Kind: Free models · Provider type: Router

Card needed: no (stated by the provider)

Limits: Free models: 200 requests per hour per IP address; going over returns HTTP 429.

Your data: Kilo's models API marks every free model as one that may train on your prompts: the upstream providers can log prompts and use them to improve their services (Auto Free may route to such providers).
