Find free models

Discover local zero-cost and provider free-tier model options.

arka free_models
arka free_models --json
arka free_models --offline

Results distinguish local zero-cost runtimes, live OpenRouter zero-price models, and provider free-tier-eligible models. Free-tier availability still depends on account, region, quotas, and provider policy; Arka never labels a paid model free merely because it has a free quota. Use arka hybrid status to see which discovered local or hosted options are actually reachable.
