NVIDIA API Offers Free Access to DeepSeek and Other Major LLMs: Quick Setup Guide
dr_cintas · x · 2026-08-09
Developers can now access major AI models like DeepSeek, MiniMax, GLM, and Gemma for free through NVIDIA's API. The endpoint is OpenAI-compatible, making it ideal for prototyping and testing model capabilities before committing financially.
Quick Setup Guide:
- Visit the NVIDIA platform and select a model.
- Grab your free API key.
- Drop it into your OpenAI-compatible SDK.
The catch is that the free tier is slower with occasional queues, so it shouldn't be pointed directly at production workloads.
