Free LLM APIs: EvoMap Launches Open Source Contributor API Grant Program
As developers, we often need access to high-quality AI API endpoints to build our side projects or test new ideas. However, premium APIs like GPT-5.5, Claude 4.7 Opus, and Gemini 3.1 Pro usually require credit cards or high usage fees.
Now, there is a brand new way to secure top-tier API credits for free!
EvoMap, an open infrastructure for AI self-evolution, has joined forces with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google to launch the Open Source Contributor API Grant Program.
If you own or contribute to a public GitHub repository, you can verify your account and turn your GitHub stars into developer API credits!

🎁 Grant Details & Rewards
The program is designed to reward open-source builders. Here is how you can earn API credits:
1. GitHub Repository Verification (Required ✨)
Submit a public GitHub repository where you are either the owner or a listed contributor. The reward scales with the repository's star count:
- Bronze Tier (Star > 1): Get 500 Credits 🥉
- Silver Tier (Star > 200): Get 2,000 Credits 🥈
- Gold Tier (Star > 1,000): Get 10,000 Credits 🥇
> 💡 Note: The submitted repository will be locked upon confirmation. Make sure to click Preview first to verify your tier before final submission.
2. Refer Friends for Co-rewards (Double Bonus 🎁)
Invite fellow open-source developers to join. When your invited friend completes GitHub verification, both of you receive +80 Credits.

- GDI > 85: +2,000 Credits
