Available Models

FreeInference exposes an OpenAI-compatible model catalog for coding agents and IDEs. The catalog changes as providers and local deployments change, so the authenticated API is the source of truth for your account:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FREEINFERENCE_API_KEY" \
  https://freeinference.org/v1/models

The response is filtered by access level. A model that is not returned for your key is not available to that account.

Model Overview

Model ID	Access	Context	Max Output	Input	Highlights
glm-5.1	Free	200K	128K	Text	Tools, structured output, thinking, tool streaming
minimax-m2.5	Free	205K	131K	Text	Tools, structured output, thinking
minimax-m3	Free	1M	131K	Text, image, video	Long context, tools, structured output, thinking
qwen3.6-35b	Free	262K	8K	Text, image, video	Fast non-thinking model, tools, structured output
diffusiongemma	Free	262K	8K	Text	Fast local model, tools, structured output, thinking
deepseek-v4-flash	Free	1M	393K	Text	Agentic coding, tools, structured output, reasoning controls
glm-5.2	Pro	1M	131K	Text	Tools, structured output, thinking, tool streaming
kimi-k2.7-code	Pro	262K	131K	Text, image, video	Coding agents, tools, structured output, thinking

All listed models produce text. Context and output limits are deployment limits; an upstream provider may enforce a smaller limit for an individual request.

Embedding Model

Model ID	Access	Context	Input	Output
bge-m3	Free	8K	Text	Embedding vector

Use bge-m3 with the OpenAI-compatible /v1/embeddings endpoint for codebase indexing. It is not a chat or completion model.

Choosing a Model

• Start with glm-5.1 for general coding and bilingual work.

• Use qwen3.6-35b for quick edits and background-agent calls that do not need extended reasoning.

• Use minimax-m3 for long-context or multimodal work.

• Use deepseek-v4-flash for complex agentic coding and long reasoning chains.

• Pro users can choose glm-5.2 for its larger context or kimi-k2.7-code for coding-agent workflows.

Access and Retired IDs

Free accounts can use models marked Free. Models marked Pro require a Pro-enabled key. Operational models restricted to administrators or staff are intentionally omitted from the public recommendation list.

Old IDs such as glm-4.7 and minimax-m2.7 are no longer in the production catalog. If a saved IDE configuration uses a retired ID, select one returned by GET /v1/models; otherwise the gateway returns 404 Model not found.

Switching Models

Use the exact model ID from GET /v1/models in your client’s model selector or configuration. In Claude Code, use /model; for provider-specific setup, see the IDE and coding-agent integrations.
