## What does pi-free do
|
|
8
|
-
|
|
9
|
-
**pi-free is a Pi extension that unlocks free AI models from 8 different providers.**
|
|
10
|
-
|
|
11
|
-
When you install pi-free, it:
|
|
12
|
-
|
|
13
|
-
1. **Registers 7 AI providers** with Pi's model picker — OpenCode Zen, Kilo, OpenRouter, NVIDIA NIM, Cline, Mistral, and Ollama Cloud
|
|
14
|
-
|
|
15
|
-
2. **Filters to show only free models by default** — You see only the models that cost $0 to use, no API key required for some providers
|
|
16
|
-
|
|
17
|
-
3. **Provides a toggle command** — Run `/{provider}-toggle` (e.g., `/zen-toggle`, `/kilo-toggle`) to switch between free-only mode and showing all models including paid ones
|
|
18
|
-
|
|
19
|
-
4. **Handles authentication for you** — OAuth flows (Kilo, Cline) open your browser automatically; API keys are read from `~/.pi/free.json` or environment variables
|
|
20
|
-
|
|
21
|
-
5. **Adds Coding Index scores** — Model names include a coding benchmark score (CI: 45.2) to help you pick capable coding models at a glance
|
|
22
|
-
|
|
23
|
-
6. **Persists your preferences** — Your toggle choices (free vs all models) are saved to `~/.pi/free.json` and remembered across Pi restarts

## How to use
|
|
28
|
-
|
|
29
|
-
### 1. Install the extension
|
|
30
|
-
|
|
31
|
-
```bash
|
|
32
|
-
pi install git:github.com/apmantza/pi-free
|
|
33
|
-
```
|
|
34
|
-
|
|
35
|
-
### 2. Open the model picker
|
|
36
|
-
|
|
37
|
-
Start Pi and press `Ctrl+L` to open the model picker.
|
|
38
|
-
|
|
39
|
-
Free models are shown by default — look for the provider prefixes:
|
|
40
|
-
- `zen/` — OpenCode Zen models (no setup required)
|
|
41
|
-
- `kilo/` — Kilo models (free models available immediately, more after `/login kilo`)
|
|
42
|
-
- `openrouter/` — OpenRouter models (free account required)
|
|
43
|
-
- `nvidia/` — NVIDIA NIM models (free API key required)

45
|
-
- `mistral/` — Mistral models (API key required)
|
|
46
|
-
- `ollama/` — Ollama Cloud models (API key required)
|
|
47
|
-
|
|
48
|
-
### 3. Toggle between free and paid models
|
|
49
|
-
|
|
50
|
-
Want to see paid models too? Run the toggle command for your provider:
|
|
51
|
-
|
|
52
|
-
```
|
|
53
|
-
/zen-toggle # Toggle Zen free/paid models
|
|
54
|
-
/kilo-toggle # Toggle Kilo free/paid models
|
|
55
|
-
/openrouter-toggle # Toggle OpenRouter free/paid models
|
|
56
|
-
/nvidia-toggle # Toggle NVIDIA zero-cost/credit-costing models
|
|
57
|
-
/cline-toggle # Toggle Cline free/paid models
|
|
58
|
-
/mistral-toggle # Toggle Mistral free/paid models
|
|
59
|
-
/ollama-toggle # Toggle Ollama models (requires SHOW_PAID=true)
|
|
60
|
-
```
|
|
61
|
-
|
|
62
|
-
You'll see a notification like: `zen: showing free models` or `zen: showing all models (including paid)`
|
|
63
|
-
|
|
64
|
-
### 4. Add API keys for more providers (optional)
|
|
65
|
-
|
|
66
|
-
Some providers require a free account or API key.
|
|
67
|
-
|
|
68
|
-
**The first time you run Pi after installing this extension, a config file is automatically created:**
|
|
69
|
-
- **Linux/Mac:** `~/.pi/free.json`
|
|
70
|
-
- **Windows:** `%USERPROFILE%\.pi\free.json`
|
|
71
|
-
|
|
72
|
-
Add your API keys to this file:
|
|
73
|
-
|
|
74
|
-
```json
|
|
75
|
-
{
|
|
76
|
-
"openrouter_api_key": "sk-or-v1-...",
|
|
77
|
-
"nvidia_api_key": "nvapi-...",
|
|
78
|
-
"ollama_api_key": "...",
|
|
79
|
-
"fireworks_api_key": "...",
|
|
80
|
-
"mistral_api_key": "..."
|
|
81
|
-
}
|
|
82
|
-
```
|
|
83
|
-
|
|
84
|
-
Or set environment variables instead (same names, uppercase: `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`, `NVIDIA_API_KEY`, etc.)
|
|
85
|
-
|
|
86
|
-
See the [Providers That Need Authentication](#providers-that-need-authentication) section below for detailed setup instructions per provider.
|
|
87

## Using Free Models (No Setup Required)
|
|
101
|
-
|
|
102
|
-
### OpenCode Zen — Easiest Start
|
|
103
|
-
|
|
104
|
-
Works immediately with zero setup:
|
|
105
|
-
|
|
106
|
-
1. Press `Ctrl+L`
|
|
107
|
-
2. Search for `zen/`
|
|
108
|
-
3. Pick any model (e.g., `zen/mimo-v2-omni-free`)
|
|
109
|
-
4. Start chatting
|
|
110
|
-
|
|
111
|
-
No account, no API key, no OAuth.
|
|
112
|
-
|
|
113
|
-
### Ollama Cloud
|
|
114
|
-
|
|
115
|
-
Get an API key from [ollama.com/settings/keys](https://ollama.com/settings/keys), then:
|
|
116
|
-
|
|
117
|
-
**Option A: Environment variable**
|
|
118
|
-
```bash
|
|
119
|
-
export OLLAMA_API_KEY="..."
|
|
120
|
-
export OLLAMA_SHOW_PAID=true
|
|
121
|
-
```
|
|
122
|
-
|
|
123
|
-
**Option B: Config file** (`~/.pi/free.json`)
|
|
124
|
-
```json
|
|
125
|
-
{
|
|
126
|
-
"ollama_api_key": "YOUR_KEY",
|
|
127
|
-
"ollama_show_paid": true
|
|
128
|
-
}
|
|
129
|
-
```
|
|
130
|
-
|
|
131
|
-
**Note:** Ollama requires `OLLAMA_SHOW_PAID=true` because they have usage limits on their cloud API.
|
|
132
|
-
|
|
133
|
-
Free tier resets every 5 hours + 7 days.
|
|

## Providers That Need Authentication
|
|
138
|
-
|
|
139
|
-
Some providers require free accounts or OAuth to access their free tiers:
|
|
140
|
-
|
|
141
|
-
### Kilo (free models, more after login)
|
|
142
|
-
|
|
143
|
-
Kilo shows free models immediately. To unlock all models, authenticate with Kilo's free OAuth:
|
|
144
|
-
|
|
145
|
-
```
|
|
146
|
-
/login kilo
|
|
147
|
-
```
|
|
148
|
-
|
|
149
|
-
This command will:
|
|
150
|
-
1. Open your browser to Kilo's authorization page
|
|
151
|
-
2. Show a device code in Pi's UI
|
|
152
|
-
3. Wait for you to authorize in the browser
|
|
153
|
-
4. Automatically complete login once approved
|
|
154
|
-
|
|
155
|
-
- No credit card required
|
|
156
|
-
- Free tier: 200 requests/hour
|
|
157
|
-
- After login, run `/kilo-toggle` to switch between free-only and all models
|
|
158
|
-
|
|
159
|
-
### OpenRouter (free models available)
|
|
160
|
-
|
|
161
|
-
Get a free API key at [openrouter.ai/keys](https://openrouter.ai/keys), then either:
|
|
162
|
-
|
|
163
|
-
**Option A: Environment variable**
|
|
164
|
-
```bash
|
|
165
|
-
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="sk-or-v1-..."
|
|
166
|
-
```
|
|
167
|
-
|
|
168
|
-
**Option B: Config file** (`~/.pi/free.json`)
|
|
169
|
-
```json
|
|
170
|
-
{
|
|
171
|
-
"openrouter_api_key": "sk-or-v1-..."
|
|
172
|
-
}
|
|
173
|
-
```
|
|
174
|
-
|
|
175
|
-
Then in Pi:
|
|
176
|
-
```
|
|
177
|
-
/openrouter-all # Show all models (free + paid)
|
|
178
|
-
```
|
|
179
|
-
|
|
180
|
-
### NVIDIA NIM (Free Credits System)
|
|
181
|
-
|
|
182
|
-
NVIDIA provides **free monthly credits** (1000 requests/month) at [build.nvidia.com](https://build.nvidia.com).
|
|
183
|
-
|
|
184
|
-
**Important:** Models have different "costs" per token:
|
|
185
|
-
- **Zero-cost models**: Don't consume your credit balance (shown by default)
|
|
186
|
-
- **Credit-costing models**: Consume credits faster (hidden by default)
|
|
187
|
-
|
|
188
|
-
Get your API key and optionally enable all models:
|
|
189
|
-
|
|
190
|
-
**Option A: Show only free models (default)**
|
|
191
|
-
```bash
|
|
192
|
-
export NVIDIA_API_KEY="nvapi-..."
|
|
193
|
-
```
|
|
194
|
-
Uses only zero-cost models → your 1000 credits last the full month
|
|
195
|
-
|
|
196
|
-
**Option B: Show all models (uses credits faster)**
|
|
197
|
-
```bash
|
|
198
|
-
export NVIDIA_API_KEY="nvapi-..."
|
|
199
|
-
export NVIDIA_SHOW_PAID=true
|
|
200
|
-
```
|
|
201
|
-
|
|
202
|
-
Or in `~/.pi/free.json`:
|
|
203
|
-
```json
|
|
204
|
-
{
|
|
205
|
-
"nvidia_api_key": "nvapi-...",
|
|
206
|
-
"nvidia_show_paid": true
|
|
207
|
-
}
|
|
208
|
-
```
|
|
209
|
-
|
|
210
|
-
Toggle anytime with `/nvidia-toggle`
|
|
211
|
-
|
|
212
|
-
### Cline
|
|
213
|
-
|
|
214
|
-
Cline models appear immediately in the model picker. To use them, authenticate with Cline's free account:
|
|
215
|
-
|
|
216
|
-
```
|
|
217
|
-
/login cline
|
|
218
|
-
```
|
|
219
|
-
|
|
220
|
-
This command will:
|
|
221
|
-
1. Open your browser to Cline's sign-in page
|
|
222
|
-
2. Wait for you to complete sign-in
|
|
223
|
-
3. Automatically complete login once approved
|
|
224
|
-
|
|
225
|
-
- Free account required (no credit card)
|
|
226
|
-
- Uses local ports 48801-48811 for OAuth callback
|
|
227
|
-
|
|
228
|
-
### Mistral
|
|
229
|
-
|
|
230
|
-
Add API key to `~/.pi/free.json` or environment variables:
|
|
231
|
-
|
|
232
|
-
```bash
|
|
233
|
-
export MISTRAL_API_KEY="..."
|
|
234
|
-
```
|
|
235
|
-
|
|
236

## Slash Commands
|
|
239
|
-
|
|
240
|
-

|
|
241
|
-
|
|
242

## What does pi-free do
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
**pi-free is a Pi extension that unlocks free AI models from 8 different providers.**
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
When you install pi-free, it:
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
1. **Registers 7 AI providers** with Pi's model picker — OpenCode Zen, Kilo, OpenRouter, NVIDIA NIM, Cline, Mistral, and Ollama Cloud
|
|
14
|
+
|
|
15
|
+
2. **Filters to show only free models by default** — You see only the models that cost $0 to use, no API key required for some providers
|
|
16
|
+
|
|
17
|
+
3. **Provides a toggle command** — Run `/{provider}-toggle` (e.g., `/zen-toggle`, `/kilo-toggle`) to switch between free-only mode and showing all models including paid ones
|
|
18
|
+
|
|
19
|
+
4. **Handles authentication for you** — OAuth flows (Kilo, Cline) open your browser automatically; API keys are read from `~/.pi/free.json` or environment variables
|
|
20
|
+
|
|
21
|
+
5. **Adds Coding Index scores** — Model names include a coding benchmark score (CI: 45.2) to help you pick capable coding models at a glance
|
|
22
|
+
|
|
23
|
+
6. **Persists your preferences** — Your toggle choices (free vs all models) are saved to `~/.pi/free.json` and remembered across Pi restarts
|
|

## How to use
|
|
28
|
+
|
|
29
|
+
### 1. Install the extension
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+
```bash
|
|
32
|
+
pi install git:github.com/apmantza/pi-free
|
|
33
|
+
```
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
### 2. Open the model picker
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
Start Pi and press `Ctrl+L` to open the model picker.
|
|
38
|
+
|
|
39
|
+
Free models are shown by default — look for the provider prefixes:
|
|
40
|
+
- `zen/` — OpenCode Zen models (no setup required)
|
|
41
|
+
- `kilo/` — Kilo models (free models available immediately, more after `/login kilo`)
|
|
42
|
+
- `openrouter/` — OpenRouter models (free account required)
|
|
43
|
+
- `nvidia/` — NVIDIA NIM models (free API key required)
|
|
44
|
+
- `cline/` — Cline models (run `/login cline` to use)
|
|
45
|
+
- `mistral/` — Mistral models (API key required)
|
|
46
|
+
- `ollama/` — Ollama Cloud models (API key required)
|
|
47
|
+
|
|
48
|
+
### 3. Toggle between free and paid models
|
|
49
|
+
|
|
50
|
+
Want to see paid models too? Run the toggle command for your provider:
|
|
51
|
+
|
|
52
|
+
```
|
|
53
|
+
/zen-toggle # Toggle Zen free/paid models
|
|
54
|
+
/kilo-toggle # Toggle Kilo free/paid models
|
|
55
|
+
/openrouter-toggle # Toggle OpenRouter free/paid models
|
|
56
|
+
/nvidia-toggle # Toggle NVIDIA zero-cost/credit-costing models
|
|
57
|
+
/cline-toggle # Toggle Cline free/paid models
|
|
58
|
+
/mistral-toggle # Toggle Mistral free/paid models
|
|
59
|
+
/ollama-toggle # Toggle Ollama models (requires SHOW_PAID=true)
|
|
60
|
+
```
|
|
61
|
+
|
|
62
|
+
You'll see a notification like: `zen: showing free models` or `zen: showing all models (including paid)`
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
### 4. Add API keys for more providers (optional)
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+
Some providers require a free account or API key.
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
**The first time you run Pi after installing this extension, a config file is automatically created:**
|
|
69
|
+
- **Linux/Mac:** `~/.pi/free.json`
|
|
70
|
+
- **Windows:** `%USERPROFILE%\.pi\free.json`
|
|
71
|
+
|
|
72
|
+
Add your API keys to this file:
|
|
73
|
+
|
|
74
|
+
```json
|
|
75
|
+
{
|
|
76
|
+
"openrouter_api_key": "sk-or-v1-...",
|
|
77
|
+
"nvidia_api_key": "nvapi-...",
|
|
78
|
+
"ollama_api_key": "...",
|
|
79
|
+
"fireworks_api_key": "...",
|
|
80
|
+
"mistral_api_key": "..."
|
|
81
|
+
}
|
|
82
|
+
```
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
Or set environment variables instead (same names, uppercase: `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`, `NVIDIA_API_KEY`, etc.)
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
See the [Providers That Need Authentication](#providers-that-need-authentication) section below for detailed setup instructions per provider.
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+

## Using Free Models (No Setup Required)
|
|
101
|
+
|
|
102
|
+
### OpenCode Zen — Easiest Start
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
Works immediately with zero setup:
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
1. Press `Ctrl+L`
|
|
107
|
+
2. Search for `zen/`
|
|
108
|
+
3. Pick any model (e.g., `zen/mimo-v2-omni-free`)
|
|
109
|
+
4. Start chatting
|
|
110
|
+
|
|
111
|
+
No account, no API key, no OAuth.
|
|
112
|
+
|
|
113
|
+
### Ollama Cloud
|
|
114
|
+
|
|
115
|
+
Get an API key from [ollama.com/settings/keys](https://ollama.com/settings/keys), then:
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
**Option A: Environment variable**
|
|
118
|
+
```bash
|
|
119
|
+
export OLLAMA_API_KEY="..."
|
|
120
|
+
export OLLAMA_SHOW_PAID=true
|
|
121
|
+
```
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
**Option B: Config file** (`~/.pi/free.json`)
|
|
124
|
+
```json
|
|
125
|
+
{
|
|
126
|
+
"ollama_api_key": "YOUR_KEY",
|
|
127
|
+
"ollama_show_paid": true
|
|
128
|
+
}
|
|
129
|
+
```
|
|
130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
**Note:** Ollama requires `OLLAMA_SHOW_PAID=true` because they have usage limits on their cloud API.
|
|
132
|
+
|
|
133
|
+
Free tier resets every 5 hours + 7 days.
|
|
134
|
+
|
|

## Providers That Need Authentication
|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
Some providers require free accounts or OAuth to access their free tiers:
|
|
140
|
+
|
|
141
|
+
### Kilo (free models, more after login)
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
Kilo shows free models immediately. To unlock all models, authenticate with Kilo's free OAuth:
|
|
144
|
+
|
|
145
|
+
```
|
|
146
|
+
/login kilo
|
|
147
|
+
```
|
|
148
|
+
|
|
149
|
+
This command will:
|
|
150
|
+
1. Open your browser to Kilo's authorization page
|
|
151
|
+
2. Show a device code in Pi's UI
|
|
152
|
+
3. Wait for you to authorize in the browser
|
|
153
|
+
4. Automatically complete login once approved
|
|
154
|
+
|
|
155
|
+
- No credit card required
|
|
156
|
+
- Free tier: 200 requests/hour
|
|
157
|
+
- After login, run `/kilo-toggle` to switch between free-only and all models
|
|
158
|
+
|
|
159
|
+
### OpenRouter (free models available)
|
|
160
|
+
|
|
161
|
+
Get a free API key at [openrouter.ai/keys](https://openrouter.ai/keys), then either:
|
|
162
|
+
|
|
163
|
+
**Option A: Environment variable**
|
|
164
|
+
```bash
|
|
165
|
+
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="sk-or-v1-..."
|
|
166
|
+
```
|
|
167
|
+
|
|
168
|
+
**Option B: Config file** (`~/.pi/free.json`)
|
|
169
|
+
```json
|
|
170
|
+
{
|
|
171
|
+
"openrouter_api_key": "sk-or-v1-..."
|
|
172
|
+
}
|
|
173
|
+
```
|
|
174
|
+
|
|
175
|
+
Then in Pi:
|
|
176
|
+
```
|
|
177
|
+
/openrouter-all # Show all models (free + paid)
|
|
178
|
+
```
|
|
179
|
+
|
|
180
|
+
### NVIDIA NIM (Free Credits System)
|
|
181
|
+
|
|
182
|
+
NVIDIA provides **free monthly credits** (1000 requests/month) at [build.nvidia.com](https://build.nvidia.com).
|
|
183
|
+
|
|
184
|
+
**Important:** Models have different "costs" per token:
|
|
185
|
+
- **Zero-cost models**: Don't consume your credit balance (shown by default)
|
|
186
|
+
- **Credit-costing models**: Consume credits faster (hidden by default)
|
|
187
|
+
|
|
188
|
+
Get your API key and optionally enable all models:
|
|
189
|
+
|
|
190
|
+
**Option A: Show only free models (default)**
|
|
191
|
+
```bash
|
|
192
|
+
export NVIDIA_API_KEY="nvapi-..."
|
|
193
|
+
```
|
|
194
|
+
Uses only zero-cost models → your 1000 credits last the full month
|
|
195
|
+
|
|
196
|
+
**Option B: Show all models (uses credits faster)**
|
|
197
|
+
```bash
|
|
198
|
+
export NVIDIA_API_KEY="nvapi-..."
|
|
199
|
+
export NVIDIA_SHOW_PAID=true
|
|
200
|
+
```
|
|
201
|
+
|
|
202
|
+
Or in `~/.pi/free.json`:
|
|
203
|
+
```json
|
|
204
|
+
{
|
|
205
|
+
"nvidia_api_key": "nvapi-...",
|
|
206
|
+
"nvidia_show_paid": true
|
|
207
|
+
}
|
|
208
|
+
```
|
|
209
|
+
|
|
210
|
+
Toggle anytime with `/nvidia-toggle`
|
|
211
|
+
|
|
212
|
+
### Cline
|
|
213
|
+
|
|
214
|
+
Cline models appear immediately in the model picker. To use them, authenticate with Cline's free account:
|
|
215
|
+
|
|
216
|
+
```
|
|
217
|
+
/login cline
|
|
218
|
+
```
|
|
219
|
+
|
|
220
|
+
This command will:
|
|
221
|
+
1. Open your browser to Cline's sign-in page
|
|
222
|
+
2. Wait for you to complete sign-in
|
|
223
|
+
3. Automatically complete login once approved
|
|
224
|
+
|
|
225
|
+
- Free account required (no credit card)
|
|
226
|
+
- Uses local ports 48801-48811 for OAuth callback
|
|
227
|
+
|
|
228
|
+
### Mistral
|
|
229
|
+
|
|
230
|
+
Add API key to `~/.pi/free.json` or environment variables:
|
|
231
|
+
|
|
232
|
+
```bash
|
|
233
|
+
export MISTRAL_API_KEY="..."
|
|
234
|
+
```
|
|
235
|
+
|
|
236
|
+

## Slash Commands
|
|
239
|
+
|
|
240
|
+
Each provider has toggle commands to switch between free and all models:
|
|
241
|
+
|
|
242
|
+

|
|
252
|
+
**The toggle command:**
|
|
253
|
+
- Switches between showing only free models vs. all available models
|
|
254
|
+

|
+
## Configuration
|
|
260
|
+
|
|
261
|

Create `~/.pi/free.json` in your home directory:
|
|
262
|
+
|
|
263
|
+
```json
|
|
264
|
+
{
|
|
265
|
+
"openrouter_api_key": "YOUR_OPENROUTER_KEY",
