Free API tiers aren't charity. They're providers bidding for you. Every one of them wants developer lock-in. So they hand out free inference. Gemini, Groq, NVIDIA all do it. Permanent free tiers, not trials. The cost was never the real barrier. Finding them was. Forty providers, forty signup pages. So most people give up and pay. This repo lists over 130. One place, every free tier. One click into Claude Code. Same for Codex and Cursor. Your agents run on someone else's budget. Like forty stores handing out samples. Most people never walk in. The models are the same either way. Only the invoice changes. Go collect the free tiers. #github #gemini #groq #claudecode #cursor
