FreeTheAI Cookbook

Runnable examples for the free, OpenAI-compatible FreeTheAI API. Each recipe is a folder in the repository with a short README and the code to run it.

Start with Getting started for the key and the base URL, then pick a recipe.

from freetheai import FreeTheAI

client = FreeTheAI()  # reads FREETHEAI_API_KEY
reply = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="fta/zai/glm-5.3",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)
print(reply["choices"][0]["message"]["content"])

For apps such as SillyTavern, JanitorAI, Claude Code, Cline, and Cursor, use the guides at freetheai.org/setup. They are kept up to date there.
