Free AI Chats You Can Use Right Now

You do not need a graphics card to use a strong free AI. The labs run their own free chat websites, free APIs let you try top models here, and small models run on your own phone or PC. Data of 25 Oct 2026.

Free AI chats from the labs

Most labs that release open models also run a free chat website. On every model page we link the official chat when there is one. Next to each lab, its best free chat model on Arena.

Try free AI on this site

16 models have a free API on OpenRouter today. Our Try and compare page sends one prompt to two of them: you connect your free OpenRouter account in one click, and your prompts go from your browser straight to OpenRouter. We never see your key or your messages.

Free AI on your phone and your PC

Small open models can also run on your own phone or computer, for free and fully private.

Free AI on your phone

Small open models that run offline on a phone, how much memory they need and which free apps run them.

Free AI on your PC

Pick your graphics card and see which top-voted open models fit, how the memory splits and how fast they write. See also how much GPU memory you need.

What “free” usually costs you

Free tiers exist to bring developers in. Some providers may use free-tier prompts to improve their models, so read the terms before sending anything private. Running a model at home is the only option where nothing leaves your computer.
