requests are rate-limited for fair use: fine for chat, development, and personal tools. Top up and requests run at full speed; your free tokens are still spent first.

Free tier FAQ

Is the Gonka Broker LLM API really free?

Yes. Every account gets the monthly free tier: at least 1M tokens of any model in the catalog, renewed on the 1st of each calendar month, no credit card. It's not a one-time trial credit. Beyond the free tier, usage is prepaid per token in USD.

How do I get a free LLM API key?

Sign up with email or Google (no card required), create an API key in the dashboard, and point any OpenAI SDK or tool at https://proxy.gonkabroker.com/v1. It takes about two minutes.

Is there a free Anthropic-compatible API?

Yes. The free tier works over our Anthropic-compatible endpoint too: point the Anthropic SDK at https://proxy.gonkabroker.com with the same free key. You get open-source models served over the Anthropic protocol, not Claude itself.

Can I use the free tier with Claude Code?

Yes. Set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to https://proxy.gonkabroker.com and ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN to your key, and your Claude Code agent runs on open-source models. Free tokens are spent first, every month.

What happens when my free tokens run out?

Requests return a clear error with a link to top up, and the free tier resets on the 1st of the next month. If you have a paid balance, it takes over automatically once the free tokens are used.
