Vercel AI Gateway gives one key access to supported models. Available credits and eligible models follow the current Vercel plan.
Get the API key
- Sign in to Vercel and open AI Gateway.
- Choose the intended team or project, open API Keys, and create a key.
- Copy the key and store it securely.
Use the key on Free AI API
Paste the key into the API Key field on a Vercel AI Gateway endpoint page and run the selected model.
Credits, model availability, and renewal terms can change; check the Vercel dashboard before relying on a quota.
Security: never publish the key. Free AI API forwards it for the current request and does not store it on the server.
