Stop paying for AI NVIDIA made every top AI FREE
NVIDIA is offering free access to top AI models including Kimmy, MiniAX, GLM, Deepseek, and Llama through their cloud platform at build.nvidia.com. Developers can get a free API key with no credit card required, allowing 40 prompts per minute at no cost. This contrasts with Anthropic's move to push Claude Code users onto a $100/month plan.
Summary
The video, framed as day 24 of a daily AI update series, opens by highlighting a contrast between two major AI companies. Anthropic reportedly tested forcing Claude Code users onto a $100/month plan (over 8,000 rupees), causing concern among developers. In stark contrast, NVIDIA has moved in the opposite direction by offering free access to some of the most powerful open-source and commercial AI models through their own cloud infrastructure.
The speaker walks through how to access NVIDIA's free AI offering via build.nvidia.com, emphasizing that no credit card is required — just an email signup. Users can choose from a range of models including Kimmy for reasoning tasks, MiniAX for coding, and GLM for agent building. NVIDIA provides a free API key through a 'view code' button, which developers can integrate directly into their projects by switching a setting to route through NVIDIA's servers. The service allows up to 40 prompts per minute at no charge, with NVIDIA effectively subsidizing the compute costs.
The speaker frames this as a significant opportunity for solo developers, indie hackers, and students, noting that two years ago, access to top-tier AI cost thousands of dollars per month. The video closes with a sense of urgency, suggesting NVIDIA may tighten or limit this free access in the future, and encourages viewers to take advantage of the window while it remains open. A WhatsApp community is promoted for ongoing updates.
