Auto Free

No deposit, balance or money hold. Always $0, and never a paid fallback, even after you add credits.

minirouter/auto:free$0 customer charge

Temporarily unavailable

Try again later. Without a free model, requests fail uncharged and never switch to a paid model.

What Auto Free selects

A model that fits your request. For text it tries Poolside, Ling VL, Ling Santé, Ling Fin, then Ling 3.1 Flash. Name a model to select it exactly.

  • inclusionai/ling-3.0-flash-fin-free
  • inclusionai/ling-3.1-flash-free

One allowance per account. Shared across keys and reset daily. Free requests accept text; Ling VL image input is not on the free tier yet.
