Uh hello guys, in this uh video I will
0:04
actually show you how to get uh free API
0:07
keys
0:08
of AI models if you want to try AI
0:11
models directly in a single platform. So
0:15
basically what I did I go to chat GPT
0:17
and simply ask the question give me all
0:19
the websites which allow you to actually
0:22
call APIs directly. So this gives me
0:26
this response here. The very first
0:27
website in this platform comes is open
0:30
router.
0:32
So all the websites that I mentioned is
0:35
I've given the links you can definitely
0:37
check the links. So this is my personal
0:39
favorite website open router. So this
0:42
gives you permanent access to all the
0:46
famous APIs.
0:49
So it has a very good free plan. So if
0:52
you want to create a brand new account
0:54
then it directly gives you a lot more
0:58
credits
0:59
you can freely try out all the APIs open
1:02
router simply sign up you can sign up
1:05
using your GitHub account or Google
1:07
account. So both the options are there.
1:10
So once you create a new account it
1:12
directly gives you an API key. You can
1:15
directly sign up using your Google
1:17
account.
1:22
So once you sign up uh you just agree
1:26
with the terms and conditions
1:30
and just continue.
1:35
So you are all set. Get started by
1:37
buying credits and creating an API key.
1:39
So you have this option uh for creating
1:42
your API key. So right here you click
1:44
this option. So
1:49
you click create and just give it a name
1:52
and
1:55
click on create and this will give you
1:56
the your API key. You can call any kind
2:00
of. So if you go to the model section it
2:04
has actually all the models which are
2:06
directly there as you see all the models
2:09
it has there.
2:13
So it also have the chatting
2:15
functionality as well. You can chat with
2:17
a certain model as well. So right here
2:20
you simply add a model. Just select any
2:23
kind of model.
2:25
So some are free, some are not. So let's
2:27
suppose I want to try out this Gemma
2:29
model by Google. I select this and I
2:32
send out a message. as I send out the
2:35
message.
2:38
So I think you whenever you create it,
2:40
you need to go to credits and right here
2:43
you need to add some credits before you
2:45
need to. So by default whenever you
2:49
create account you need to add some
2:50
credits to it so that you can actually
2:54
you can add a payment method as well.
2:56
Simply
2:58
add a payment method and directly
3:03
select the country here.
3:09
This is actually the first website.
3:13
The second website is this website
3:16
together AAI. Together AI also provides
3:19
you with uh API key. You simply sign up
3:30
So let me just show you. So together
3:39
I think together.ai.
3:43
Yeah. So this is the actual website
3:45
together.
3:51
Here again you can actually continue
3:53
with your Google account.
3:57
So once you sign up it gives you free
3:59
credits, free API keys.
4:06
So once you sign up uh again you can
4:09
actually pay add a payment method,
4:12
purchase some credits and start using
4:15
the together API. So it's not much. You
4:18
can actually purchase just mention the
4:20
amount. You can also purchase $1 as
4:23
well.
4:24
After you purchase it, it has this
4:27
playground section. You can actually
4:29
test out all the APIs
4:32
it has. From here you select the model.
4:34
It has all the models as you see that
4:36
Deepseek
4:37
Gemma.
4:40
From here you select all the models. So
4:42
it has all the models.
4:45
From here you simply select in the
4:48
search bar.
4:52
So the rates are also mentioned right
4:54
here. This is the second website.
4:57
And uh now we come to the next website
5:00
here which is this website
5:03
hyperreal.cloud.
5:06
This is also a very good website if you
5:09
want to try out the APIs in a single
5:11
platform hyperreal.cloud.
5:13
So again you can sign up
5:17
you can sign up using your Google
5:19
account here.
5:24
So once you create the account you see
5:25
this chat section right here. So inside
5:28
the chat section you select the account
5:30
here. Whatever model you want to select.
5:34
So it's specifically related to
5:37
images videos. So if you actually want
5:40
to only select the images. So right here
5:44
you simply say generate image.
5:52
So once you send out this request as you
5:55
see that
5:58
first of all you go to the API key
6:00
section. Uh from here you can create a
6:03
API key as well. As you see that
6:09
so
6:13
from here. Yeah. So you do I think you
6:16
get
6:18
credits your credit balance.
6:26
So by default whenever you sign up you
6:29
get 100 credits by default. You can even
6:32
purchase some more credits as well. So
6:35
in the playground section, you can
6:36
actually
6:51
So you can see it will cost you six
6:53
credits to actually generate this. You
6:56
actually have
7:04
here it is showing you the credits here.
7:10
So now we come to the next website here
7:13
uh in the thing which is Google AI
7:15

7:18
good website aistudio.google.com.
7:20

8:14
this is actually your playground

11:55
so now the API key has been created. So,
11:58
from here you can actually

12:34
is a very good website for checking out
12:37
different APIs or different models.
12:42
So once you create the account, so I'm
12:44
just showing you all the websites which
12:46
are there in the market. So all the
12:48
links are also given in the description.

13:14
to the API key section to actually get
13:16
your API key. It automatically gives you
13:20
click on copy API key and then go to
13:22
playground section and from here in the
13:24
chatbot you simply see send out the
13:27

13:28
So it will reply you you simply select
13:31
whatever model that you want to select
13:33
from here.
13:35
So right here you select
13:40
all these models are there. So this also
13:43
is a very good website. Then we come to
13:46
the next website which is
13:51
sam anova.ai. This also is a really good
13:54
website.
13:59
So it has its own API section where
14:03
you can also do that as well. Then we
14:07
have these
14:09
three more website that I will show you.
14:13
We have Mistral AI. This also is a very
14:16
good platform to actually try out. They
14:19
have their own API keys, different
14:21
models. Then we have Coher ce.com.
14:26
This also is a very good website for
14:28
checking out different APIs and models.
14:34
And the next one is our Deepseek.
14:36
Deepseek also provides you with their
14:38
own API for checking out models. So you
14:42
click the API section, you go to
14:44
platform.desec.com.
14:46
And right here you simply sign up. So
14:48
you can sign up using your Google
14:50
account as well. So once you sign up, it
14:53
gives you enough credits to actually
14:55
test out their API which is
15:05
so you can even top up as well purchase
15:08
some credits as well. Uh simply go to
15:11
API key and just create your own API
15:13
key. This is also very good.
15:16
And uh I think then we also have
15:21
three more websites which are very much
15:23
popular. Then we have GitHub models.
15:26
GitHub also provides their own API as
15:28
well. So it contains all the a models.
15:32
So
15:33
from here you can select a model.
15:38
So it has all the models as you see that
15:40
simply select the model and after that
15:43
it provides you with this chat prompt
15:45
right here. You can chat with any model
15:48
directly.
15:49
Once you chat with it, it will give you
15:51
the response back. You can see that. So
15:55
it also gives you the actual code which
15:57
is required for this alongside with your
15:59
own API key. So right here you will
16:01
replace your GitHub token.
16:05
So
16:06
this is really good thing.
16:10
You can go to the API settings to get
16:12
your own API key. Then we also have
16:15
Nvidia. Nvidia also has their developer
16:17
plan which you can directly go to build
16:21
nvidia.com to actually get an API key.
16:24
It has all the models which are there.
16:27
You can see that
16:29
you can simply sign up on this and click
16:31
on get API key to get your own API key.
16:34
It has all the models which are there
16:36
for you. You can see that.
16:44
And then we have this website.com. Olama
16:47
as you all know this also provides you
16:49
with the free API. It has all the
16:52
models. You can directly download them.
16:54
So it's actually kind of a desktop
16:56
application. You can directly download
16:58
lama inside your own machine. This is a
17:01
command which is there.
17:04
You can download any model. So
17:08
it has a free plan. Uh if you go to the
17:10
pricing section in the free plan, you
17:12
get almost uh everything. You can run
17:15
models on your hardware. You access
17:17
cloud models. It also has CLI, API as
17:20
everything. It also has the $22 plan as
17:24
well. So these are some of the websites
17:27
that I use for actually creating API
17:30
keys, testing out AI models. So
17:34
definitely check this out.
