Free AI access
Surprisingly, many people have still never talked to a neural network or run a single AI agent - it seems expensive, complex, or 'not for me'. In fact you can start for free right now, often without a bank card or a powerful computer. Below are proven ways to get access to AI: from free tiers to compute grants. Limits and terms change - we check them regularly.
How to use: pick a card, open the link and sign up - current limits are listed on each one.
Free tiers
Work instantly and for free, usually without a card: sign up and use. There are limits (requests per day, tokens per minute), but they're plenty to get started and for personal tasks.
Gemini 2.5/3 Flash, Gemma 3, multimodal
28-30 free models through one key
GPT-5, GPT-4.1, GPT-4o, o4-mini, Llama
Trial credits
A starting balance in dollars to try out (e.g. $5). Expires in a few days or weeks - handy to test a model for your task before paying.
Startup programs
Large compute grants and credits for companies: from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. How to get it: register a startup (legal entity, product, site) and apply; some programs require an accelerator or an investor.
For students
Free access and credits with student status. How to get it: confirm you're a student - a .edu email or verification via GitHub Education and university programs.
