Platform

Free models. Your tools. One way in.

Arctic puts 50 free language models and 10 free image models from 24 makers behind one key and one API. It runs only on free tiers (Groq, Google AI Studio, Cloudflare Workers AI, OpenRouter (free models), Hugging Face (free credit), Pollinations), so nobody pays for anything.

Automatic routing

Send model: "auto" and Arctic picks a free model, skipping models that cannot handle tools or images in your request. When a free host is busy, the call moves to another host of the same model.
