Each of the three free models is also limited to 8,000 tokens a minute, and Groq applies whichever limit is reached first. Whisper is also limited to 20 requests a minute, 7,200 audio seconds an hour and 28,800 audio seconds (8 hours of audio) a day. On the free plan, gpt-oss-safeguard-20b is limited to 3 requests a minute, 1,000 requests a day, 2,000 tokens a minute and 200,000 tokens a day. Qwen3.8 27B, gpt-oss-safeguard-20b, Orpheus Arabic Saudi and Orpheus V1 English are Preview models. Groq says Preview models \"are intended for evaluation purposes only and should not be used in production environments as they may be discontinued at short notice\". Llama 3.3 70B and Llama 3.1 8B left the free and developer plans on 2026-08-16 and are Enterprise-only. Orpheus text-to-speech (English and Saudi Arabic) is also on the free plan, at 10 requests a minute, 100 requests and 3,600 tokens a day. Developer plan prices per 1M tokens: gpt-oss-120b $0.15/$0.60; gpt-oss-20b $0.075/$0.30; Qwen3.8 27B $0.80/$4.00. The Batch API costs 50% less and returns results within 24 hours to 7 days, without impacting standard rate limits. When requests to gpt-oss-20b, gpt-oss-120b or gpt-oss-safeguard-20b start with the same text as a recent request, Groq caches that part automatically and bills those input tokens 50% less. The batch discount does not stack with prompt caching discounts; all batch tokens are billed at the batch rate regardless of cache status. Orpheus text-to-speech costs $22 per 1M characters in English and $40 in Saudi Arabic. Groq's API is OpenAI-compatible at the base URL https://api.groq.com/openai/v1.

Gemini 4 Argon (gemini-4-argon), Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview and Gemini Omni Flash (gemini-omni-1.1-flash) are paid only. Gemini 4 Argon, generally available since 2026-10-13, is not available on the Gemini API free tier. According to ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/google-ai-plans, \"Gemini 4 Argon is not available on the Free plan.\" Gemini 4 Argon is available through the Gemini API on the paid tier. \"Direct use of the Gemini API (such as using API keys or external applications) is billed and managed separately,\" per ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/google-ai-plans. Google AI Pro and Ultra include Gemini 4 Argon in Google AI Studio and Antigravity (Pro: non-trial subscriptions only), per ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/google-ai-plans and antigravity.google/docs/models. No Gemini image model has a free tier in the API. Nano Banana 2.1 (gemini-nano-banana-2.1) became generally available on 2026-10-06. It costs $0.0336 per 1K image, $0.0504 per 2K image and $0.113 per 4K image. The Batch API halves those prices. Nano Banana Pro costs $0.134 per 1K or 2K image and $0.24 per 4K image. Google publishes no free-tier rate limits; each project's limits are shown in Google AI Studio. Developers report 429 errors showing 20 requests per day for Gemini 3.x Flash models and 500 requests per day for 3.x Flash-Lite models as of September 2026. Rate limits apply per project, not per API key. Daily request quotas reset at midnight Pacific time, per Google's rate-limits page. Since 2026-09-18 Google serves the Gemini 2.5 models only to users who have used them before, and points new projects to 3.5 Flash-Lite or 3.8 Flash. If your app calls gemini-3.7-flash, Google deprecated it on 2026-10-08. Requests to gemini-3.7-flash are routed automatically to gemini-3.8-flash. Google says to update the model string to gemini-3.8-flash. If your app calls Gemini 3.5 Flash (gemini-3.5-flash), Google deprecated it on 2026-10-08. Requests to gemini-3.5-flash are routed automatically to gemini-3.6-flash. Google says to update the model string to gemini-3.6-flash or gemini-3.8-flash. If your app calls gemini-omni-flash-preview, it can be called until 2026-10-22, when Google shuts it down. Google's replacement is gemini-omni-1.1-flash. Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite (gemini-3.1-flash-lite) can be called until 2027-05-07, when Google shuts it down. Google's replacement is gemini-3.5-flash-lite.

From December 1, 2026, Gemini 4 Argon costs $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens for Standard, $2 input and $10 output for Batch API, $2 input and $10 output for Flex, and $7.20 input and $36 output for Priority. The Batch API costs half the standard price; Gemini 3.8 Flash is $0.375 input and $1.875 output per million tokens through 2026-12-31. Gemini 4 Argon on the Batch API is $1 input and $5 output through 2026-11-30. Google also sells two tiers, Flex and Priority, both in Preview. A request picks one with the service_tier field (\"flex\" or \"priority\"); without it the request is Standard. Gemini 4 Argon on Flex is $1 input and $5 output through 2026-11-30; on Priority it is $3.60 input and $18 output through 2026-11-30. \"The Gemini Flex API is an inference tier that offers a 50% cost reduction compared to standard rates, in exchange for variable latency and best-effort availability\" (ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/flex-inference). \"Priority inference is priced at 75-100% more than the standard API and billed per token\" (ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/priority-inference). The Gemini API Contributor Tier is an invite-only private preview. Eligible users will be invited by email. It offers half the Standard price for Gemini 4 Argon, Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, Gemini 3.8 Flash, and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite. Google uses the data from those models to improve its products. \"Please don't submit sensitive or personal information\" (ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/logs-policy).

No credit card is required. On 2026-10-11, the nine setup quests paid 3 Pollen in total, worth about $3 because 1 Pollen is worth about $1. The documented API for text, image, audio and video requires a GitHub sign-in and an API key. Free use draws from Quest Pollen, with no promise of future grants. Paid-only models, such as Claude models, DeepSeek V4 Pro and Gemini 4 Argon, need purchased Pollen. To run Claude Code on free Quest Pollen, run \"polli harness claude-code on\", start Claude Code with \"claude --settings ~/.pollinations/claude-code.json\", and use a model that is not paid-only. Quest Pollen pays for any model that Pollinations' live catalog (enter.pollinations.ai/models) does not mark paid-only. On 2026-10-18, more than 30 text models were not paid-only, among them GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-6 Luna, GLM 5.3, Kimi K3, DeepSeek V4 Flash and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash. The command \"polli harness claude-code on\" connects Claude Code to Pollinations and uses openai/gpt-6-sol unless you specify another model. Pollinations' harness documentation says the command writes \"a Claude Code settings file\" and: \"Claude Code reads the file only when launched with --settings; plain claude keeps your native login and ~/.claude settings.\" (From https://github.com/pollinations/pollinations/blob/main/CODING_HARNESSES.md, read 2026-10-20.) GPT-6 Sol costs 2 Pollen per million input tokens and 10 Pollen per million output tokens. GPT-5 Nano costs 0.0375 and 0.30. GPT-OSS 20B costs 0.05 and 0.18. NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning costs 0.05 and 0.20. Adding --model <id> to \"polli harness claude-code on\" picks another model. Older keyless endpoints for image and text still answered on 2026-10-05, but the current docs do not cover them and state no terms for them. The documented API is OpenAI-compatible at the base URL https://gen.pollinations.ai/v1, with an API key from https://enter.pollinations.ai/keys. Pollinations' MCP documentation gives this Claude Code command: \"claude mcp add --transport http pollinations https://gen.pollinations.ai/mcp/pollinations --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY'\". Its tools include generateImage, generateText, generateVideo, generateAudio, listModels and getBalance. \"Calls use the same Pollen wallet as the Pollinations API.\" The \"polli harness claude-code on\" command runs Claude Code itself on a Pollinations model; the MCP server gives an agent Pollinations tools.
