# Free AI Tools     > **Curated list of free LLM APIs, coding copilots, AI IDEs, agents, and infrastructure tools for building real AI applications.** ### What's Inside - ✅ Free GPT-6 / Claude 5.5 / Gemini 3.8API access - 🤖 Coding copilots and AI-native IDEs (Cursor, Trae, Windsurf) - 💰 Cheapest AI APIs ($0.08-0.50 per 1M tokens) - 📚 RAG stack tools (vector DBs, embeddings, frameworks) - 🎯 Agent frameworks and automation tools - 🔒 Local models for privacy (Ollama, Llama, Qwen) - 🏗️ Production-ready stack configurations - 🆕 Claude Sonnet 5.5, Claude Opus 5.5, Haiku 5.5 — GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-6 Luna — gemini 3.8 Flash, Gemini 4 Argon — GitHub Copilot AI Credits — Windsurf Max — Trae Ultra — **OpenCode 167k⭐** — **Xiaomi MiMo V2.5 Pro** **Goal:** Help developers build AI apps without paying $200/month. > [!NOTE] > Please don't abuse these services, else we might lose them for everyone. > The number becomes 550+ when you add all the models and sub services of all the tools provided. > When raising issues or pull requests please dont add your own paid, expensive personal projects. > [!WARNING] > **October 2026 Model Generation Leap:** Major providers have transitioned to next-generation architectures: OpenAI introduced the GPT-6 family (GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-6 Luna); Anthropic deployed the Claude 5.5 generation (Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.5, Claude Haiku 5.5); Google rolled out gemini 3.8 Flash / Flash-Lite as the default workhorse and previewed Gemini 4 Argon. The new baseline for high-throughput coding and daily development is Claude Sonnet 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol, and gemini 3.8 Flash, while complex multi-hour reasoning and autonomous sandboxing target GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5. > > **Pricing & Billing Updates:** Windsurf switched to a quota-based model (Pro $20, Teams $40, new Max $200) on Mar 18. Trae moved to a 5-tier token system (Lite $3, Pro $10, Pro+ $30, Ultra $100) on Feb 24. Qoder's launch promo ended — standard standalone pricing settled at Pro $30/mo (2,000 credits, or CNY 59/mo on Qoder CN All-in-One), Teams $40/seat (3,000 credits). Cursor split Teams into Teams Standard ($40/seat) & Teams Premium ($120/seat), credited $70 third-party usage on Pro+ ($60/mo), and shifted Bugbot to ~$1.00–$1.50/run. GitHub Copilot summer credit promotion ended Sep 1, 2026 (reverting to standard $19 / 1,900 credits for Business and $39 / 3,900 credits for Enterprise). Xiaomi MiMo V2.5 API permanent pricing schedule flattened to $1.00/1M input, $3.00/1M output, and $0.20/1M cached across all context lengths up to 1M tokens. --- ## 🎯 Why This Repo Exists Most AI tool lists are: - ❌ Outdated (prices/limits from 2023) - ❌ Filled with affiliate links and sponsored placements - ❌ General-purpose directories with no developer focus - ❌ Missing production-critical details (rate limits, commercial use, architecture patterns) **This repo focuses only on:** - ✅ Tools developers *actually* use in production - ✅ Generous free tiers (no "5 requests then paywall") - ✅ Production-capable models (SWE-bench verified, not toys) - ✅ Real infrastructure (APIs, hosting, vector DBs, not just chatbots) - ✅ Minimal fluff, maximum utility **Unlike:** `awesome-ai` (general list), `ai-collection` (marketing focus), `toolify` (affiliate-heavy) **This is for:** Builders who want to ship AI features this week. --- ## ⭐ Support This Project If this repo helped you build something or saved you money: **[⭐ Star this repo](https://github.com/ShaikhWarsi/free-ai-tools)** — it helps more builders discover free AI resources. **[🔄 Share with your team]** — spread the knowledge. **[📝 Contribute](CONTRIBUTING.md)** — fo
