CrofAI OpenAI-compatible
Aggregator that resells open-source models behind one cheap key.
CrofAI is an inference aggregator: one API key, many open-source models (DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, Qwen, MiniMax, Gemma). Two of its models are completely free, and the paid ones are positioned as the cheapest places to run their respective open weights.
Strengths
- One key, many open-source models
- Two fully free models (Qwen3.5-9B, GLM-4.7-Flash)
- Standard OpenAI endpoint — works with any compatible client
When to use it
- Trying many open-source models under one key
- Exploration before committing to a single provider
- Quick MVPs and prototypes
