Details
Featherless.ai gives new signups 100,000 free credits. Signing in with a Google account is the entire signup process, and no card or phone number is required. The author says they tried it and received an API key in 30 seconds. Loading the model list shows 22,267 models, with GLM-5.2, Qwen3-9B, DeepSeek-V4-Flash, MiniMax-M3, Ornith-1.0-9B, VibeThinker-3B, Qwen3.6-27B-A3B, and DeepSeek-V4-Pro near the top.
After signing up, obtain a key from the 'API keys' section in the left menu. Authentication uses the Anthropic method (ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN), but the models actually running are Featherless's own models. Enter the issued key and send requests to /v1/messages to use it immediately. For Claude Code, change the connection address to https://api.featherless.ai/v1, enter the key, and replace the model name with the Featherless model name.
The author writes that GLM-5.2 and DeepSeek-V4-Flash were usable and their response speeds were similar to calling Zhipu or DeepSeek directly from China. Qwen3-9B was sometimes slow, which the author thought might be due to the queue for free users. Although 100,000 credits may sound like a lot, they diminish quickly with use, and the trial ends on July 4, so the author recommends trying it intensively within 3 days.
