Google login.
No credit card.

Just three steps. I tried it — got the key in 30 seconds.
22,267 models
Yes, over twenty-two thousand.
Clicked “Get model list,” a green box appeared.
I counted — the models on the page include:
GLM-5.2 Qwen3-9B DeepSeek-V4-Flash MiniMax-M3 Ornith-1.0-9B VibeThinker-3B Qwen3.6-27B-A3B DeepSeek-V4-Pro
These are the top ones. There are over twenty thousand more — flip through them yourself.
Authentication
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN.
Uses Anthropic’s format, but it actually runs on Featherless’s own model pool.
Drop the token in, call /v1/messages. Done.
Claude Code users:
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.featherless.ai/v1
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_keyJust change the base URL. Pick the model ID from Featherless’s list.
API keys are managed in the left sidebar.
Caveats
100K tokens sounds like a lot.
It goes fast.
I tested GLM-5.2 and DeepSeek-V4-Flash — solid. Response speed is on par with calling Zhipu or DeepSeek directly from China.
Qwen3-9B was slow on some calls. Probably queuing on the free tier.
Trial expires July 4. A few days left.
What happens after — no idea. Page doesn’t say. Could shut off, could keep a reduced free tier. We’ll find out on the 4th.
So. Hurry up.
