# The Free Inference Dispatch — 2026-11-02
## 1. This Week in $0 Inference
* **Catalog Status**: Monitoring 37 providers and 129 models total.
* **Provider Probe Status**: Kilo Gateway and Nous Portal report partial model availability. Both providers confirmed 4 to 5 models operational on their respective free tiers, while `poolside/laguna-s-2.1:free` and `poolside/laguna-xs-2.1:free` are currently missing from active endpoints.
* **Quota and Rate Limits**: No upstream API key format shifts or global token limit reductions detected across active providers this cycle.
## 2. Provider Spotlight: SambaNova Cloud
SambaNova Cloud provides high-throughput, low-latency inference on proprietary reconfigurable dataflow architecture (RDU) chips, offering free developer tier access to state-of-the-art open weights models.
* **Base URL**: `https://api.sambanova.ai/v1`
* **Authentication**: Bearer token via SambaNova account dashboard.
* **Free Tier Limits**: Generous rate limits designed for evaluation and prototyping, with strict usage policies against production traffic without a paid tier.
* **OpenAI Compatibility**: Drop-in replacement for standard OpenAI client libraries (`from openai import OpenAI`).
