you can also use 1000+ models with Claude Code using @explabsai CC + DeepSeek v4.1 Flash uncensored works like magic for red teaming we have a setup prompt during our onboarding or platform.xplabs.ai/docs/codi…
Alguien creó un repo en GitHub que te permite ejecutar Claude Code completamente gratis. Redirige tu tráfico de Claude Code a 10 proveedores gratuitos como DeepSeek y Kimi, toma 5 minutos configurarlo, y ya tiene a más de 20,000 desarrolladores ejecutándolo.

63b free tokens given away over the last 2 days! ending the promotion shortly, thank you to all who participated 🫶 both models will remain in the catalog as paid models
3.3b tokens served so far added GPUs so we're not bumping into any limits tok / sec - 116.2 tok / min - 70.3 million time to first tok - 0.71s

my goal is to provide the best service we can (within reason) at @explabsai what can we do to make it better? some things top of mind - improved UI @MomenBuilds - more clarity when we serve ads on free models @chaotictransfem - better displays of rate limits what else?

got some beefier GPUs so here's free DeepSeek 4.1 Flash uncensored ~41m tpm shared ~403 tps peak use it for cybersec, coding, whatever at platform.xplabs.ai
Out of GPUs. anyone know where I can get a B300 node at a reasonable price? can do 3 year commit asap i want to keep offering free AI
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The free models promoted in this post, such as DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, come from Experiential Labs which discloses inserting contextual sponsored content into responses to fund free or discounted access.

Excited to partner with Hubzz to give their NPCs intelligence. If you're a company that - is funded - or has > $10k in monthly AI spend apply for up to $10k in AI credits ➡️ xplabs.ai/startups.
Thanks for giving our NPCs braaains 🧠 @explabsai w/ 1000+ models through one gateway! #tyfb

Why not make it free too? platform.xplabs.ai
Muse Spark is now fully open source ‼️ - 816B params 42B active - 1M context - Image and video support seems to be not just the best US model but possibly the best open weights model period open American AI is back

We're making GPT 6 Luna Decisions free decision models are the new frontier 10x faster with same accuracy platform.xplabs.ai
Let your app choose the right model, tool, or action in near real-time with Decisions API, now available to all developers in public beta. The Decisions API makes decisions up to 10x faster than GPT-6 Luna through the Responses API.

talked a little more about @explabsai and the future we're trying to build shared a couple hot takes along the way
Every AI model. One key. Zero markup. That’s the starting point. The bigger ambition: help companies turn their AI traffic into better models they own @silennai helped grow AutoGPT to 160,000 GitHub stars. Now, at @explabsai, he and cofounder @OKfallah are working to bring model access, evaluation and training into one unified experience. The open-source gateway gives companies control over model access. From there, the team is building simulations around their traffic to understand different workloads and recommend models based on three things: cost, quality and speed. The goal goes beyond choosing a model. It’s helping companies evaluate performance and train specialized models around their own work when they need them. Silen expects agents to do most of the work. So the product has to serve both: humans who need to understand what’s happening and agents that need to use it. Start with access. Build toward ownership. "The open source AI gateway.

The best reason to train your own model may not be cost. It may be failure. As AI gets cheaper, saving on tokens matters less. But if a general model keeps failing on a critical internal workflow, tool call, or proprietary language? That’s where fine-tuning starts to matter. Cheap intelligence is everywhere. Reliable intelligence for your exact job is harder. @silennai, CTO & Cofounder, @explabsai on @Fondocom @thestartpod Learn more: fondo.ai/4xN6tB6

The pelican test, but it's a race. Same model: MiMo-V2.6-Pro, the top open model on Artificial Analysis. Wally vs Xiaomi's own API. Wally finished 3.6x faster, and drew all four pelicans before Xiaomi's API finished its first. And it's completely free to use through tomorrow, on Wally via @explabsai.
free Mimo 2.6 Pro at 320 tokens/sec currently the best open weights model on the market cheaper and 50% better than GPT Luna only possible in partnership with @RunAnywhereAI platform.xplabs.ai

MiMo-V2.6-Pro debuts as the top open weights model on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (46). At $0.13 per Intelligence Index task, it lands on the Intelligence vs. Cost per Task Pareto frontier @Xiaomi has just released MiMo-V2.6-Pro, an open weights model with major advances in intelligence over its predecessor, MiMo-V2.5-Pro (Intelligence Index: 26). Despite the improvement, it retains the same attractive pricing at $0.435 per 1M input tokens (with a 99% cache-hit discount) and $0.87 per 1M output tokens. This makes MiMo-V2.6-Pro one of the most cost-efficient models to deploy. MiMo-V2.6-Pro is an MoE model with 1.02T total parameters and 42B active parameters. Stay tuned for additional analysis of the model. Check out MiMo-V2.6-Pro full benchmarking breakdown here: artificialanalysis.ai
