ModelScope

Truly Free

Alibaba's open model-hub inference platform (distinct from Qwen/DashScope) — offers 2,000 free API requests per day (500/day per model), with early access to the newest Qwen releases. No credit card, but requires an Alibaba Cloud account with real-name/phone verification, which in practice is real friction for international users.

Limitations & Considerations

Requires real-name/phone verification (China phone in practice) — real friction for international users

Distinct product from this site's existing Qwen (Alibaba)/DashScope entry — don't confuse the two endpoints

500 requests/day per model, 2,000/day total is a hard cap
