freellmapi-setup-cli: Interactive CLI validates LLM keys and builds budget-balanced model chains
biryaniwithachaar · reddit · 2026-11-12
A Reddit developer released freellmapi-setup-cli, a single-file cross-platform CLI (no extra npm deps) for onboarding FreeLLMAPI setups.
- Interactive key onboarding: shows each provider's quota, context window and quirks, opens the key portal, validates keys live, and encrypts them into freeapi.db.
- Live catalog scraping: pulls providers/models from freellmapi.co, groups them by provider, and filters by Keyless, High-Quota, 128K+ context, Frontier/1M+, and strict-cap wallets.
- Budget-balanced chains: auto-builds frontier-heavy, balanced-daily, and fast-pool chains, filtering out guard/TTS/embedding/<7B models and spreading fallbacks across providers to avoid burning a single quota.
- Auto-checks for missing chains/models at startup; works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Run with node freellmapi-setup-cli.mjs; source on GitHub.
