Dahl Inference is a high-performance platform offering decentralized access to open models like DeepSeek and MiniMax. It features an OpenAI-compatible API and a generous signup promotion of 100 million free tokens.

Value based on 100M free tokens at an estimated rate of $0.03/1M.

SambaNova Cloud serves open-weight models (DeepSeek-V3.1, DeepSeek-V3.2, Meta-Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct, gpt-oss-120b, gemma-4-31B-it, MiniMax-M2.7 and MiniMax-M3) through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint at api.sambanova.ai/v1, priced per 1M tokens from $0.22 input / $0.59 output for gpt-oss-120b up to $3 / $4.50 for DeepSeek-V3.1 and V3.2. The free tier is defined by the absence of a payment method: 20 requests per minute, 20 requests per day and 200,000 tokens per day per model, on the five models listed in the free-tier tables. Linking a card moves the account to the Developer tier, which raises per-model limits and caps the account at 20M tokens per day across all models.

Free tier is a recurring daily allowance, not a USD credit: 200,000 tokens/day (20 RPM, 20 RPD) per the official rate-limits docs; 200k tokens at the cheapest published input rate of $0.22/1M (gpt-oss-120b) is about $0.04/day, while the same 200k at DeepSeek-V3.1's $3/1M input rate would be about $0.60/day.

Models without fixed token rates are billed on execution time, and custom LLM deployments are billed per minute of GPU uptime across A100 ($0.89/GPU-hour) through B300 ($4.89/GPU-hour). There is no free credit: the pricing page states you must add a card or pre-pay before you can use the service.

Qwen Cloud / Alibaba Cloud Model Studio is the API and model-marketplace side of Qwen, reachable internationally at qwencloud.com and in mainland China through Bailian at bailian.console.aliyun.com. The international marketplace page states that new users get 70M+ free tokens and advertises full-modality access from $6/month. Chinese-language Model Studio documentation states that activating Bailian for the first time automatically issues a newcomer free quota per model, usually 1,000,000 tokens, valid for 90 days and available only in the Beijing (cn-beijing) region.

Free grants are token allowances, not currency: 70M+ tokens for new users on the international Qwen Cloud marketplace, and typically 1,000,000 tokens per model (90 days, cn-beijing only) on Chinese Model Studio.

Qwen Studio is the consumer web app and desktop/mobile client for the Qwen model family, served at qwen.ai and app.chat.qwen.ai.
