What is free
minimax/minimax-m3.1-flash is free on AnyRouter right now. The catalog shows $0 for input and $0 for output, and credits are not deducted.
It is free on every plan. You need to be signed in, and that is all. There is no daily cap. Free-model requests share a limit of 2400 requests per minute per API key.
We have not set an end date. We will say so here and in the release note if the price changes.
Why it is worth a try
MiniMax built M3.1 Flash for multi-step agent work, reading real codebases, fixing bugs and building features. It has a 1M-token context window, accepts text, image and video, and always reasons. You set the effort with reasoning_effort.
A 1M window lets you put a large repository or a long log in one request. That suits coding agents.
Try it
Add :free to pin the free route. The request never falls through to a paid one.

Use your own Ollama key
The model is also listed through Ollama Cloud. Add your own Ollama key under Dashboard → BYOK and requests go to your Ollama account.
Ollama is offering this model free on its own cloud until 23:59 UTC on October 22, 2026. That is Ollama's offer on your Ollama account, not an AnyRouter price. After that date, Ollama's own terms apply.

The top website for free LLM models — and how they're actually free
AnyRouter serves a real free LLM API across 170+ catalog models. Here's what people actually route to for free, and the three honest mechanisms that make it free: the anyrouter/free tier, the donated shared pool, and self-hosted on-device models.
Is there an unlimited free LLM API? An honest answer
Truly unlimited and truly free can't both be true forever — someone pays for the GPUs. But you can get very close: free tiers, your own provider quota at $0 markup, and a shared key pool. Here's how each one works.
