500+ Hugging Face models through a single free API no credit card just an email signup 😳 launched on July 3 as a unified gateway for Hugging Face models one API key one endpoint 500+ models what you get for $0: • 500+ open-source models through an OpenAI-compatible API • no separate API keys for different providers • works with Cursor, Claude Code, Hermes, OpenCode, and anything that supports a custom base URL • email signup only setup takes about 2 minutes: 1. Go to 2. Sign up with your email 3. Generate an API key 4. Set your base URL to 5.
