Get 7.4 Billion Free Tokens for Claude Code (Full Setup) — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00So guys, today we're going to see how
2. 0:02to get 7.4 billion AI tokens per month
3. 0:05for free. In this, we will connect a
4. 0:08total of 34 free providers. 635 free
5. 0:11model endpoints and 474 model families.
6. 0:16This will also include chat, embedding,
7. 0:18and video models. So in this video, we
8. 0:20will look at how we can configure this.
9. 0:22We will use smart fallback routing for
10. 0:25all models, meaning we will switch
11. 0:27models automatically. We will handle
12. 0:30rate limiting automatically, and most
13. 0:32importantly, we can connect it to any
14. 0:34coding agent like Claude Code. So in
15. 0:37this video, we will integrate it with
16. 0:38Claude Code and see how it works. So
17. 0:40without wasting any time, let's start
18. 0:42the video. So for that, you need to go
19. 0:44to your favorite browser and search for
20. 0:47free-llm-api.com, okay. So in this, we
21. 0:50can see that the providers have
22. 0:52increased; it now has 969 models and 62
23. 0:54providers, which have updated to be
24. 0:57much higher. They were fewer before,
25. 1:00and we will get 7.4 billion free tokens
26. 1:02per month in this. And frontier models
27. 1:05that we will get for free. Out of which
28. 1:08, these frontier models are right in
29. 1:09front of you. In this, Gemini 1.5 Flash
30. 1:13, GLM 4, Qwen 2.5, DeepSeek V3, and
31. 1:17Minimax are all models you can see here
32. 1:21. Quite excellent frontier models are
33. 1:23available for you to use for free in
34. 1:25this. Of course, there is a limit, but
35. 1:28the smart fallback routing will ensure
36. 1:31we don't feel that limit at all. From
37. 1:34here, we need to click on the GitHub
38. 1:36option. As soon as you click on the Git
39. 1:38option, a Git repository will open in
40. 1:40front of you. And here you can see that
41. 1:43it already has 36,000 stars. And this
42. 1:47is an open-source project that provides
43. 1:49us with a service where we can connect
44. 1:52all endpoints together and use free
45. 1:55LLMs. Here we can see the supported
46. 1:57providers. Like Google, Groq,
47. 2:00OpenRouter—many excellent providers
48. 2:02are available to see in this. So, to
49. 2:05set this up, we need to click on Quick
50. 2:07Start here. This is the URL you get.
51. 2:11For this, you will require Docker. If
52. 2:13Docker is installed on your system, you
53. 2:15can install it directly with this
54. 2:17command. But I will tell you the
55. 2:19simplest way to use it. If you are on
56. 2:22Windows, you can click here to download
57. 2:25the exe file. But I am currently using
58. 2:27a Mac. So I will click here for Mac OS.
59. 2:32And as soon as you scroll, after
60. 2:34scrolling, you will see the DMG file
61. 2:37here. If you are also using a Mac, you
62. 2:39can download this DMG file. Otherwise,
63. 2:42you can also see EXE files here. If you
64. 2:45are a Windows user, download the EXE
65. 2:47file. It's a very simple process. You
66. 2:49can install it easily. So if you are
67. 2:51using an M-series, meaning an M-series
68. 2:53MacBook. Then you can use the ARM 64
69. 2:56version. So I am currently using an M5.
70. 2:59So for the M5, I will download the ARM
71. 3:0164. So I'll wait for it to finish
72. 3:03downloading. After downloading, you
73. 3:07need to open it and drag it into the
74. 3:09Applications folder. And as soon as you
75. 3:12hear this sound, your software will be
76. 3:14successfully installed on your system.
77. 3:16Now I will open the Free LLM API here.
78. 3:25There are three steps to get started
79. 3:25with this. Add provider keys, send a
80. 3:28test request, and connect your app. So
81. 3:30in this, what we need to do is add API
82. 3:32keys from multiple providers. We get a
83. 3:35playground option in this. From where
84. 3:37we will test the request to see if it
85. 3:39is working or not. Then we can directly
86. 3:41connect any app, like any of our coding
87. 3:44agents, with it. In today's video, I
88. 3:46will show you how to connect and use it
89. 3:48with Cloud Code. So here you can see
90. 3:51that in models, we will get chat,
91. 3:53embedding, image, video, audio, search,
92. 3:55and fused models. And here we get the
93. 3:57playground option, which is currently
94. 3:59empty. We will add to it. So here we
95. 4:02can chat using the keys that we are
96. 4:04going to create. In this, we get to see
97. 4:07agents that we might want to use it
98. 4:10with. Like, we will use it with Cloud
99. 4:12Code. In this, we can connect and use
100. 4:15it with Codeium, Cline, Continue,
101. 4:17OpenCode, and multiple other agents. We
102. 4:20can also use it with Cursor. In
103. 4:22analytics, we get an entire tab for
104. 4:25this. Where we will get analytics for
105. 4:27usage, requests, input-output tokens,
106. 4:30how much we are using, and how much is
107. 4:32being spent, all of that we will see
108. 4:34here. Alright? And in the premium
109. 4:36section, we will get the options to buy
110. 4:38their plans and such. All right? So now
111. 4:40let's go to models and I'll click on
112. 4:42add key. I'm clicking on add key.
113. 4:45Select provider, here you can select
114. 4:47any provider you want. I will select
115. 4:49Google AI Studio first here. And here I
116. 4:52search for Google AI Studio. I will
117. 4:56open Google AI Studio here. From here,
118. 4:59I click on API key. Get API key,
119. 5:02continue, create API key. From here, I
120. 5:07click on create key. The key has been
121. 5:08created successfully. I copy the key
122. 5:10from here and go back into it. I paste
123. 5:13the key here. The label is optional.
124. 5:17You can provide it here if you want.
125. 5:18Otherwise, you don't have to. I will
126. 5:20write Google here. I click on add key.
127. 5:24Here you can see that 15 models are
128. 5:27selected for us. We will get this many
129. 5:30models inside this. Like 3.5 Flash, 3.6
130. 5:33, 3.7, 3, and even 3.8 will be
131. 5:35available in this. So after this, we
132. 5:38have to click on save. After clicking
133. 5:41on save here, we have to click on check
134. 5:43now here. After clicking on check now,
135. 5:45it has become healthy here. Earlier,
136. 5:47there was an issue here. All right? We
137. 5:48have successfully added the first one.
138. 5:51Now, I can go to the playground, sorry,
139. 5:54to the models, and show you that we
140. 5:56have received 96 million tokens for now
141. 5:59. 96 million tokens, and we can use
142. 6:04these. Now I click on open playground
143. 6:07and give it a prompt by clicking here.
144. 6:10It is selected to auto. This will
145. 6:12automatically generate a response for
146. 6:14us on auto. It can choose any model. It
147. 6:16has used 3.5 Flash. And it has
148. 6:19generated a response for us in this
149. 6:22many milliseconds. Now I go back into
150. 6:25models. I go into keys. And I click on
151. 6:28add key again here to select the
152. 6:29provider. There are multiple providers
153. 6:32here. You must be able to see them here
154. 6:33. Select any provider you want and keep
155. 6:35adding them into it. All right? I am
156. 6:37adding Open Router to it now. So now I
157. 6:40will create an API key for Open Router.
158. 6:44I come to the Open Router website. And
159. 6:46obviously, I will have to sign up here.
160. 6:49Okay. So, I have successfully created
161. 6:51the account. And I click on API keys.
162. 6:54Okay. So, here I click on the new
163. 6:55button. I define a name for it. And the
164. 6:58expiration will be one hour
165. 7:01automatically. And No limit, and I
166. 7:06click on create. Our key has been
167. 7:09created here. I copy it from here. And
168. 7:12I paste this key here. And here I write
169. 7:19OpenRouter. And you can see guys, we
170. 7:22have received so many models in this.
171. 7:25So, I will save it from here. After
172. 7:27saving, I will check it again from here
173. 7:29. And its status has become healthy
174. 7:32again. In this same way, you can select
175. 7:34multiple models inside it. And here,
176. 7:36you have obtained 102 million tokens.
177. 7:39So, in this way, you connect multiple
178. 7:42models. Like, you can connect your
179. 7:43providers from here. Add all the models
180. 7:46from all the multiple providers you see
181. 7:48here. Like, there is Grok. There are
182. 7:50quite a few in this. You should try
183. 7:52them all once. Add as many as you can
184. 7:54inside this. I am not connecting all
185. 7:56the providers. But to show you how to
186. 7:59use it, I have connected two providers
187. 8:01to try it out. And we need to use this
188. 8:04in Continue Code. Click on Agents. Here
189. 8:08we will find the Continue Code option.
190. 8:10We are seeing an automatic setup inside
191. 8:13this. This one. Okay? So, I copy this.
192. 8:16Uh. I will paste this command inside
193. 8:18the terminal. And I press enter. I
194. 8:20press Y here. I press enter. So, it is
195. 8:23asking for the unified API key. So, we
196. 8:26need to click on show API key and copy
197. 8:30the unified API key. And I paste it
198. 8:34here and hit enter. Continue settings
199. 8:38dot json, I press enter. And you can
200. 8:41see here that my API key, base URL, and
201. 8:44everything has been selected
202. 8:45automatically. So, before this, you
203. 8:48must have Continue Code installed on
204. 8:51your system. Only then will it work.
205. 8:53Okay? So now, I will open Anti-Gravity.
206. 8:57I will close this for a moment. And so,
207. 8:59I open the terminal here. And I will
208. 9:02write Claude. After writing Claude, yes
209. 9:05I trust this folder. And here you can
210. 9:07see that the API is on auto-use billing
211. 9:10. I will click on slash status here. So
212. 9:14here you can see all the information is
213. 9:17visible to you. Okay? So by clicking on
214. 9:20its button, I will send a 'Hi' message
215. 9:22to it here. So let's see what kind of
216. 9:24response we get. Since you have given
217. 9:26the prompt for the first time, it might
218. 9:28take a little longer. And also, after
219. 9:31clicking on Playground, as soon as you
220. 9:33give it a prompt, I'll type 'Hi, how
221. 9:35are you' again. As soon as you provide
222. 9:39the prompt, you will be able to see all
223. 9:42its requests in the Analytics section.
224. 9:45I have made 11 requests so far. And
225. 9:47these are the input tokens. And look,
226. 9:50we can check the usage and everything
227. 9:53here. And in the Playground, you get to
228. 9:56see many other settings as well. So
229. 9:59okay. So here we got the response after
230. 10:02a minute because it took quite some
231. 10:04time. If you use it for the first time,
232. 10:06it might take some time. So let's ask
233. 10:10this question, "Which model are you
234. 10:12using?" It says auto-select; the model
235. 10:16here is on auto-select, and as you can
236. 10:19see, I would recommend you to use auto.
237. 10:24You have Haiku, Auto, and if you need
238. 10:27to do high-level thinking work, you can
239. 10:31use Opus. You can use Sonnet when you
240. 10:34need to do normal tasks. And if you
241. 10:36have very easy, simple tasks to be done
242. 10:39, you can use Haiku. So basically, you
243. 10:42can use it this way. It was a very
244. 10:45simple process. And obviously, you will
245. 10:48get limits within this. And the more
246. 10:51providers you use, the more you can add
247. 10:53multiple providers to this, which will
248. 10:55give you access to multiple models. So
249. 10:57as soon as we come to the website, we
250. 11:00come to keys here. So here we get to
251. 11:04see "Add Key" for providers. So there
252. 11:07are many providers in this. So you can
253. 11:10use any of them. Add it. In the
254. 11:12Playground, you have it selected on
255. 11:14auto. Here, you can also use your
256. 11:15models according to your preferences.
257. 11:17Whichever model you want to choose, you
258. 11:19can select it and use it. You will also
259. 11:22find many other settings and things
260. 11:24here. So, this is what you will get to
261. 11:27see inside. And if you are new to the
262. 11:29channel, make sure to subscribe. And do
263. 11:31check out the channel once. I have made
