As recorded at collection: 5,300 free credits per LobsterAI account

LobsterAI, released by NetEase's Youdao (NetEase Youdao), is an open-source AI agent and AI chat service. It provides access to 19 models, including DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, GLM, MiniMax, and Doubao (豆包), and all models support 128K of conversational context.

When you first sign up, you automatically receive 300 credits once. If you log in between August 6 and August 20, you get an additional 5,000 event credits without entering a referrer, for a total of 5,300 credits per account. LobsterAI provides only a dedicated app, with no official API. The publisher says they have made lobsterai2api, a free publicly available program that converts these credits into an API in OpenAI format and connects it to general AI chat programs such as ChatBox, LobeChat, and NextChat, available on GitHub. Registering multiple accounts in lobsterai2api automatically switches between accounts with remaining credits, and a single command lets you check the remaining credits for each account.

Login event credits can be received only once per person, and the quantity is limited. The 300 signup credits can be used only until August 20, and the 5,000 event credits only until September 5. lobsterai2api must be downloaded and run on your own computer. If you only want to use the credits, you can use the LobsterAI app as is.
