What “free” means here From the provider's documentation

  • Free accounts get $0.10 in Inference Providers credits per month (subject to change); PRO accounts get $2.00.
  • After credits run out, you can keep going by buying credits. Hugging Face passes provider prices through without markup.
  • Credits only apply to requests routed by Hugging Face, not to your own provider keys.

Checked Sep 29, 2026. Limits and terms change; the provider's page always wins.

Use it with cheapoS

  1. Create a key on Hugging Face Inference Providers's own site. Never paste it into cheapos.lol, a public chat or a repository.
  2. Add it to your local gateway. In cheapoS, open Models → Open OmniRoute, add the provider and key, then refresh models. Connection guide ↗
  3. Start small. Pick a tool-capable model and a task you can check before relying on the quota.
