Most providers below expose an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Any tool that accepts a baseURL + apiKey works — just swap the two.

Python (OpenAI SDK)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.groq.com/openai/v1",  # free, no credit card
    api_key="GROQ_API_KEY",                      # get at console.groq.com/keys
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="openai/gpt-oss-120b",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
# Groq free tier: ~30 RPM, 1,000 requests/day per chat model — plenty for personal use

Coding assistants

Point your AI coding tool at a free backend instead of a paid one:

• Claude Code — speaks the Anthropic API, so use a provider with a native Anthropic endpoint (OpenRouter, Z.AI, FreeInference, Ollama) or a LiteLLM proxy. See code-examples/claude-code.md
• Cursor — Settings → Models → Add Model. See code-examples/cursor.md
• Codex CLI — set OPENAI_BASE_URL + OPENAI_API_KEY. See code-examples/codex.md
• OpenCode — open source AI coding agent, supports multiple providers via /connect or env vars. See code-examples/opencode.md

Every other provider has a ready-to-copy snippet in code-examples/ — see Code Examples below.
