The free tier is one million input tokens per month with no card required, rate limited to 60 requests per minute.

The API is OpenAI-compatible, so an existing client works by changing the base URL and key. Function calling and JSON mode are both on the free tier, which is unusual — most free tiers withhold structured output.

Context is 128k tokens. Vision input is billed separately and is not part of the free allowance.
