6 ways to use Llama free.
BlockRun is the access layer. Pick the surface that matches how you build — terminal, notebook, IDE, agent runtime — and the same free models work everywhere.

We don't share
your data.
Your prompt goes to the AI provider you picked. Nothing else, nowhere else. No training, no retention beyond the request, no profile linking.
- No training, no retention beyond the request. Your prompt is forwarded only to the AI provider you select.
- Wallet in, prompt out. Pseudonymous by default — no email, no phone number, no identity documents.
- Read the code, audit the wire format, run it yourself. @blockrun/llm and blockrun-llm on npm and PyPI.
Want Claude, GPT-5,
or Gemini too?
No subscription. No monthly minimum. Pay per call in USDC via x402 — works the same endpoint, same SDK, same model IDs. Connect a wallet, top up $5, call any frontier model. No credit card.
Everything you might
be wondering.
- Is the Llama API really free?
- Yes. Meta's Llama 3.2 11B Vision is hosted free on NVIDIA's build.nvidia.com tier and exposed through BlockRun without payment, signup, or wallet. We pass NVIDIA's quota straight through.
- What happened to Llama 4 Maverick and Nemotron Super 49B?
- Both are gone from our free upstream — Maverick hangs and NVIDIA published an end-of-life for the 49B on 2026-08-30. Calls pinned to either ID auto-redirect to a live free model, so they still return 200, and this page will switch back if a newer free Llama appears.
- Do I need an API key?
- No. The endpoint accepts unauthenticated requests when the model is free. For paid models (Claude, GPT-5, Gemini), you connect a wallet and pay per call via x402.
- What's the catch?
- NVIDIA's free tier may use prompts for service improvement — don't send PII or proprietary data. For private inference, route to paid models or run Llama yourself.
- What's the request size limit?
- 128 KB per request body for free models (vs 5 MB for paid). Plenty for most chat workloads but not for long context dumps.
- Can I use the OpenAI SDK?
- Yes. BlockRun is OpenAI-compatible — set base_url to https://blockrun.ai/api/v1 and any OpenAI client just works.
